To The Person That Didn't Make It To This Chapter

This letter is for anyone that came into my life, and didn't quite make it to the next chapter...

~ I want to thank you for making me a better person in some ways. I want to thank you for always making me laugh and telling me jokes. I'll forever cherish all of our memories, good and bad, our beautiful days, and our ugly days. You will forever have a piece of me, and I, you.~

At one point in time you were my best friend. You were the one that I told everything too; from the weird looks someone gave to me, or the serious stuff like when I found out I was moving away. We did everything together. We were inseparable and obnoxiously annoying to others, what could be better?

But, along with our good times, came our bad times. The times we fought, and didn't talk for days. When everything became about you, rather than asking how I was.

It turned into a one sided friendship that I could no longer be apart of.

I grew out of my old skin and into someone who has grown up, physically and mentally. I will not just let people walk all over me like a doormat, when after all this time I've been the one holding the door open for them. For awhile I didn't know that I could let the door go, and keep moving forward. I just continued to hold the door open for people who didn't even deserve it.

I stood there with that door open for years and not once did I ever receive a thank you, or any appreciation. You walked right through that door and trashed everything. You made me realize that not everyone is good, and kind hearted. You made me realize that I don't need people who don't need me, someone that appreciates me and my friendship.

So, it's okay that you didn't make it to this chapter in my life. You've already made this chapter better, by not being in it. This chapter is everything it's supposed to be because your time in my life ran short. You taught me how to improve in the future and you taught me how to be even kinder than before. So, thank you for that.

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.
