To My Kindred Spirits

To all of my kindred spirits, near and far, this is for you.

To My Kindred Spirits
Beobatcher

Many people believe that people, places, and things contain an internal energy which resonates at a given frequency. This energy can be felt by others; it can draw people close or push people away depending on the frequency overlay. Building on this, many people believe that a kindred spirit is something which contains an internal energy resonating at the same frequency as our own energy does; it is something that we encounter and just seem to click with. It is the person you can never seem to pinpoint exactly when you became friends, you just all of the sudden were. It is the pet who knows exactly how you are feeling, no matter the feeling. It is the place you seek out when you need a break from the crazy world you live in, a place where peace is all you can feel. A kindred spirit is something you simply harmonize with. We all have many in our lives, and today I want to write to mine.

To my kindred spirits, the ones who understand me the most, in both the slightest and the most complicated of ways. To the ones who came into my life for a short time, and to the ones who stayed quite a bit longer. To the ones who encouraged me, and to the ones who may have brought me down just because you knew how, this one is for you.

There are a few things I want you to know. I want you to know that every time I think about us, about our friendship or our relationship, I am simply consumed with shock and awe. Shock that I was lucky enough to meet you at just the right time in my life, and awe because it was, and still is, effortless. I want you to know that your ability to understand has propelled me through the toughest times in my life, and for that I am forever grateful. I want you to know that your happiness is my happiness, and weather we are right next to each other or hundreds of miles apart, I will always feel that happiness with you. And I want you to know that I carry a part of you wherever I go, simply because you’ve become such a crucial part of my life.

There are also a few things I want to thank you for. I want to thank you for always pushing me to be better, because you knew there was better out there for me. I want to thank you for checking in on me, for caring about how I was doing, even when you were having a hard time too. I want to thank you for letting me make my mistakes, because sometimes you just have to let someone mess up for them to finally learn. I want to thank you for being willing to ditch everything at the drop of a hat (or the ring of a phone) if I ever asked for it. And I want to thank you for the laughs, the tears, and everything in between, because they are the memories I cherish the most.

Finally, there are a few things I want you to remember. Even if we drift apart, I want you to remember that I will always have a phone you can call and an ear you can talk to. I want you to remember that no matter how old we grow, I will always keep a goofy picture of us around, simply to have a goofy story to tell to whoever is willing to listen. I want you to remember that in every moment our energy is still on the same wavelength, and it will always stay that way. I want you to remember that, just like we came into each other’s lives, you will have other kindred spirits enter yours; and I want you to remember to cherish them like we cherish each other.

There are so many things I want to write to you, but I have a feeling you probably know it all already; because after all, we are kindred spirits.

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.
