Dear Best Friend/Roomie/Soul Mate,

The time has come and you have found your next boyfriend. You have found someone who will spend hours in our kitchen cooking with you, on the couch watching Netflix with you, and in your room laughing with you. I am so excited to see someone make you happy and fill the gap in your heart that even I can't.

We both differ in the way that I am not in a place to date anyone right now, but you most certainly are, and that's okay.

But here are a few things to remember as you take these next steps in your relationship:

Don't forget that you're still my everything.

I don't have a boyfriend. I don't have a guy that I'm texting winky faces to all day or going on dinner dates with. Instead, you're the person I text all day. You're the person I get Fuzzy's nachos with for dinner. You're the person I share my bed with on occasion. Even though you are now splitting your time with two people you deeply care about, I'm not. You're my person, my one and only in fact. I just hope you don't forget little ol' me when/if you fall madly in love with him. Bear with me as this is quite a change for me too.

Also, please don't forget to continue to chase your dreams.

You went to school and worked so hard to get the most out of your degree. If you receive an opportunity that is too good to pass up, take it. Make your own decisions regarding your life and career and don't let anyone sway them. My fear for you is that a college relationship could keep you from leaving our little college town and starting the rest of your life. As your best friend, I want to see you land the job you have spent years studying and preparing for. Life is short and I don't want to see someone I love so much miss out on a life-changing opportunity because they felt tied down. But at the end of the day, I trust you to do what is best for you.

Lastly, I want to be as much a part of your life now as I was before you started dating again.

I want to become friends with him and friends with his friends too. Third-wheeling sounds so much better than sitting at home missing you and wondering when you're going to come back. I hope you know that I will ALWAYS be there for you with or without the boyfriend. I don't want to think of this guy as someone who is taking you away from me, but instead, as someone who is a new addition to the adventure you and I are on together. Welcome to the team, new boyfriend.

Love,

Your Best Friend/Roomie/Soul Mate

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:

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.
