To My Best Friend On Her Future Wedding Day

When I read the title, I immediately smile.

You found the one. I hope he's everything you wished for.

I remember you and me, sitting around playing Barbie's, wondering when our boyfriends would look like Ken dolls. I remember crushing on celebrities and circling the cuties in our magazines!

I remember crying in the mirror with you, dancing to Kidz Bop, and putting on our flavored Smacker's lip gloss. I remember writing a note in class and sliding it over to a boy. I remember the first guy that asked you to sit with him at lunch in elementary school.

I remember the first 8th-grade dance when we fist pumped on the dance floor. I remember graduating from middle school and planning our first day of high school outfits.

I remember passing seniors in the hall, whispering about how cute they were with you. I remember taking selfies in the school bathrooms. I remember graduating from high school and picking our colleges.

I remember all of these times like they were yesterday. Now, I am in college, watching you thrive. I am watching you grow into the woman you always wished for. I am watching you find out what you like and don't like. I am watching you do what makes you happy.

But most importantly, I am watching the one boy who is going to take you forever on your future wedding day.

I hope he is all you wished for. I hope he is that Ken Doll in your eyes. I hope he is just as cute as those boys in the magazines you used to circle! I hope when you cry in the mirror, you aren't ashamed to listen to Kidz Bop if you want. I hope you put on your flavored lip glosses and leave him cute notes like we did in elementary school class.

I hope he dances with you and Jersey fist pumps when necessary. I hope he appreciates your style, as you always loved picking out outfits. I hope he gives you butterflies and loves your selfies no matter where you are or what time of the day.

I hope he pushes you to your best and supports you on your dreams and goals. I hope he loves you unconditionally and never lets you go.

But hey, to my best friend on her wedding day, I cannot tell you how proud I am. I am proud to accept the man that will love you forever as a best friend and soulmate like we did all growing up!

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.
