To My Northern Homie

You're one in a million

Personal
Molly Riseman

Whenever you start work in high school, you think you're the coolest person in the world, you go and pick up your workers permit from your school and get hired. I was hired at our local ice cream place called, Kimball Farm. The place that I didn't realize at the time was going to give me one of the most amazing long-distance best friends. I worked at Kimball's for about three years.

When Sarah and I started, our job was to wipe tables outside and then we eventually "moved up" to scooping ice cream.

I moved to South Carolina almost three years ago, and Sarah and I joke that we took advantage of our friendship at the time and should've hung out more, now that I have moved, we've grown so much closer than I would've imagined. She's the person I call on my walk home from class, when I need someone to cry to, when I can't make a decision on what to do/eat, and even when I'm just plain old bored.

You're the person I never get annoyed with, or mad at; I don't think we've ever actually gotten into a fight. It's crazy when you move far away from your friends, it either makes or breaks your relationship- and thank god, it made ours.

It's been two years since I've seen you and our relationship is the strongest it's ever been.

You've always been so supportive of me with almost everything I do. It's nice to have someone you can rely on so you can complain to each other about all of your problems; everyone always needs one of those people. Thanks for being a top-notch best friend, and for letting me live vicariously through you in the North while it snows when I'm stuck with 90-degree humidity. You're one in a million; I 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.
