Never turn your back, even when they do.

Open Letter To The Ones Who Leave You Behind

I never understand how some can go from talking to you every single day to dropping you and not talking to you at all. It's not like some people are disposable while others aren't. But sometimes certain people are too stuck in their own little world to realize this for themselves. It's happened millions of times in the 19 years of my life. People come and go; it's just the way of life. But, for some reason, I thought this time was going to be different. Long story short, it wasn't.

So here's to you, and to everyone else who has decided to leave someone behind.

I don't think you understand what you're doing; when you leave someone you end up hurting them so much more than you will ever know. They sit there wondering what it is they did wrong or why they are no longer good enough for you. Eventually we come to realize that it was you that decided you no longer needed us. We helped you with whatever it was you needed to fix, from a self-confidence issue to heartbreak, when no one else was there for you. Then once you were all better and your old "friends" came back to you, it was time to leave the one who fixed you. Now, I'm sure you didn't mean to do this on purpose, but nonetheless you did it.

That being said, you're still kind of in luck.

Lucky for you I'm the kind of person who no matter what you do to me I will always be willing to help you go through whatever you need. I'll be there for you in a heartbeat. Even after you letting me go. Just because you changed your mind about me doesn't mean that I have changed my mind about you. One day you'll see I was here when no one else was.

I know you're still young, as I was a few years older than you, so I'm sure as you get older you will realize that I was one of those friends who was really there for you. But that's okay beacuse if ever you do change your mind I will still be here waiting for you. Because as you grow up and finish high school you tend to realize that some people are those who are worth waiting for. Even if it means waiting awhile.

I just wanted you to know that I'm always thinking about you and here for you. No matter what stage of life you and I are in, I will always be willing to help you. I'll still lend you my shoulders and tell you the things you need to hear, if you do ever choose to want them again. Don't ever hesitate to talk to me, I will never do you like you did me. You were family to me and if there's anything I've learned from being a car girl and loving Fast and Furious movies is that "you don't turn your back on family... even when they do."

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.
