This one's for you.

I’ll be there for you and you’re there for me too. Or that’s how they say it supposed to be.

This one's for the friends who drift, the amigos who falter and the companions who claimed they’d never leave our side.

This is an anthem to the promises glued together with the paste of their lies. The friendships that are like stick-on earrings... there for a few days but then peel off slowly and drift away when you fall asleep.

This one's for you. The barrel of monkeys that cling to us like bananas off a bush. The friends who were there when it benefited them and left us hanging when We needed them the most. The friends who said they’d be there yet left us walking around with our eyes blindfolded while they clasped hands with the next shiny toy they now call their best friend.

This one's for you.

You, the one night friend. The one who’s there when they need something from us but are a ghost and impossible to seek in broad daylight when we need a shoulder to cry on.

This is for the friends of today who made promises left in the land of yesterday. The friends who came and left and never looked back.

This is for the friends who claimed they’d be like family.

This is for the friends, the foes and the fistful of forevers.

But most importantly this is for the believers. The ones who imagine better beginnings and want to write novels while others scrawl out novellas.

This is for me. For you. For us all.

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.
