Thank you for everything you did for me.

There are so many things I could say, so many questions I could ask if I got the chance, but instead I will just say thank you. I have no resentment to you at all. You did what you had to do what was best for you and that's okay. We were going down different paths in life and wanted different things. There was no possible way for both of us to get what we wanted. We grew apart and it was time to go our separate ways, it was time to walk away.

First off I want to say thank you for putting up with me. I will be the first person to admit I am not the easiest person in the world to put up with. And you did, you did it so well to be honest. You put up with me being rude, not having a filter, being indecisive and unsure, and everything else.

Thank you for teaching me how to open up to people again. For so long I shut so many people out, people that wanted to get to know me. But you wouldn't let me do that to you. You weren't rude about it you just slowly got me to open up to you some how and to be honest I'm not really sure how you even did that. You made me feel comfortable letting you into my world.

Thank you for so many memories. There are so many memories that I will never forget from late night talks to random adventures. We had a lot of fun together. Those are memories that I could never have with anyone else because no one else is quite like you and I.

Thank you for being my best friend. You were one of my best friends for sure. Everyone comes into your life for a reason. You had a reason for coming into my life but you couldn't stay in my life and thats okay. Thank you for the short amount of time you were in my life though.

Thank you for teaching me that you can't "fix" everyone. I wanted so badly to help you and show you that not everyone is the same. You made me realize that you can't save someone unless they want to be saved and helped. In the process of trying to "fix" you it did no good for me or you.

Lastly thank you for walking away. I knew for a while before you actually did it, that, that moment was coming but I just couldn't be the one to do it. I didn't want to believe that, that was what was happening. I'm the person that doesn't like to give up and I felt like that was giving up so I couldn't do it. So I am thankful that you were able to walk away because that's what you needed to do with your life. It's what we needed but I couldn't do it.

Maybe one day we will walk back into each others lives maybe we won't. But whatever happens happens, whatever happens is meant to happen in this crazy thing we call life. Thank you for everything you did for me. Some of these things are obvious but others you probably never even realized you did and I want to say thank you for all of it, the good and the bad.

Love always,

Me

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.
