To My Best Friend Who Never Left My Side

Through all these years, I am surprised you didn't get tired of me. But, I am so glad you didn't.

To My Best Friend Who Never Left My Side
Macie Crane

I do not know how you've done it. I don't know how you've been in my life this long and you've actually stuck around. You haven't replaced me; you have never gone astray. I just want you to know how much I appreciate you for never leaving me.

We have been best friends for as long as I can remember, through elementary school, middle school, and high school. There was no point in all of those years that I doubted our friendship. Yes, we have had our fair share of disagreements. And by fair share, I mean, A LOT. But, you are just one of those couple of people that I can be mad at one second, then the very next second, forget what we were even fighting over.

You know all there is to know about me, including all of the bad. You know about my wrongdoings, my embarrassing stories and my lowest points; you've lived most of them out with me. Yet knowing all of this, you do not view me any differently; I am still your best friend. You always give your opinion on my life choices, whether I want to hear it or not. You encourage me, rather than tear me down.

I actually feel selfish for ever thinking I have been alone. Because, thinking about it now, you have never let me experience the true meaning of loneliness. No matter what happens, I know my best friend will drop anything and everything to be there for me.

You have been right next to me through everything as if I had an extra limb. When my mom was not there, you were there. When my dad was gone, you were there. When my great grandma was in the hospital, you were there; as well as when she passed. When my boyfriend and I broke up, you were there. Through all the heartache I have endured, you've been my shoulder to cry on, literally.

I do not know what I did to deserve someone like you to come into my life. All I know is that I am forever grateful that the good Lord blessed me with you as my best friend. I don't quite tell you enough how much you mean to me, so I hope you see it now. I love you so much. Thank you for never leaving my side.

XO and best wishes,

Ashley Rose Corbin

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.
