Open Letter To The One That Got Away

Dear You,

Who are you? Are you still the person who thought he had the world at his feet, or are you the person who promised me the world? You choose. Actually, no. You chose.

It's like one day you just disappeared and left no trace of what you used to be to me. You chose to go back to being as empty as you were before we met. It's truly sad to see everything we build ourselves upon is now just irrelevant. The plans, the dreams, the hopes. They all seem to think it was always a joke to you and quite frankly I'm starting to think we were a joke too.

It seems like leaving was a choice you made overnight. Like you woke up one morning and decided to go back to your old self, asking me to forget how used to having you I was. It's kind of like punching me in the face, but I'll try to think of it as a punch with a soft boxing glove. Because I don't know what to do or what to say anymore. You have time for everything except for at least wondering if I'm still alive. We went from talking all day every day to not saying a word like it is that easy to just cut off someone out of my life. I keep blaming it on myself because you're going around living your life so calmly like none of this ever meant a thing.

I was good to you. I loved you the exact way I've always wanted to be loved and it was the last thing that I felt confidently good at. But it's okay. I don't know if I will ever be able to thank you for being everything and nothing at once. It makes no sense. But I'm done. I truly wish you the best and I hope from the bottom of my heart that life gives you whatever you need to fill your emptiness.

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.
