To my Former Best Friend,

First, I would just like to say how proud I am of you. I am so proud of you for chasing your dreams. You always were the one to know exactly what you were going to do and then doing it. I want you to know that I miss you and the friendship we once had. We grew apart and that’s okay but I will forever be thankful for the season of life we shared together.

From elementary school to high school, you were there for it all. You helped shape me into the person I am today and I will forever be thankful for that. You taught me what it means to be strong in aspects of my life. To be strong emotionally, physically, and spiritually. You would never let me settle because you knew I could do so much more. I will always be thankful that God let us grow up together. I’m glad I was able to be a part of your crazy family and that you were able to be a part of mine. I will always treasure the memories I have with you. From sleepovers to football games to youth trips to family gatherings to everything in between, you were there. We were the dynamic duo that couldn’t be separated. I am so thankful that God let our paths cross and let us walk through a season of life together. I can honestly say I am a better person because of you and the impact you made on my life.

I would be lying if I said I didn’t miss you and the friendship we once had. Our lives have gone in different directions and that’s okay. I hope you’re having a great time at university. I know you’re going to do amazing things and I can’t wait to see what God has planned for you. You have been one of my greatest blessings and I am so glad God gave me you for a season of my life. I am always here for you and I hope to catch up with you soon.

Love you always,

Your Former Best Friend

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
