Thank You To One Of My Best Friends, I Wouldn't Have Survived Coastal Without You
Alexis Wheeler

Gab where do I even begin?

We’ve been friends since my freshman year at Coastal. We clicked right off the bat of meeting each other. You’re soon leaving me to graduate college…like less than 25 days away and I haven’t really grasped that yet. Like it seems so unreal. Where has the time gone? I remember it like it was yesterday, I was going to join a sorority here at Coastal and I met you. After that, I knew we needed to be friends. No one in this world clicks with me like you do. We honestly are equally as crazy and weird.

We’ve gone through a lot together. You’ve helped me through some really hard times in my life, even saved it once too. We’ve traveled together, done stupid things together, helped each other not be so crazy together and just all around better one another in any way we could.

And I will be forever grateful for that. We talk at least twice a week each week. We haven’t been able to see each other as much lately but we are just so busy.

The friendship you’ve given me the last four years at Coastal has been filled with memories, to say the least. You’ve helped me overcome and achieve big goals in my life or helped me make huge decisions I couldn’t make on my own. You’re also the reason why I joined Odyssey and wrote so many wonderful articles so this one is for you:

Thank you for everything Gabby.

It’s meant the world to me to have such an amazing friend by my side and I couldn’t have done many things without you. From the random car rants, the snapchats of your lunch at your internships, and babysitting, the funny snapchats of just you, inspirational texts, the check-in texts to make sure I’m doing okay and to see how I am, all of it. I’m so grateful for it. I can’t wait to see all the amazing things you accomplish after you leave Coastal.

I am so proud of who you’ve become today and I’m going to miss you dearly. We’ve grown so much as individuals and together. And I know that even with you graduating were still going to be friends and talk all the time, and yes I will come visit too!

You will forever be my best friend, and I am so thankful for everything that led me to you. I couldn’t have imagined Coastal without you.

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.
