An Open Letter To The Boys Next Door

Please turn your music down.

An Open Letter To The Boys Next Door
The Pitch

Dear the boys next door,

Before I start, I'd just like to say that I'm sure you are truly lovely people who have nothing but good intentions at heart. I am also very happy that you all are having such a blast in college. However, for the love of all that is great, PLEASE turn your music down. I don't know why you insist on partying all days of the week or why you play loud music at all hours of the day, but some people (clearly not you two) like to study, sleep, or maybe just have some peaceful Netflix times. You always seem to have about a million people in your room (I still haven't figured out how they all fit in there) and they, as well as you, love to scream over one another. I come from a very loud, rambunctious family and am accustomed to constant noise but this, dear neighbors, is on a whole other level of loud. It's impressive, I'll give you that, yet hard to appreciate at two a.m.

I would also like to point out that slamming your door closed every two seconds can be felt throughout the entire hall, as neighbors down the way have commented on the reverberations. I understand that you enjoy letting people into the party, but you should consider closing it regularly instead of slamming it. Just a thought. As well as this, my roommate and I simply do not care that you want to 'talk' or 'hang out' at all hours of the morning. If it's after midnight, we won't answer the door so don't even come knockin'. Besides, the last time you barged your way in, you ate half of MY granola bar and then left in on the desk. Open. Running down the halls in the middle of the night while simultaneously screaming and laughing is another highly irritating tendency you all have. Hearing a stampede of boys in the middle of the night (especially when I have an 8 a.m.) is the absolute worst thing to wake up to.

The walls are paper thin, so it's not entirely your fault that I can't sleep or study or hear myself think when you all are partying. This being said, you could be considerate and turn it down a tad or two. Or three. Thanks.

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.
