I wish I could take everything back.

Dear Best Friend,

I wish I had the right words to tell you how horrible I still feel about everything that has happened between us. I do wish I could turn back time, so I could stop myself from hurting you. You were my pride and joy, and I cannot imagine what my life would have been like if you never came into my life. I will always cherish our friendship and the memories we made together. I'm always proud of everything you accomplished, and I will always cheer you on. You really were the best thing that has ever happened to me. I just made a mistake that was beyond stupid, and I wish I could take it all back.

I know that every time you see me now, you think of all the memories that you would like more than ever to forget. I would like you to know that you did not deserve what I did to you at all. You are such an amazing person, inside and out, and you deserve so much better. I still cry myself to sleep every night because of what happened because I hate to see you hurting. Every time I see a picture of the two of us, I can't help but cry because I would give up the world to see you happy again. I took advantage of our friendship just because you were the first person to tell me that I was not what everyone else said I was, and that I was so much more than what others label me as. That was the worst thing I could possibly do to someone I care about. I just wish there was some way I could be able to help you get through this. I want you to heal, and I don't want you to suffer anymore. I want you to know that there is a light at the end of this dark tunnel.

I also understand the damage that has been done, and I do expect to be forgiven for what happened, as much as I want you to. You are not obligated to forgive me for any reason because this took a serious toll on our friendship, and I can see the damage that has been done. But I will let you know that I am trying my hardest to do better. I cannot let what has happened to us happen to someone else I become friends with, and I want to show you that I changed. I want to show you that I really want your trust back more than anything, and I'm trying my hardest to earn that. No one could ever have the same impact on me like you have, and I want to show you that I'm still worth it.

With love,

Your (best) friend that's trying to do better

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.
