For The Friends Who Pull Double Duty As Your Backbone In Life
Mikayla McCombs

I am forever grateful for the endless amounts of things you have done to keep me sane. Sometimes life gets the best of any of us, but there's never a day one of you won't listen to me. I'm difficult sometimes, and I take my frustration out on those close to me, but that never fails you from being a shoulder to cry on.

Friends come and go, but I'm confident that you are friends to stay. There is no group of people I have felt more comfortable to enclose my toughest times and biggest secrets to. Without judgment, or maybe a little judgment at my stupidity, you never fail to talk me through the situation and make me feel confident that life goes on. The things and stress I am dealing with are bearable. I can't let one bump in the road determine who I am, or how I perceive myself.

I can be hard to talk to, hard to get ahold of and sometimes I don't listen, but you still care, and for that, I am thankful. I can't begin to express how glad I am for the things you do for me. I am forever indebted to you. You are my rocks and my backbones. Most importantly, you are my people. I appreciate everything you do for me. I only hope that I can reciprocate the same amount of comfort to you because you deserve that.

People lose touch, and although we don't speak every day, I am confident that I could call you at any time, or any place with any situation I need. Just recently, I found myself lonely, and uncomfortable. I found any reason to avoid social situations, and I spent the majority of my time in my dorm watching Netflix or attempting to do homework. You came along and put a stop to that. You have picked me up from some of the darkest places I have ever seen myself. I continue to entrust that kind of faith in you because I know you'll always be someone to lean on. I know for many years from now, I can continue you to count on you for anything.

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.
