Are We Still Best Friends Forever?

Dear best friend,

What happened to us? We used to talk everyday, about all the important and stupid stuff. You knew everything about my life and I knew everything about yours. Now I feel like I don't even know you. Every time I see a post from you or hear something about you, all it does is make me sad. It makes me sad because I think of the people we used to be. College has changed us. Even though we're 188 miles away from each other I still thought we would talk. I thought I'd get all the stories about the amazing things you're doing. I thought you'd be curious about what's going on in my life. Yet, somehow here I am 188 miles away from you feeling like you don't care anymore.

I miss the times where we were never separate. We were the true definition of two peas in a pod. Your mom felt like a second mom to me and my family took you with open arms. I miss the days of wasting hours at the mall aimlessly walking around. The trips to JoAnn's to make blankets, even though we had a million (you can never be too warm). I miss the sleepovers that ended with you falling asleep early. Blasting Hunter Hayes and singing at the top our lungs not caring who heard us because we were having fun. I miss a lot of things that we used to do.

It hit me the other day that I shouldn't care as much as I do. But that's just the person I am. I don't send you a million text messages anymore because I don't want to be a bother. The last time we talked like best friends was Christmas break. I guess I'm just lost because I don't know what to do anymore. I don't know if you still want me in your life or if you just want to move on.

That one word has changed us so much. College has made us into different people. I guess it's just time for me to wake up and realize our friendship will never be like it was in high school. We've become too independent people, and as much as it sucks that we aren't as close as we were, I think a lot of people go through this. I hope that we can work on our friendship and try to make up for lost time, but I'm beginning to loose hope of being your best friend again.

If you want to work on our friendship just let me know. Even if it takes a long time. I'll still be here when you come back. You'll always be my best friend in my heart. Thanks for all those years, laughs, and countless memories.

Love,

Your best friend <3

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.
