To My Sister For Life
Erin Marx

Dear Soul sister,

I am going to start this off by saying thank you. Thank you for everything you have do for me. For all the fun adventures we have had and those times when we would be driving to the beach, home from high school, or driving around doing random things and singing Taylor swift at the top of our lungs.

Those endless nights of staying up late giggling about random things, and talking about things that girls only talk about. How we know each others crushes, and giggled about how they looked at us once more than the usual zero times. How we would do each other's makeup and experiment with different makeup looks that we found on the internet because we were getting ready for prom.

Those times when we would have those heart to heart talks and only talk about girly things. How we always had each others back when it came to a loss at a field hockey game, when we had a grade that we were not to happy with, and each others shoulder to cry on. One memory that I remember was when I was failing chemistry our junior year, and a break up on top of it, and we were heading to field hockey practice and I just broke down. I remember crying and crying and you were right there for me and said just calm down and drink some water.

Then, shortly after we were laughing about something and you made me forget why I cried. We survived the elementary school struggles of the playground, and getting to the swings first and playing dodge ball with the guys and being able to kick the ball out of the park. We used to play jump rope and sing those rhymes to see who would be our future husband, when "Cinderella was dressed in yellow, went upstairs to kiss her fellow, how many kisses did she get?"

Fast forward five years and we walked through the halls of middle school. Where we went to our first school dance, when we had our own locker and we thought that was the coolest thing. When we went back to school shopping the number one school supply item was a locker mirror. After we survived middle school we entered the biggest uncharted hallways of all:high school.

We made it through freshmen year which entailed a few dates we went on, a few heartbreaks and our first high school football game. Then we made it through sophomore year when we had boyfriends at the same time, we discovered what makeup was and actually wore it a few times during the weeks and we couldn't wait to graduate. Junior year was of course well junior year when we were almost there and almost the top but still not seniority.

Then, before we knew it we were seniors. Our last year of WMHS Field hockey, our last pep rally, our last musical. Senior year also, of course, included PROM! taking you with me to find my prom dress was so important to me because I had to share that memory with you. Before we knew it we were getting in the limo and we had the time of our lives! Then we got out of the limo and right into cap and gown. When we tossed our caps in the air we were finally done. 12 years gone like that. Now we are in different states going to college and not within 5 minutes of each others house, but more like 4 hours. I can not believe how fast time has flown but no matter what, we are friends forever.


Sincerely,

Your Best Friend

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
