An Open Letter To The Girl Who Doesn't Want To Be My Friend

You're not better than me.

Girl Of Many Faces,

I do not know why you don’t want to be my friend. I always thought I was pretty great, but you don’t seem to think that. You’re not the first of your kind, and I’m sure you won’t be the last, but girls like you have got to have something else going on. Your decision to dislike me makes no sense. We like a lot of the same things. We have similar personalities, but you don’t want to be my friend. We were friends before, but you don’t want to be my friend now. Don’t get me wrong, I am not here begging for you to be my friend. I have enough self-esteem to know that I should not have to beg someone to be my friend, and I would never want to be friends with someone that I had to beg to be friends with me, but girls like you have a way of getting under my skin. Girls like you are a whole other species.

Girls like you are mean. Girls like you choose to be friends with people weaker than them, so they can take what they want. Girls like you have to be the prettiest friend so they don’t ever have to feel insecure. Girls like you look down on other girls who don’t have what you have or can’t do what you can do. Girls like you make other girls feel like they are worthless, because you don’t give them the time of day. Girls like you only talk to people they believe can benefit them in some way. Girls like you are probably lonely inside.

So, no, it doesn’t bother me that you don’t want to be my friend, but it does. It doesn’t bother me that I won’t have to spend hours slaving over a birthday present for you that you will probably pretend to like, then throw in the back of your closet. It doesn’t bother me that I won’t have to listen to you try to boss me around because that’s just how you treat your friends. It doesn’t bother me that I don’t have to feel bad about myself because you need to feel good about yourself. It really does not bother me that you don’t want to be my friend.

It does bother me that you treat others this way. It does bother me that you have gotten away with verbally harassing your “friends” for years and nobody has told you a thing. It does bother me that you act like you’re better than me for any given reason that does not make you better than me. It does bother me that you wouldn’t want to be friends with me for something that has nothing to do with my personality. It does bother me that you don’t want to be my friend.

Your actions and reasoning bother me, but at the end of the day, what bothers me the most is your character.

I hope you realize how wrong you are. I hope you start treating your friends better. And I hope that you wake up.

Have a good life,

The Girl You Wouldn't Be Friends With

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.
