Dear Ex Best Friend,

I can't believe I'm having to write this, we were supposed to be friends forever, but I guess when a boyfriend comes into the picture, it changes everything. You and I were more than just best friends, we were sisters- an unbreakable bond, or so I thought. We did everything together and told each other everything, You were my person, you were the one person I counted on for everything, but over the past few years, you've changed. I've been wanting to end it with you for the longest, because as the years went on, whether or not you believe me, your attitude towards me totally sucked, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it, because I didn't want to hurt you.

You were constantly yelling and screaming at me for no real reason at all, especially when you were dating your first boyfriend, and you'd be so cruel and hateful. You'd reduce me to tears, and that's NOT something a true friend would do. You'd get mad at me if I didn't understand something you were trying to tell me and politely asked you to explain it differently, not understanding things sometimes is no fault of my own, and if you were really my true friend, you would've understood that. Me having a disability also put a strain on our friendship, there were times when you made me feel bad just because I can't do things you can. Every time I'd get into a relationship, I felt like you'd give me fake support, because every time it wouldn't work out, you'd tell me I wasn't mature enough for a relationship.It may have been true, but if you were really my best friend, you wouldn't have said that.

After my grandmother passed away, I began to feel like you were jealous, because when I'd tell you about trips I'd be going on, because, at the time, I told you everything, you'd make comments which indicated to me your jealousy, you were only jealous because you hardly ever get to go on vacation, and when I got to go, you couldn't stand it. Need I remind you what you said when I told you I was going to Disney?

You've definitely changed, you're NOT the person I met so many years ago. You think I'm being mean to you when actually I'm being truthful. Some people just can't handle the truth and I firmly believe that's where our problems arose.

Your current boyfriend has changed you for the worse, and no, I'm NOT jealous. I miss the person you were before you got with him. You shouldn't have to change just to get a guy to like you, if he's the one, he'll like you for you. I hope one day you'll wake up and realize what you're missing out.

It's your loss, not mine.

Your Ex 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.
