An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Tidbits and Fiddlywinks

To my person,

First off let me say that you inspire me to be the best I can be. I will always wonder what I did to deserve someone as amazing as you. The busy lives we lead make it so we aren't the best at communicating, but when we do talk it's like we never left off. I want you to know how much I appreciate you in my life because I don't always get to tell you.

I've never had a friend who gets me like you do. I just love the fact that we never run out of things to say. I can tell you literally anything in the world and you just get me. You always seem to know things about my life before they even happen. Especially when it comes to boy stories (or literally anything else), it blows my mind to this day how brilliant your psychic ways are.

I hate not getting to see you whenever I want, oh I hate it so dearly. I wish we went to the same school so we could live together and make all these memories together. It takes a special kind of friendship to last a distance of thousands of miles. Let me tell you, not everyone is cut out for it. But it's super cool to see how we don't have to be in the same city or even state to stay besties, and when we do see each other our time together is so much more special. We're in different states tackling this whole adulthood thing and following our dreams together and I love getting to hear all about it. I hate the distance but I'm so darn proud of who we're becoming, our friendship stands the test of distance indeed.

I love that we have different opinions and that we can discuss them and respect each other. I love that we can share our ideas and plans for the future with each other all the time. I love that you love burgers and hate salads (whereas I love salad and hate burgers), and how we'll always share a love for coffee and ice cream. I love that we are navigating this thing called adulthood together and we'll always have each other's backs.

Thank you for being there for me, for listening to all my nonsense, and giving me your honest advice even when you know I won't like it. Thanks for keeping it real. You tell it like it is and that's one of the reasons I love you so much. Thank you for spontaneous FaceTime dates and dance parties, and for listening to my random conspiracies that come from out of nowhere. Thanks for sticking by my side no matter what, because I know my life can be a little dramatic sometimes. I have no idea how I would make it through life without you.I want you to know that I think you are amazing.

I really scored in the best friend department. Distance has got nothing on us.

Love,

Your person

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
