To My Childhood Best Friend

Even though I do not see you too often, I know you are always there for me, and the same goes towards you.

To My Childhood Best Friend
msecnd.net

Let's face it, the primary reason we met was because of our parents. They were best friends, and they had the vision that we were going to be as well. And they were absolutely correct! Some of my favorite childhood memories are the ones with you. When we were kids, we were always the crazy ones running around the house like complete maniacs, playing hide and seek with our cats, and at times, driving our parents absolutely crazy, with our endless energy.

The day I found out you guys were moving to the other side of the state was by far one of the hardest days of my life. You were my best friend, and I had no idea how life was going to go on without you. I had spent a decent amount of time crying, wondering what life was going to be like from now on because having you as a best friend was all that I knew. In that time frame, there were a few times you guys came out for visits, which were again, some of my most favorite memories. It was like you never left because we bounced right back to where we left off, just about every time you came out.

A couple years later, we were in the fourth grade, and I had heard some of my classmates discuss how there's a new girl at the school. I had no idea that was you until I actually saw you because our parents decided to keep it a surprise that you guys were moving back. Towards the end of that school year, our bond was stronger than ever. I remember us, with a couple of our other friends singing and dancing to Hannah Montana for the school talent show. Later on, we also decided that we were going to make an attempt at having careers as YouTube stars, which we both know that crashed and burned at the surface.

Even though our attempted YouTube career was a disaster, at least we were good at sports. From softball to soccer and basketball, we were a dynamic duo! In soccer, I remember us being the primary scorers for the majority of the teams we played on, and for softball you had the outfield covered, and I was strong in the infield. I will also never forget those moments when we would vent about our middle school "boyfriends", or at least I think that's what we called them back in the day.

Another couple years had passed, and just as everything seemed to be going perfect, we received the news that you were moving again, back to the other side of the state. I had remembered how much that hurt last time, but I knew that no matter what had happened, you were always going to be one of my best friends. You still managed to make my sweet sixteen party, which meant the world to me, more than you will ever fully know. Even though we do not see each other too often anymore, I just want you to know you have been one of the greatest things that have ever happened to me. I am so proud of you for everything you have accomplished, and I just want to say thank you, I love you and I hope I get to see you again soon!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
