FaceTime Dates, crying, hugging, and giggles are kind of your thing.

13 Things That Are True When Your Best Friends Live Out Of State
Jess Eddmeiri

1. You send random texts to them throughout the day when you see something that reminds you of them. I usually send things to mine when usually something to do with literary jokes, anything to do with Tinder, dogs, Cosmo or pizza.

2. FaceTime Dates are bae. They have to include chicken wings from the local Pizza Hut and drunken stupor, along with the occasional text to the stupid boy that hurt your feelings; mind you that the text was and is constructed with the help of your best friend.

3. You feel kind of alone when they leave. Your go-to person/only friend in class is officially gone, aka you have to make friends, which is the worst.

4. Keeping in touch is hard, as schedules get busier, and you become more focused on you. School is hard to juggle with work and a social life.

5. You don't have anyone to go out with anymore. Please come home and tell me what looks okay for parties and what doesn't. Also, just come home and go out with me/hang out with me.

6. You can't gossip about the people that you both hate anymore, while you do homework in the library, for hours on end. Because your best friend is, unfortunately, probably not keeping up with the latest gossip on your campus, but hopefully they'll pretend like they know what you're talking about. Also, they aren't there anymore to do homework with you...

7. You forget that they live out of state. You have days where you want to text them and hang out, but you can't. No more sushi dates, random hangouts, museum dates, or being able to text, "lunch?" or go on a "coffee date?" with your favorite friend because they're gone.

8. Your Snapchat BFFs are more than likely them. Because how else are you going to communicate, other than through ugly Snapchats and heavily filtered selfies, and on occasions pictures from Cosmo, that describe you or tell them their horoscope.

9. You have no one to watch your show with. Seriously, I can't freak out about "Hell on Wheels", "Death Note" or "Orange is the New Black" with anyone.

10. When you guys are reunited, it's like a scene from the movies. Running, crying, giggling, jumping on top literally everything.

11. Sometimes when you can't get a hold of each other, you feel a little frustrated. Because you're used to your person being there 24/7 and not being busy.

12. You miss getting called out on your bullshit. Because you already know, they did that for you and most people don't have the guts to do that to you.

13. At the end of the day, though, you guys are still BFFS because he/she is your person (or, they're your people). Shout out to the three nerds (Siraaj, Leslie and Jess) who keep me sane and deal with my bull!! Love 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.
