An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Always Remember

Who else would spray a can of silly string and try to light it on fire with me?

An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Always Remember

Hey there,

I have so much to say to you, but absolutely nothing to say at the same time. I mean how can I put into words what you mean to me and what all we’ve been through? You’re my best friend, but you’re also the boy I’ve had a (not so) secret crush on for the past 3 years.

From the very start of our friendship, everyone told us that we needed to date. Of course being the awkward youngins we were, we thought that idea was absurd. If only we knew what our friendship would become. We were never an “official item,” but everyone knew we were the school's power couple. We were the epitome of relationship goals. Of course, this was when you weren’t going after other girls, but we won’t dwell on your mistakes. I’m just glad you knew that I would still be there waiting for you, even when you may have ignored me for them. Again, let’s not dwell on your mistakes.

They say if you have a crush on someone for more than 4 months, then you’ve already fallen in love with that person. I would have to agree with them. I always thought that meant you were supposed to imagine yourself with them and a white picket fence, but I realized there are so many different ways to feel love. I love you because you are the person I know I can always talk to. I love you because you are the one that can always make me happy no matter what. I love you because you know everything there is to know about me. I love you because I know when I’m with you, I won’t be judged. I love you because you are the best friend I could possibly ask for.

Through all of my ups and downs, you have always been the one I can count on. I know I will always be able to count on you, even if we haven’t talked in years. I’m sure there will come a day when you find a girl that will replace me in your life, and I’ll be fine with that because I will always be happy as long as you’re happy.

I guess I should conclude this with apologizing for my abundance of emotions, but I think I had some things to tell you that I don’t know if I could in person. I hope this doesn’t scare you too much.

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.

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.
