An Open Letter To My Home Best Friend

I miss you.

An Open Letter To My Home Best Friend
Faith Burling

Dear Home Best Friend,

First, let us start off with how much I miss you. While I have found multiple great friends here at college, they won't be able to take your place.

You came into my life when I really needed a friend and who knew that someone who has had my back since the day we met would only live six minutes from me. Too bad it took us a few years to actually meet. Even at six hours apart now, I know that you are still there for me and I am so grateful for you.

I also miss the times we spent together in that small town, driving around for hours and jamming to 2000's music. The stress reliever that it was is not nearly the same here. Or when we played hide-n-seek in Walmart at midnight.

Or that one time we got kicked out for playing hide-n-seek. The time I accidentally broke your glove box (I'm still sorry about that). Or the time that you made the faucet fall off of your sink while doing dishes.

I think my friends here have heard almost every story about us, maybe a few more times than once. Like the time you finally figured out what the song "Ignition" was actually about. The time you made me go to the rodeo because it would be "the best time" of my life. It wasn't actually that bad, but I will probably not be going back.

I am so grateful for the support that you and your family still give me even though I am not home much. I always know when I need an unbiased opinion or I just need to talk to someone, you are there for me. And I hope that you know that I am always here for you.

I am so proud of everything that you have done since I have left. I have seen so much growth for you as a person. You've got a great job that I know you enjoy so much. You've done so many great things with your singing and I am so proud of you for following your dreams. It honestly inspires me. Plus, you were accepted to college! You're absolutely killing the game.

I am so happy to be able to call you my best friend.

You always know how to make me smile and I'm not for sure if you just sense when I am having a bad day, but every single time you seem to think of me and send me a snapchat of a song we enjoyed while driving at night. I hope that I do the same for you.

I hope that wherever life takes us, whether it is six minutes away or across the world, we will still be best friends. To wrap this letter up, I think it would be appropriate to add some lyrics that we always jam to.

You're a true friend

You're here 'til the end

You pull me aside

When something ain't right

Talk with me now and into the night

'Til it's alright again

You're a true friend

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
