Something To Remember You By

I've heard a rumor that heartbreak makes you write sh*tty poetry.

Something To Remember You By
Samantha Barreras

I still have the scar on my arm from when I burned myself after We decided to make cornbread from scratch.

When it happened I thought,

At least I’ll always have something to remember him by.

The t-shirt you gave me when you asked me to be your girlfriend Hasn’t been worn since the day you decided I should stop being your girlfriend.

When you gave it to me I thought

At least I’ll always have something to remember him by.

I’ve never seen the movie Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,But I get the gist.

Having these things to remember you by doesn’t make a spotless Mind seem so terrible.

I was never much of a movie person.

You always picked the best ones.

I don’t really know what love is.

It’s not something you can measure empirically.

I’ve heard that love makes you write shitty poetry.

Not sure that can be measured empirically either,

But as far as shitty poetry goes, this sounds about right.

I miss you I guess.

By I guess I mean a lot.

I hope you’re doing well.

I mostly hope you miss me as much as I miss you.

That’s a long shot.

It’s getting easier.

It’s getting easier to pretend that it’s getting easier.

It hasn’t really stopped hurting

But at least I’ll always have something to remember you by.

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.
