Dear New Best Friend,

To all my "old" best friends, don't let the title fool you, because no, you have not been replaced. I just found a "new" best friend that I want to share with the world.

First off, thank you for being my breath of fresh air. We met four months ago, and my life changed. It's funny how I feel like I have known you my whole life. The way we just know everything about each other is crazy. The way we tell each other everything about anything is not only warming, but also sometimes a little strange. The way that you are able to pick up on all of my facial expressions and all of my little quirks, is the perfect reason to be my friend. I can always count on you to know what's up, and maybe even say it when I don't quite have the words yet. I can't imagine where I would be without you today. It's safe to say you have changed me for the better and for that, I'll never be able to repay you.

Remember on the first day, when we sat next to each other and immediately felt comfortable? When we sat down with our new coach in that silent room, alongside a bunch of strangers, and were the only ones to have opinions and laugh. That's when we should have known that this was a going to be a friendship unlike any other. However, it took until just now to realize that you are my best friend. It took until just now for it to finally come out, that I thought I liked you way more than you liked me, and vise versa. I am lucky to have a friend that makes planning our future adventures so fun and exciting. I am beyond thankful to be on the same team with you, because we will always have something to hold us together.

I don't take nearly enough time to tell you how much you are appreciated, so I thought I should just share it all at one, however just know that the list could go on for miles. Thank you for showing me that you can still be confident even though you're a girl. The way you carry yourself is unlike anyone I've been around before, and I admire you for that. Thank you for spending hours upon hours doing nothing with me and being perfectly happy. On the complete opposite end, thank you for always going on crazy adventures that really make going to a community college OK. Thank you for driving miles just to come over every day, because we both know I don't like driving. Thank you for being the one who loves food just as much as I do, and for never being afraid to eat six meals a day. Thank you for always having my back and for letting me watch over you as well. Thank you for always making me laugh uncontrollably, no matter how sassy I am feeling. Thank you for always being there for anything I need. Thank you for finally liking me as much as I like you.

Then genuineness of our friendship is so hard to come by these days, and therefore, I am so blessed to have found you. Although it has only been four months, I want to thank you for walking into my life like you were there all along. I am eager to find out where life takes us both after this next year together in the Northwest suburbs, but until then, thank you for having the same excitement for this next year at home.

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.

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.

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.
