To the Friend Who Hasn't Heard "Thank You" Enough,

You are the one who always has a smile on their face, the one who always has their arms wide open when someone seeks comfort, the one who is willing to move mountains for the people they care about. You are bright and compassionate—a quality that is desired by many but attained by only a few. Everyone around you is naturally drawn to your kind spirit. So many people rely on you to get them through whatever challenges they may be facing.

As much as we appreciate all you do, we somehow seem to get caught up in our own issues and don't tell you what you mean to us. And even if we do remember to say thank you after a heart to heart, a laugh or a hug, it's really not enough.

So, thank you for...

Accepting me as I am.

No matter how much my mascara runs or how out of perspective my opinion is, you never blame me. Thank you for letting me share my twisted point of view free of criticism and judgement.

Being available 24/7.

Whether it's 1:00 a.m. on a Thursday night or 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning, you're always there. It still amazes me how many texts you've sent me saying "I'll be right over". Thanks for being close, no matter how far apart we physically are.

Making me laugh.

Your bright spirit and smile light up a room instantly, which I am forever grateful for. You know how to bring humor into any situation and make the toughest times a little more bearable. So, thank you for all of the uncontrollable belly laughs.

Speaking the truth.

All of my questionable decisions have been completely shut down because of you. Thank you for looking out for me and telling it like it is.

Being a good listener.

Sometimes I wonder how you put up with me. I can go on for hours complaining about everything under the sun, while you sit there patiently and nodding along. Thanks for hearing me out for the big things, and being so patient when I ramble on about the little things.

Loving me, always.

People worry when they don't see the two of us together. We are practically inseperable, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Thousands of amazing, funny, and even horrific memories come to mind when I think of you. So thank you for being the most amazing friend, supporting me through it all, laughing through life with me, and loving me unconditionally.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
