Dear Friend,

When we first met, I thought that my life was great, and I honestly thought you didn’t really like me when we first met. You seemed shy, and I don’t do well with shy people, I tend to be too much for them. We barely spoke the first time our groups of friends hung out, and that was ok.

A few weeks went by, you and I finally had an actual conversation that was away from the world. We both laughed at when we first met because I thought you didn’t like me, and you thought I didn’t like you. Turns out it was just a miscommunication, and I’m glad that in that moment I truly got to know you.

I thought I had all the best friends I needed in my life, but I was proven wrong. You are this free spirit, with zero cares in the world, and I wish that I could be more like that. I always thought I was that kind of person but when it came to proving it I would shy away. You have brought me more out of my shell then I ever thought could be possible!

I had no idea that I needed someone like you in my life.

You aren’t the friend that I call to gossip with, you aren’t the girl I call to complain or give excuses to... You’re someone I call to talk about my experiences in life and discuss what I am going to do next. You let me bounce all my wild ideas off of you and you tell me if I’m actually crazy or not. You’re someone that I live in the moment with and don’t care about anything or anyone. I never think about the what ifs when we are together and it’s my piece of freedom in life.

I have amazing best friends and I never thought that I needed one more.

The universe knew exactly what it was doing when it decided that we needed to be friends. It’s been four months since we met and I couldn’t imagine not having you by my side. You bring out this free spirit in me that I was always scared to reveal because I was insecure about myself. Seeing you be so free and have zero cares in the world, with borderline zero drama in your life has been exactly what I needed.

There is never such thing as too many friends in life, but I like to keep my close people limited and I’m so glad that you’re in my close circle of friends that I call family. If someone would’ve told me that we would be this close now from the first time we met, I would’ve told them that they were CRAZY and don’t know what they’re talking about.

Now we’re here and I can’t imagine not having you as a best friend! Thanks for being the friend I thought I never needed, and the friend I didn’t think I could find, you’re the best and I don’t know how to thank you for helping me in ways you can’t imagine.

Thank you, see you soon!

Sincerely,

Just One Piece of the Package

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.
