An Open Letter to My Best Friend

An Open Letter to My Best Friend
The Odyssey

I don't think I've ever missed anyone more than I have missed you. Even though it has been three years with you living in another city, it still hits me that I cannot just call you up to hang out. It was a hard thing to adapt to, but in the long run, it is something that has truly made our friendship stronger.

The one thing I love about us being apart is every time you come back into town is the fact we act like nothing has changed. Even if we haven't seen each other in over three months, we pick up right here we left off. Time does not seem to matter when I'm away from you, and boy, am I glad for that.

I believe that a person who makes a huge impact on your life is with you for a reason. You—you are my person. You have helped me get through so much in the six years we have known each other. Whether it be a break-up with some horrible boy, or when I'm having issues with school, and even when I was not doing well as a person. You stuck through it all with me.

There will never be a dull moment with us, ever. On two sets of hands, I don't ever think we will be able to count all of our inside jokes or all the memories we have had. To name a few; the hamster bed in Nebraska Furniture Mart, jumping the median just to get Starbucks (that one will never die), how green goes perfect with pink, and my all time favorite, the milk that looks like Nemo. These memories, along with so many more, are stories I will tell my kids about, along with your kids.

We are basically sisters, even though you have four already. We talk about things I don't talk about with my other friends. For example, already having our wedding ideas planned out—knowing what the other wants in their wedding, being in each others wedding. I think the best thing we have for our future together is that our daughters will be best friends, just like us, and that one Halloween they will be Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe (if we can convince our husbands of that).

You moving to a diffrent city was the hardest thing that ever happened to me, but knowing you will ALWAYS be my person makes me feel safe. I never have to be scared that I will lose such a beautiful, fabulous, and caring human being.

What I'm trying to say is, thank you. Thank you for everything you have done and will do for me. Thank you for being the person who made me feel comfortable in the theatre department back in High School, and most of all....

Thank you for always being the Glinda to my Elphaba.

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.
