Some Friendships Belong In The Past
Kelsey Higgins

As A three time transfer student, I understand the necessity of ever changing friendships. I am aware of the colossal heartbreak that leaving your friends in one place to start a new life has and am also aware of the fact that sometimes those great friends, just aren’t that great. The good part about this is that Someday we will all wake up and understand why situations happened, why people changed, why someone dumped us and why we ended up where we are now. But I know in the moment that the giving up happens, you wait for the other shoe to drop. Sometimes people are just gone and you wake up one day wondering what changed? Why did this person decide to walk out of my life? And you know what I finally decided, if someone gets up and walks away, show them the door.

1.If you try to force anyone to be in love with you or even in like with you no matter what is going to end badly. If someone didn’t have those feelings before, they probably will resent you for trying to force them.

2.When a person walks out of your life, that Is a decision they made. Let them walk and you’ll thank yourself for not running after them, good luck to them and the next friend they do that do.

3.Do you really need friends who are unpredictable? Who will one day need your advice, or even emotionally drain you from their constant need for emotional support and the next decide they don’t need you at all.

4.The day you wake up and realize that you’re strong enough on your own and without fake friendships fake relationships and negative people is a GREAT day.

5.One day you will have the life that you strived so hard to get, and those people who left you behind will need something from you, want to catch up, or want forgiveness, and you should do just that. Because being the bigger person is an amazing feeling, help people who have hurt you simply because you know you would never stoop to their level.

Basically, go life a great life, and you will attract the people you’re meant to have in it, don’t wallow on the relationships you have lost. Cherish those who have stayed loyal and true and hope to find more friends like that. Dwelling on what people should have and could have done is just that, dwelling, move forward and find better greater things in your own future.

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.
