An Open Letter To People Who Choose Their S.O. Over Their Friends
Buddy Project

Friend,

I’m so happy for you being in a relationship with someone you like and cares about you. I really am! I’m glad you found someone to share our life with, someone to love.

But you need to stop choosing your significant others over your friends all the time. Trust me, I understand. I’m in a relationship too, and sometimes all I want to do is spend time with them. It’s all about balance.

Whenever I ask you to hangout, most of the time the answer is “no”, because you’ve got plans with your S.O. Sometimes, you’ll even cancel plans with me to hang out with them. It hurts, but I always let it go. Because I want you to be happy, and you deserve to be happy.

But what about my happiness? I’m tired of biting my tongue all the time to make you happy. I deserve to be happy, too! Friendship isn’t a one-way street, you’ve got to pull your own weight. We’ve been friends for a while, a lot longer than you’ve known your S.O. and way longer than you’ve been dating. I know all of your intimate secrets, all of the people you’ve ever crushed on, and all of your hopes and dreams. We’ve shared together many good times, LOL moments, and a fair share of sad ones, too. We’ve seen each other through ups and downs, highs and lows. We have an incredible friendship!

But I haven’t seen you much in the last few months. You’re busy making memories with your boo. Pleasemake time for me, too. I miss you. It really hurts for you to constantly choose your S.O. over me. It would mean so much to me if we could go out for a couple drinks, and catch up. Tell me about your boo and all the adventures you’ve had, I’m sure you have so much to tell me. I’ve got a lot to tell you! I’d love to know how you’ve been doing and what’s new in your life, because I care about you. I’d love to have you back, friend.

Sincerely,

Don't Forget About Me

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. 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.
