An Open Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

You were always my common denominator.

To My Childhood Best Friend,

Where do I even start? Our friendship started when we were very young. We survived all those crazy kindergarten days together, and then soon we were concurring grade school together. Our matching outfits or friendship necklaces were always a hit. Not long after, we tackled middle school together. We were there for each other to share our first kiss experience and our first heartbreak. High school came around, and we got our first cars. We would follow each other to school every morning and park right next to each other. The mornings we were running late, we knew. You would blare the horn until I got in my car, or I would I wait at the end of my driveway until you past. Before we knew it, we were being asked to the prom, and in a blink of an eye, we were walking across the stage at our high school graduation. Throughout it all, you were always there. Now, we have entered the next chapter- college.

You were always my common denominator. You are that person that easily become more than a friend but family, too. I mean there are weeks that you ate dinner at my house more than your own through high school. You know where my spare key is to my house, and there are days you sometimes talk to my mom more than I do.

I love you, girlfriend. Our friendship has truly been the foundation of my entire social life. You truly taught me how to be a friend, and I cannot thank you enough. If there is one person in this life that I know will always been there for me, it's you.

We may not see it other as much as we did at one time, but there isn't a moment I know of that we weren't there for each other. I love when I call and you still understand everything, and I barely have to say anything at all.

College has be an experience. It has made it even harder that you aren't physically by side. Of course, I miss you. But I know we are both happy where we are.

In this life, you are going to great things. You are the most hardworking people I know. Your smile and strong-will is contagious. And I will forever be in your corner.

Whether I am 2 miles up the road or 75 miles from you, I always got your back. I cannot what to see what the future holds for each of us, and I am honored to call you one of my best friends.

So thank you. Thank you for always being there and sharing this crazy journey with me. I couldn't have survived this long without you. People search their entire lives to find that one person who always understands, and fortunately, we found that in our first ever friend.

I love you, always and forever. Just know, you always have a friend in me.

Sincerely,

Your forever best friend.

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.
