An Open Letter To My Free Month Of Netflix

Netflix,

Hello, it's me. It's January 24, 2016 at 11:07 PM and I just went to sign onto my account. I see you've ended our relationship; our whirlwind month is over. You left me with no warning. I feel abandoned and betrayed.

When we started this relationship on Christmas Eve, I saw you as nothing more than a winter break distraction. You caught my eye with your "free month" advertisement and I never anticipated on you meaning more to me than just an episode or two, but as we spent hours together laying in my bed, I grew closer to you and became dependent on your company.

You knew me better than anyone with your "Best Picks For You" recommendations. It meant so much to me that you knew exactly what I wanted. When I was feeling sad, a comedy was just a click away. When I was feel nostalgic, "The Office" was waiting for me in my queue.

Your communication made me feel important. You always checked to make sure I was OK when you asked "Are You Still Watching?" hours after my eyes had glazed over.

On lazy Sundays, you were there. In between classes, you were there. On sleepless nights, you were there. You were committed to me; no breaks and no commercials. Now, when I want to watch my favorite shows, I'm competing with shampoo commercials and local weather updates.

I thought what we had was special. I thought the time we spent together was enough for you, but in the end, you wanted more from me than I could give you: $7.99/month. Maybe one day our paths will cross and I'll have more in my bank account to offer. Until then, I hope you're making someone else happy.

I'll never forget the times we had and I'll never know how Parks & Rec ends.

xoxo

Love always,

Me

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.
