Thank you for dealing with me daily.

A Thank You Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Gwen Adams

Dear best friend,

After seven years of sending daily “I’m annoyed” texts, I don’t know how you deal with me. Even after seven years of receiving your daily “Dylan O’Brien is perfect” texts, I wouldn’t want to imagine life any other way. Not only am I thankful you're my best friend but, I’m thankful for Teen Wolf and O2L for bringing us together. Here’s to seven years and counting.

West Virginia and Florida are nearly a thousand miles apart. Thank you for waking me up to daily pictures of Florida sunrises. It’s honestly better than getting a good morning text.

Nothing makes me happier than you going on one of your Dylan O’Brien sprees. If you're not talking about Dylan, you're talking about Kelsea Ballerini. I wouldn’t want to listen to it from anyone else. We don’t have the same taste in music, TV, or movies except for a few things and that’s okay. Just because we don’t have the same taste doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be friends. We can both agree that the office is wonderful. On Wednesday’s, we text each other about Riverdale as we watch it. I am so thankful to have someone to talk to about my favorite things with even if you don't like them.

Also, your daily snaps of bunnies outside your house are nice to get, rather than “hey what’s up”. After all, your favorite animal is a bunny. I mean - who wouldn’t like getting pictures of cute bunnies?

The best part about you is that we both LOVE Boston. We both love the New England Patriots. Having a best friend who loves the same teams as me is honestly a blessing because no matter the day, we can ALWAYS talk about our boys together and never disagree. Plus, it’s nice having someone by my side when I'm getting trashed talked about liking the best team. And we can both agree Julian Edelman is the best-looking player.

Another reason why I’m so thankful for you is that whenever I’m having a bad day, I know you are always there to listen to me. I know I can always count on you. I can trust you with anything and everything. Whenever I need advice, you are my go-to person. You always say, “I’m not the best person to ask but”, and then give me exactly what I needed to hear. Thank you for always knowing what to say and when to say it.

I’m so thankful for our friendship. We don’t fight but, we don’t always agree, but I know that you are the best best friend anyone could ever ask for.

Thank you for always knowing what to say, for always listening to me rant, for always listening to my boy drama even friend drama, for listening to me in general, for the daily sunrises, and for everything. I’m so lucky to call you my best friend. I wouldn’t want anyone else to be my best friend. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Thank you.

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.
