10 Ways You Know You've Found Your Best Friend
Lisa Perlman

At some point in your life, you find someone that you know you can't let go of. Whether it's when you're five or when you get to college, this person fills the empty hole you've been missing. A friend like this is hard to come by, so never let go when you find them. Here are ten signs that tell you you've found your other half...

1. You can be yourself:

No matter how weird or awkward you are this person embraces you for who you are. No moment is too weird or to quiet. You can juju on that beat with no problem or just sit in silence for hours.

2. You guys basically have twin telepathy:

You know that moment where you finish someone's sentence or say the same thing at once? Yeah, you experience that all the time. You know exactly what your friend is going to say and when.

3. You voluntarily tell each other your most embarrassing secrets:

From the time that you accidentally peed yourself to when you fell down the stairs in front of the whole school.

4. You trust them to not say anything, even if you don't say not to tell anyone:

You don't have to say, "promise not to tell anyone" because you know they won't say anything.

5. You're basically part of their family.

Your friend's family greets and treats you like you're always around. They yell and fight as if you weren't there. You might as well be with your own family.

6. You can give them your clothes and know you'll get it back.

It is so annoying when people come over and ask to borrow clothes because you know you're never getting them back, but with your best friend you know you'll have them washed, folded, and in your hands by Monday morning.

7. They know how you'll react to a certain situation:

No matter what it is that is being said or done, your best friend will know exactly how you'll react. That's why you always hear them say, "I knew you would do that" or "I knew you would like (or dislike) that". They're always ready to react the same way you do.

8. You can't go more than an hour without communicating:

Whether you're Snapchatting, texting, calling, face-timing, or liking each other's picture, whenever you're away from each other you're still together. Those three seconds you spend a part have to be spent together through the phone.

9. You can sit in silence for 5 minutes or more and not feel awkward once:

You can talk forever, but you can also be silent forever.

10. They're the only person that can tell you the truth, and you can't get hurt if it's mean:

If you ask for the truth they will tell you the truth, whether it hurts or not. Maybe you're having a bad hair day, have something in your teeth, or your attitude is just not the best, they will let you know. It's okay when they tell you, though, because they're not trying to be mean; they're trying to help you out. No one else is allowed to do this, though.

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.

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.
