An Open Letter To My High School Best Friend
original

Dear Best Friend,

This is a much long overdue appreciation letter for everything you do. So please bare with me through this super sappy letter because I know you're going to be rolling your eyes through most of it.

First I would like to say thank you for being one of my first friends our freshman year. Going to a new school is always scary, and going to a new high school where everyone has known each other since they were three, seemed terrifying to little 14 year old me. But nonetheless you (among with other people) welcomed me with open arms and treated me with as much love as you did with your other friends whom you've known you're whole life.

Thank you for singing with me in freshman bio, for always giving me a partner in 10th grade English, for surviving (barely) AP Bio, and keeping me sane during calculus. Basically, thank you for getting me through those four years, in our little tiny school, with everything it entailed, especially the last few weeks.

Thank you for being just as weird as me, for all the lunch dates, for putting up with my taste in music, for scaring away boys, for being my "girlfriend", for all the late night Facetime calls, for modeling with me for my mom, for being my date to senior prom, for giving me a second home, for all the adventures, and most importantly thank you for sticking by my side through everything.

You put up with my stubbornness and snap me back to reality when I need it and show me whats really important. You deal with my mental breakdowns and put things into perspective, and show me what I'm really worth. You love me unconditionally for who I am, and that is so much more than what I could ask for in a best friend.

Having you is like having a constant cheerleader (shut up I know what you're thinking). What I mean is that you're always in my corner supporting me with all of my decisions, no matter how crazy or stupid they may be.

In all honesty, I haven't known you that long... four going on five years, but I will remember you forever. You are the one person I tell literally everything to, it doesn't matter how weird, or gross or stupid my stories are you are always right there laughing with me or going along with my dumb ideas I have at one o'clock in the morning.

You have become a part of my crazy Portuguese family and everyone loves you as if you were blood related. You have become another sister to not only me but to Jill as well, and lord help her when she gets a boyfriend...the two of us are worse than if she had an older brother.

Also, a quick thank you in advance for being my future nurse when I'm a PA, a godmother to my kids, for being in my wedding, and for being my lifelong best friend because I don't think I could make it through life without you.

Thank you for everything you do, and thank you for being my person.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
