5 Stages Of A Long-Distance Best Friend Reunion

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, but so does champagne nights with your BFF.

1. The week-long back and forth text messaging.

The week prior to finally seeing your BFF is mostly composed of back and forward texts gushing about all the fun things you are going to do together, down to the specific days and time slots. Despite still going about your normal school and/or work routine, you somehow find the time to deliberate genre on Netflix you will be watching and the type of champagne to accompany with it.


2. The hot gossip, cool jams, or report of current life events.

After the magic has resided, the dramatized squealing and hugging has faded, and the reunion Snap stories have been loaded comes the serious stuff. In the words of Regina George’s mom, “What is up? What's the 411? What has everybody been up to? What's the hot gossip? Tell me everything.” We want to know our whole best friend’s narrative in its entirety from the moment we last saw them. It's not just about them though, we also want to get our chance to tell them about our academic endeavors and not to mention the cute boy in our Anthro class, who may or may not know we exist.

3. Spending far too much money on food and drinks.

It isn’t often that your best friend and you get to see each other, so let’s blow a nice portion of our paycheck on lunch, am I right? But before that happens comes the challenging predicament on deciding where to eat. HA! Good luck with that. R.I.P. one hour of my life.

4. The much needed BFF nap.

Once all those bottomless mimosas and truffle fries have settled in, then comes the imminent cloud of drowsiness. You and your best friend don’t want to admit defeat, so you lie to each other and suggest a Netflix marathon. Perhaps a pensive psychological thriller? 15 minutes in and you both are knocked out, sleeping/cuddling away the potential bubbly hangover. Kudos if you win the little spoon spot.

5. The (sad face) departure.

After an amazing week or weekend with your best friend, you hug their relatives goodbye, because at this point, you’ve become a vital member of their family. The long melodramatic Instagram posts are queued to be posted, but not before you get in a final drawn-out hug with your BFF. It will be a while until you see them, and Skype and Snapchat just do not do it justice. So you hug them goodbye, take the joy from your reunion, and try to carry it until you see their beautiful face next.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
