An Open Letter To The Friend I Lost

Dear friend that I no longer talk too,

I am sorry that this is how our friendship turned out, I am sorry that we lost the friendship that we had for so long.

I know part of it is my fault and not all yours; it's the fact that our lives took two different courses and we couldn't keep them together to save our friendship. Maybe it's for the best. Maybe it's for the worst. Either way please know that I did not want this to happen but with the way of the wind our purposes in life took two different courses and fate has it that our friendship is no more.

Possibly we took different courses because whether we wanted to admit it or not we were two very different people. Maybe it was because our personalities were just too different and we knew in our hearts that we just couldn't keep it together with what little we had.

Please know that even though we went or separate ways it doesn't mean I am not rooting for you or holding your secrets close to heart. I have your back even though we don't talk and don't confide in each other anymore. I will take your secrets to the grave with me. I hope you are living the life you always wanted and know I am rooting that you are getting what you want; most importantly I hope you are happy.

Please know that I miss you and I miss our adventures that we would go on. That sometimes I sit and contemplate about getting in touch with you again just to remember old times. I know it wouldn't do any good and would just make things more uncomfortable for the times we have ran into each other. But do realize I do miss you and I miss our times when we would hang out.

Our memories I hold close to my heart as to know that our time was short and it was possibly meant to be and for that I am sorry. When I miss you I think back to our times when we would hang out or go places; I know I sound like I was in love with you. I wasn't I loved you like a sister and at times I sometimes feel like you were when we would just walk into each others house, knowing we didn't care and it was okay to do so.

I know that this letter doesn't change anything and I didn't think it would. I just thought possibly it would help us both cope with the fact that for some reason our friendship wasn't in the cosmos and for that I am very sad. I am sad that I lost a friend and a sister to me. I am sad that we let it happen even though we both could have tried to stop it.

I hope your life is everything you wanted and more. I hope you are happy with everything that is going on in your life. I hope some day we can meet and have coffee and catch up.

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.
