To My Best Friend In High School

It sucks that I'm away at college while you're living your senior lasts

To My Best Friend In High School
Julie Myers

Hey Bestie,

To start things off, I’ll state the obvious. I miss you more than I can describe. Throughout my senior year, you were by my side-- as I did my speech, as I walked across the stage, as I had my graduation party. You helped me celebrate my 18th, and you helped me through all the lasts that seemed to hit me hardest.

Even before senior year, you were there through it all. You came to all my games, supported all my aspirations, and celebrated with me when I got my acceptance letters. I can’t express how thankful I am for all that you did for me and all the times you continued to help me towards the future when I felt like sitting down. I’m thankful for all the times you gave me an always listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.

These memories that bring me the most joy also bring me a sense of hurt. I hate that I can’t be with you in the flesh for all your lasts. I hate that I can no longer drive five minutes up the road when one of us is having a bad day or just because we always wanted to hang out.

I hate that your lasts are hitting you in the heart, but I’m not able to experience them with you. I hate that I can’t always be in the crowd watching you experience your big moments, since I don’t have the means to get there. I hate that we don’t always have the time to hang out or make plans because we’re busy with school and far away. Not only do I hate it, but I’m sorry for it.

However, there’s more that I want you to know. I may not be with you in the flesh, but I’m always rooting for you on my side of the state. I may not be able to drive to your house five minutes up the road to hang out, but I’m always willing to make time for you to come visit.

If you can’t come up, then I’m always open for FaceTime calls. I’m always available for a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear, advice, whatever it is you need at the time. Nothing has changed that. You are almost an exact replication of me and in the end, you are undoubtedly my person. Not a thing could change that. No matter who I meet here, you will always be the Meredith to my Yang. Lastly, I want you to know you deserve the absolute best and nothing less, so please always remember that.

Love you always.

Love,

Your Best Friend In College

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.
