Sometimes I saw it coming, sometimes I didn't

An Open Letter To The Friends Who Drifted Apart

My entire life I've had people come and go. It used to bother me a lot, but I've grown to accept it. Sometimes people aren't meant to stay with you for the rest of your life. They're brought in for a while, to teach you something, or to just be with you during that season of your life. Eventually, time catches up with you and suddenly, you've drifted apart. Maybe you didn't realize it, or maybe you did. This is for those people.


To the friends who drifted apart,

For some of you, I never realized we'd drifted so far away. I apologize for promising to always be there, when I am clearly not right now. As anyone who knows me, I've always been bad with communicating sometimes. I also always hate to break a promise. Life gets busy and you lose track of time, but that shouldn't be an excuse. I've always tried to keep up with people, so I hope you don't hold that against me. I hope that things in your life are going your way. When you happen across my mind, or I see your username pop up on Twitter or Instagram, know I always take a second to pray for you. We always talked about our dreams and what we wanted to achieve in life, and even though I may not actively be in your life at this moment, I still hope you achieve those dreams. One day we'll reconnect, maybe one day soon, and I hope we act like nothing has changed.

For some of you, I did know we were drifting apart and I tried my best to stop it. Sometimes no matter how hard you try to keep someone close, like I said above, they aren't meant to stay for the next season of life. I won't lie and say it didn't suck/hurt. I've always heard that loosing friends is worse than a bad break-up, no matter the circumstances. I made a lot of promises, and I'm sorry I broke them. Wherever you are in life right now, I hope you're doing well. I hope God has blessed you as much as He's blessed me, and I hope he continues too. Maybe you'll come back in another season of life, or maybe you won't and that's okay. Thank you for everything you did for 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.
