To The Bestie I Didn't Know I Needed

Now that I have you I can't imagine life without you.

They say some people are in your life for a reason, while others are just for a season, and I'm already coming up with endless reasons so you never leave.

I know the reason why our paths crossed, but I don't think I've ever told you.

The summer before you came into my life I suffered the worst kind of breakup, one with a best friend.

Distance, resentment and an argument on a drunken night were all it took to end a friendship that was going on 10 years.

We weren't healthy for each other and I knew that, but she was my family when I needed it most and I felt too indebted to make a change until, suddenly, I had no other choice.

When the house that was our sisterhood went up in flames I was heartbroken and scared. I truly didn't know how I was going to go on and who I was going to lean on.

She was the person I shared absolutely everything with, and I didn't think I would ever find a friendship like that again, and then I met you.

I came back to school after an endless summer of pretending I was okay and the universe brought me to you.

You showed me the light without even knowing I was in the dark.

You are the person I want to call always. Whether I've had the best day or the absolute worst, you are who I want to talk to and hang out with, and not just because I feel like I don't have anyone else.

Our friendship has given me clarity. It has made me realize how toxic my previous one was, even though from the outside it looked perfect.

Our friendship made me realize that I deserve better than what I had and it allowed me to stop blaming myself.

There aren't enough words to tell you how much you mean to me.

In you, I found trust, happiness and true sisterhood.

Because of you, I feel good about myself, and I can't confidently say I've ever felt that before.

You have given me the confidence to chase after my dreams with everything I have.

With you, I know I'm never alone.

You'll be with me on my wedding day and you'll be apart of my children's lives.

They say you find your best friends in college, and they're right.

Thank you for being my person, I don't know what I did to deserve you.

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.
