Writers are, without a doubt, a special group of people. They will never miss a moment to talk all about their current projects or what they are reading for inspiration. Additionally, writers are more effective communicators because they want to relay their thoughts as detailed as possible to avoid issues and assumptions.

Those who write are constantly thinking of creative ways to implement their passion for words into different aspects of life. Friends of writers definitely notice this because they are usually the recipients of the novel creations. Here are 16 instances you can relate to if your friend is a writer:

1. You have a great source advising you on what to read next

2. You always have somebody ready to proof-read your papers

3. When you can't think of a paper topic, they've got one for you

And in pretty much no time.

4. Your birthday card never merely says, "Happy birthday!"

5. You still receive 'that' one holiday card in the mail

It's something you actually look forward to.

6. You are always sent the most thorough thank you cards

7. Let's be real, there's a card for everything and you have a unique collection of them all

Opening your mailbox is actually exciting!

8. Their text messages always exhibit proper grammar and punctuation

9. If you ever send a typo, you send a correction ASAP

Don't want them thinking you're stupid, right?

10. They ask you to read over their writing

It is actually fun to see what your friend has been working on.

11. It's a whole different level when they ask you for "honest critique"

Why, why, why is my friend asking me to critique their writing?!

12. You have had a piece dedicated to you

You read your dedication piece while holding back tears because of the positively powerful description of your friendship and also secretly hoping the piece that involves you goes viral.

13. You are always the first to share and like your friend's posts on social media

Supporting all of your writing friend's latest and greatest is imperative.

14. Whenever you have to write something meaningful to them, you doubt your abilities because you're not a writer

How can their writing flow so well, and mine sounds like I didn't put any effort in at all? Oh well, they will love my attempt to compose something; after all, writers love words, right?

15. If they write an emotionally negative piece, you worry that you were the inspiration for that

Should I ask or...

16. When they ask for your opinion about plot or character development, you feel honored

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.

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.
