Poetry on Odyssey: To The "Best Friend" That I Once Knew

To the “best friend” that I once knew.
We grew up together since we were two.
I thought that we were going to be “best friends” for life,
but it seemed to be turned out into a lie.

To the “best friend” that I once knew.
We were the best of friends, me and you;
but now it all seems like its history.
Seems to me now that you’re living a brand new story.

To the “best friend” that I once told my whole life story.
You seem better off without me like I was just history.
Ever since you found someone new,
I was tossed out like, “it’s out with the old, and in with the new.”

To the “best friend” that is there no more.
You decide for yourself that we weren’t friends anymore.
Wished I knew what the reason why
why you pushed me away, leaving me to cry.

To the “best friend” that I thought that I could count on.
I was there by your side, even if I was wrong.
I was there all along, but you stopped being my friend.
You’re the one who decided it was time for it to end.

To the “best friend” that I stayed true to.
You’re the one that I always ran to.
Even when you got a broken heart.
I was there to help heal it when it kept falling apart.

To the “best friend” who thought I never cared.
I guess you never felt my pain when you left, and I was still there.
I never left you astray like you did to me.
I always wondered what happened to you and me.

To the “best friend” that left me astray.
I am by myself now, since the eighth grade.
Even though you still came to my “Sweet Sixteen”.
I will always wonder why you left me.

To the “best friend” that moved on without me.
I decided to move on as well, to where I ought to be.
When you found someone new,
I also found someone too.

To the “best friend” who knew all my past.
Here’s to good riddance, this word is my last.

Sincerely,
A “best friend” who was always there,
a “best friend” that always cared.

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.
