An Open Letter To My Best Friend I've Known Since I Was Born

You have been there through the good, bad and the crazy. For that I am blessed.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend I've Known Since I Was Born
Danielle Snyder

Sometimes I question why good things happen to bad people but bad things happen to good people. I then remember that that's not always the case, sometimes good things do happen to good people. One of those things was meeting you, my best friend.

I don't remember meeting you exactly, considering our moms were friends before we were born, but I do remember being little and running around neighborhood birthday parties together. I remember playing dress up with dolls, I remember sitting with you before you moved to Mississippi and I remember stuffing our faces with Taco Bell as we watched Children of the Corn. Needless to say, I have so many amazing memories with you. Most of them involve us eating food.

You were there for me at a time I felt no one was. Without you, I have no idea what kind of person I would be today. You have changed my life in so many ways. For example, before I met you I never saw "Crossroads" or "Cruel Intentions" but since you introduced me to them, my life has been flipped. Now on a serious note, you have made me into the person I am today. You have opened my eyes to so many things that I couldn't think of on my own. You opened my eyes to literally a whole new world.

You are one of the few people who can make me laugh and smile constantly. One of my favorite memories with you was when we would go into your parents room when we were in that awkward age stage and would go on the computer camera and start taking all of those funny pictures on the "camwow" I remember sitting there just laughing for hours and who can forget our iconic "heart" photo shoot?


We have known each other for fifteen years and it seems we grow closer and closer every day. I don't remember the last time we actually got into fight besides when we were kids and you said you didn't want to be my friend because I took your doll. Or maybe it was when I got mad at you when we were nine because you didn't believe my lie that Kelly Clarkson was my cousin. My point is, that even though we have never got into a fight all these years doesn't mean we still haven't had ups and downs. The fact that after fifteen years we still laugh together and are still best friends makes me extremely happy.

Thank you for letting me rant for hours on hours about boys,school and social media drama among other things. Thank you for letting me be myself around you and not judging any crazy or dumb things I do. Finally, thank you for being my best friend!

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
