10 Things That Perfectly Describe College Friendships

College is crazy. College is fun, but to the people who know me best throughout this hectic times, here are 10 things that I want to say.

1. Sorry about the lack of communication.

Honestly, this one is probably the most important because I love you guys, but I seriously have no time. And by no time I mean I either work or am at school. If I'm not doing either I'm probably napping instead of doing homework. Oops.

2. We made some pretty bad decisions, but they were good memories.

It's college, and we're all a little bad at making the best decisions, but I can say that staying up until 4 a.m. the day before an exam having a little too much fun is really bad. And by really bad I mean the exam was at 9 a.m. and I worked afterwards and no amount of coffee could save my soul. Don't do it. Ever.

3. Yes, I will get you coffee, but don't abuse my discount.

How many times did we make trips to Starbucks just to function? I mean, coffee is great, but I think I spent half of my lifesavings just to feed my Starbucks addiction with you. And I work there.

4. I really appreciate the whole "if you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" philosophy we followed.

Oh, don't feel like going to biology today? No problem! Don't understand that Spanish or political mumbo jumbo? Girl, I got you. Once you get to college, you'll start to appreciate your friends more and more not only because they're probably just as sassy and funny as you, but because they actually help you.

5. We learned so much about each other that I think we know each other better than we know ourselves.

Let's just say that with late nights comes over-sharing. Yes, I know about how you couldn't breathe when you saw that kitten six years ago and that you're allergic to bath bombs. Yes, I can tell you about all of your exes and even what day of the week you usually wear what. It happens. Get over it.

6. We have some of the best style around.

We all had our days when we just showed up to school and didn't care. Maybe slept in too long after a late night or just didn't care because we didn't study, but dang our style was great. Thanks for helping me achieve my optimum cuteness level.

7. A bond formed over mutual distaste for someone is the strongest around.

All of the gossiping that was had over roommates, gross guys, and crazy professors really was the icing on the cake for the unbreakable love we share.

8. Guys were second nature. So was our advice.

Both of us have had our fair share of heartbreaks last year, and we definitely weren't strangers to creepy guys trying to Netflix and chill. Even though some of the advice we gave was unorthodox, the one giving it was always right. And it usually turned us super narcissistic for a while, kind of like this gif below.

9. If there was a day that we didn't hike or hammock, then one of us was dying.

You know, we definitely take advantage of the fact that we go to school in the Upper Peninsula. Our spontaneous hikes down waterfalls, up mountains, and around weird lakes in the middle of the night just proved our trust. Sorry about always yelling bear when we were alone together in the woods at night. But I'm not that sorry, it was pretty funny.

10. Honestly, I love you. We're basically each other in a different gender.

Thanks for putting up with all of my sassy remarks, cold shoulders, and emotional breakdowns. It's only been freshman year, so you'll have to put up with me for the next few years, but I'll pay you back in coffee? Also, good luck, Sarah! Proud of you for going into the military!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
