To The Girl Across The Room

I pray that one day I'll get to know you.

To The Girl Across The Room

Hey,

So, you probably don't me. You may have seen me around campus but I'm currently a nobody to you. I haven't been able to muster up the courage to have a real conversation with you other than the typical "good mornings" and "how are you doing's". You may not know this but those small interactions are extremely important to me. As chill as I may act when I'm around you, I'm secretly yearning for any chance to get to know you more. We have ONE class together, which means that these 50 minutes are VERY important to me.

I understand if this is super lame, but I can't even seem to just be your FRIEND. It's not that I'm madly in love with you, I just don't want to do anything stupid. So, accordingly, I'm going to take my time. Rather than asking you out to get coffee or to even just have a simple conversation, I'm just going to keep waiting, because in my eyes, you are too special to mess up even though I barely know you. I just love the idea of loving you.

I catch myself looking at you constantly. I promise it's not as weird as it sounds. There is just something about you that's different than anyone else I know. To not be corny anymore I want to say one more thing. You may or may not be the person I end up marrying. More than likely you aren't, but, given the chance, I would like to take you out. I would like to be your friend and would like to ask you what your favorite music genre is or what's your favorite ice cream. I just want to be able to know who you are. I know I'm overthinking it, but that's just because I really don't want to screw this up.

So to that girl across the room, I pray that one day, I'll muster up the courage to get to know you.

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.
