Dear Best Friend,

Recently, you've been feeling in need of some space away from me and the rest of our friends. I have to admit that initially, I wasn't very understanding. I didn't know what would come of all of this. I also didn't know where you were mentally, and it hurt me that you were able to cut me out of your life without explaining why.

But upon a little bit more communication, I realized that I understood where you were coming from with needing time and space away. Sometimes, you need to change yourself and better yourself, even if that means being away from people because you don't want them to influence who you become too much.

I know you are doing what is best for you, and I know that in the end, there will be more good that comes from this, and I can only imagine this will strengthen our relationship further down the line. I won't pretend it doesn't hurt me a little bit that I was one of the people you felt the need to take time away from, but I also can't bring myself to be mad at you for doing this.

As one of your best friends, all I have ever wanted is for you to be where you want to be in life and for you to be happy being there. If that means taking some time and/or space away from us than I support you 100%. Your happiness is all that I have ever wanted.

Take all the time you need, and better yourself over this period of time, however long it may be. Because I never want you to feel trapped, or unhappy because I decided to be selfish.

I'll be here when you're ready to talk, and I'll be here to support you through this journey if you need it.

Love,

Your person

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.

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.
