True Friends Are Found When You Are Truly Broken
Sara Radabaugh


Everyone has hit that low point in their life. It's a point where you feel the most isolated and sometimes unlovable. You so badly desire a person to be close to you again, somebody to tell you that it's going to be okay. You desire for someone to have your back more than ever. It's in the moment of weakness that you realize the person is right in front of you. In fact, they are right around the corner from you.


Little did I know that when I met you at 18, you would play such a major role in my life. Throughout college, we were the same major and even graduated within months of each other. We have a lot in common. In fact, we are the exact same MBTI personalities. I think we have always been more closely tied to each other then we are willing to admit. You see, life has not only thrown punches at me, but they have been tossed your way too.


It's interesting how we are very much alike. Literally, it's like we were a match made in our own little kitty obsessed heaven. Life always has an interesting turn though. I didn't see the true value in our friendship until I welcomed the low point in my life. My reality as I knew it was dissolving and I felt isolated. You happened to move back into town at the most perfect moment. I like to think of you as my saving grace.


At the moment that I was most weak, you took me into your home. You saw that I needed to be nurtured and you were willing to open your arms. To be honest, I just needed a simple hug. It's funny how you spend so many years with someone, but you don't feel close to them until you are the furthest away. You moving back to town and being my roommate has been glorious.
Once I saw your sweet dance moves and your Disney obsessed ways, I knew I needed to snatch you up. Girl! I am so glad that we walked into each other's lives.

I'm so grateful that you've held some tears, but I'm even more grateful that you let me eat Oreos for breakfast when life sucked. You are the best mermaid ever. When the sun sets, the night is always full of laughter. I'll miss you budging into my room and going through my closet trying everything on possible. You are my own personal entertainer. Don't even get me started on tucking you in. We are two young cat ladies who happen to be enjoying their best lives together.

Thanks for keeping me safe and giving me time to get back on my feet. This summer was the perfect medicine and I'm so glad that you were with me every step of the way. Since I couldn't bear the thought of being more than five minutes away from you, I thought I would just sign a lease next door. You're going to be one great neighbor and I can't wait to have more memories with you. I hope that everyone finds their saving grace like I found 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.
