An Open Letter To My Childhood Best Friend

Dear my childhood best friend,

I think the best thing about a childhood best friend is that no matter how long you go without speaking because life is crazy, how many arguments you have, or what life decides to throw at you, you know they will always be there.

Not many people are lucky enough to say they had been best friends with someone for their whole life, I'm so blessed to say I'm lucky enough to experience that. It blows my mind to think I have had you in my life for 17 years. I thank god for you everyday.

Thank you for standing by my side through all my firsts and giving me the best advice possible to help me get through them. Thank you for making me realize my first heartbreak wasn't actually the end of the world and I will be okay. Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself and giving me the best advice possible because sometimes I don't think straight. Which brings me to my next point, thank you for not getting mad at me when I get mad at you because I don't like your advice even though you're looking out for my best interest.

Thank you for standing by my side the past 17 years of my life, through the good, the bad, the sad times and the happy times. Thank you for telling me when I'm ugly and when I'm pretty. Thank you for standing next to me through all my ugly moments and being my shoulder to cry on but more importantly my success and being my motivator. Thank you for sharing your family with me like I share mine with you and for allowing your house to be my second house my whole life.

I would be lost without you. I love you always.

Faith

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.

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.
