50 'Thank-Yous' For The Friend I'd Die Without

Emily Beltran

I'm sure to some people, we seem like the most unlikely friends. Heck, I don't know how it's possible to be so different, yet so the same all at once.

You take 15 minutes to get ready, I take two hours; you hate being the center of attention, I love a good spotlight; you're the left brain, I'm the right — But all that is what makes our friendship work so well.

If we could star as the main characters from any Disney Channel Original Movie, it would without a doubt be "Twitches" because you're truly the Alex to my Camryn.

Thank you for being you and for being my best friend, and thank you for...

1. Seeing me at my very worst and still loving me.

2. Being down for any and everything.

3. Making me laugh so hard my stomach hurts.

4. Being a part of every story worth telling.

Emily Beltran

5. Driving me absolutely everywhere for two years.

6. Driving my car when I don't feel like driving.

7. Telling me that everything's going to be okay and not leaving me until it is.

9. Spending hours helping me with my math homework.

10. Sticking by my side even when I'm being moody.

16. Making going nothing fun.

17. Coming to my appointments.

18. Always spilling the tea because you know I love to hear it.

Emily Beltran

19. Giving me the credit I deserve.

20. Never being mad at me.

21. Googling every question I ask.

22. Knowing when to listen.

23. Thinking I'm as funny as I think I am.

24. Telling me when I'm wrong.

25. Knowing my idea is crazy but still doing it with me anyway.

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.

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.
