To My Best Friends at College

" ...you two were there to pick me up, dust me off, and encourage me to keep going".


Dear Sam and Unique,


There are so many things that I want to say to both of you, but it would take me forever to write them all! So let me start off by saying this: I am so incredibly grateful that you two are a part of my life. Before I came to college, I was so worried about making new friends and fitting in with the crowd. I would soon realize that making friends was the least of my worries. Whenever school got really tough and threw me under the bus, you two were there to pick me up, dust me off, and encourage me to keep going. You two are always willingly ready to listen to my problems or to back me up when I need a major confidence booster. You two remind me that it's completely ok to not be ok. Whenever I am having self-doubt about writing an F.Y.S paper or I feel that I am not good enough to accomplish my goals, your reassuring smiles and positive attitudes always make my day one hundred percent brighter. You girls make me feel like I am so beautiful and have taught me to always love myself unconditionally. Never once have you two made me feel like I "can't do it" or that I'm "not beautiful". My hope for both of you is that you always remain strong in your faith. Never let other define who you are. Be yourselves! Never be afraid to stand up for what you believe in. I have no doubt that one day, you girls are going to accomplish great things. As our next few years of college continue, never forget your worth, strengths, and to remain faithful. I love you both! Never forget that!


Love,

Your Sassy, Sparkly Princess <3

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.

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.
