Thank You To My Better Half
Candace Jones

I met you two years ago. I looked at your big blue eyes and instantly knew I was going to be with you, I just didn't know when. I went through that year appreciating your friendship more than anything in the world. You were kind, generous, and patient. I can't even fathom the thought of how patient you were with me. Everyone else thought you should've given up on me, but you didn't. You stuck it out — told them, "No, she's the one."

I'm not the type of person to rush into things. I like taking my time, even if it's painful.

I knew we both needed to grow more as people — as independent individuals. Not that we're completely mature at the moment but better than we were a year and a half ago.

Now, you're still patient. You're still generous. You're still kind. You have hope in our future together. I'm glad to say that I do, too.

No matter how many times my stubborn head gets in the way, you seem to find a hole to get to my senses and fix everything. There are times when we bump heads. Eventually, we figure it out. It's not perfect, but I wouldn't want to do it with anybody else.

I've never laughed so hard in my entire laugh as when I'm with you. I laugh so hard that air comes out of my mouth and I can't breathe for a few seconds — it's the best moment in the world. It's pure bliss with you. I've never cried so hard in my life, but only when I'm with you, because you've made me so vulnerable. I trust you so much with my life that I put you on my insurance.

I'm not the most perfect person in the world, but I believe we're gonna make a great team someday. This was just a little thank you for being a part of my life. I couldn't imagine doing this life with anyone else but you, Antigone.

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.
