A Letter To 'My Person'

Meredith needed Cristina, and I need you.

A Letter To 'My Person'
Gina Capone

I see articles all the time about girls who have a best friend that they do everything with. They have sleepovers almost every night, they are always together, and they call each other family.

We all need friends like that, but our friendship is different. You're my best friend because you simply get me. We may not hang out every day or FaceTime every time something happens, but at the end of the day, I know I have you.

You're the friend that I know can last a lifetime. You are someone I can tell absolutely anything to without feeling judged. When I'm sad, you're the first person I tell, and when I'm angry, you're always the person who keeps me grounded.

You're my best friend because you remind me that there are always better days and that the world is a good place.

You're the friend I can get coffee and do homework with. You're the friend I never feel slighted by. You genuinely care about why I'm happy or why I'm completely stressed out. You never make me feel like I'm a burden.

Even when you were at college thousands of miles away, I don't think we ever went a day without talking. Our friendships aren't a typical best friend relationship, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. You've been there for me through every heartbreak, every ugly funny picture I ever sent you, and endless long runs venting about life.

Even though we don't see each other much, there's no one else I'd rather have to have my back. I'm unbelievably thankful for you sticking by my side, even through the hideous middle school years that we know were so rough!

I can't wait for all our new memories together and to tell old stories when we're 40 having cocktails and eating way too many nachos... Because I know nothing will change by then.

I know, one day, we will look back and laugh about all the things that made us sad and still smile at all the good times we had together. You're the bestest friend a girl could ever ask for. I'm happy I was lucky enough to grow up down the street from you because, without you, life wouldn't be nearly as great.

So, thank you for being you, and please don't ever change.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
