A Letter To The Best Friend I Can Never Thank Enough, 200 Miles Away

Even though you're 200 miles away, you'll always bee my person.

A Letter To The Best Friend I Can Never Thank Enough, 200 Miles Away
Morgan Lyle

Dear BFF, Bestie, the Blair to my Serena, the Leslie to my Ann, the future godmother to my children,

Where would I be without you?

I can't thank you enough for putting up with me, checking in with me, taking the time to FaceTime me to ask my opinion about your outfit and trusting me with your most cherished memories.

Now enough of that sappiness. First, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry we don't talk more often. I guess this is what having friends and being an adult is like. We both work all day. I call you, but you're working. You call me, but I'm working. It's hard and sometimes feels hopeless — like we will never speak again.

But here's the thing about you. I don't have to talk to you every day because when we do talk, it's like we never stopped. You laugh with me and cry with me. You tell me I'm worthy and beautiful even when I don't feel like I am. You encourage me and push me to be the best person I can be.

You are more than just my best friend. You're my sister. You're proof that time does not denote the strength of a friendship. That even 200 miles away, we can still call each other, both sitting in our cars after work, both crying, and talk until we are laughing again.

Once you graduate high school, having a best friend is hard. Sometimes I feel discouraged because I feel like I've messed up this whole "making friends in college" thing. But I've realized, it's because no one compares to you. You understand me like no one else does.

You also keep me accountable. You tell me when I've done something wrong or when I should have handled something differently. You aren't afraid to share your thoughts and feelings and neither am I because I know our friendship is unconditional.

I can't thank you enough for everything.

You've shown me that soulmates aren't limited to relationships. Friends can be soulmates, too.

Thank you for being my soul-sister.

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.
