Dear Marissa,

You and I have quite an amazing history. I still remember when we first met. In middle school, you were in 8th grade and I was in 7th. I met you through a mutual friend. My first impression of you was that you were very nice. I later found out you were in choir just like me. So, I saw a lot of you during that time. During this time, we were not exactly best friends, just friends. There was still a lot we did not know about each other. But, overall, you were one of the nicest people I ever met.

High School

In high school, we met again. I was just starting high school. I would see you more times than I did in middle school. You had a locker next to my morning class and I would always see you then. Only thing is, we were still not as close. I wanted us to be good friends, but you were busy and I did not understand what true friendship was back then. In fact, it took us a while for us really know each other. Despite knowing little about each other, you were always very kind and honest, which means a lot considering that it is hard to find good people these days. During sophomore year, we barely talked to each other. We would see each other in the halls and say hi, but that was it. During my high school years, I was not a very social person. I only talked to few people. Then, junior year came. I just joined choir again after realizing how much I enjoy singing. It was at this point I got to know you better. You were dating a friend of mine and through him, I talked with you a lot. Getting to know you was awesome. I realized we have a fair amount in common. And from there, our friendship slowly grew into one of good conversations and support. When you graduated, I was sad to possibly never see you again, but proud of you for pursuing your goals. But even after you graduated, we were still texting and calling each other. I was able to come to you for advice. Sometimes, we would run into each other during certain events.

College

Me and you went to different colleges, but we still were there for each other. During the three years I've spent in college, I realized I was very shy, anti-social, and unconfident in who I was. Overall, I never found myself. Sometimes, I would feel really sad and want to quit what I was doing in college. But, through these trials and obstacles, you were there for me no matter what. You were always busy doing your own thing in college, but, you would still take time to get back to me and help me get through hard days. Even to this day, you always try to be there for me. If it wasn't for your support and care, I would've had a more difficult time getting to where I am now. Right now, I'm very confident in who I am and I look at life from a more positive viewpoint. But, even though I feel like I can take the world, I will always be your friend and try to be there for you as you were for me. The part that really sticks out to me is that, from the moment we met up to now, you always saw good in me. You always tried to make me feel like I was worth something even when I felt like I wasn't. You never lost hope for me. Instead, you made it grow stronger. I can't thank you enough for that. That is why you will always be my best friend.

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.
