A Poem to My Best Friend

We were all alone at home with nothing but music blasting,
and right now I'm sitting here reminiscing
daydreaming and wanting those moments back
where we played monopoly while tears streamed down our faces,
there's certainly no one like you in the world
this is no joke cause it's hard to find friends like you,
cause no one else would put up with my craziness, obsessiveness
like you do.

No boundaries were ever placed between us,
we could show up at each others house in the middle of the night
and neither one of us would bat an eye,
while the rest of the world would call us psychopaths,
but we didn't care,
we were young and reckless just like any other teen,
and felt like we could take over the world.

Now as adults we call each other when we have news,
whether it be good or bad,
we reminisce and think back over the crazy chaotic mess
we left behind for our children to see,
and we smile as we laugh,
cause we know they'll look at us
roll their eyes and think that we were being over dramatic.

No matter what time it is day or night
we find ourselves talking to each other in the dark,
where I tell you about the new adventure I'm about to embark,
or you telling me about the new memories you're making with the boys.

It's hard to break us apart,
my mom is yours and vice versa,
and no one will ever come between us
because there have been attempts before,
and none were successful,
but let's be honest
we are a couple of maniacs who are meant to be friends,
partners in crime,
sisters for life,
and I couldn't ask for a better one.

I drive you mad sometimes,
just like you do to me,
but that's what our friendship is all about,
has been for the past twenty years,
and here's to another twenty more.

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.
