An Open Letter To The People Driving From The Party
Boise Weekly

To the person leaving the party,

Hey there! What is going on? That party was pretty awesome, wasn't it? I just have one question for you though. Where do you think you are going? I hope you aren't thinking about driving anywhere. Do you really think that you are in any way in good shape to drive?

If you just said, "Yeah!!!! Of course I am good to drive!!!!!" Get ready for a slap up side the head and think again. You have been drinking for the past couple hours and now you think that you are good to drive... Really?

Let me tell you what you are going to be doing if you start that car. You are putting a countless number of innocent people in danger because you are "good to drive." You are also putting your life in danger.

Imagine this: You start driving home because you only had like three or four drinks. While you are driving home all of a sudden there is a car that came out of nowhere and the next think you hear and see are police sirens and lights. They put you and handcuffs and put you in the back of a squad car and you have no clue what is going on. You soon find out that that you T-boned that car. The driver of that car was a 17 year old kid who was going to be the first in their family to go to college. They were going to go and play basketball at Duke. They are now paralyzed from the waist down and lost their scholarship to go to school. Now you ruined a dream and you have a fine up to $10,000, you are heading to jail for up to two years, and possibly longer because of other charges all of that because you were "alright to drive."

Please, if you still feel like driving, don't do it. Don't drive for all of the people that care about you. Your parents. Your siblings. Your best friend. You have no clue how much they will miss you if you were to die in an accident. Please for you, your family, your friends and your future. Don't drink and drive.

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.
