A Bond That Can Never Be Broken

An article for my best friend.

Everyone has that one person they turn to for anything. In times of happiness, sadness, anger, and frustration. In times of loneliness, and in times when you wanna rejoice for no longer being lonely. That person who will be in your life no matter what kind of crime they commit or how many times they puke in your car, they will always be your person.

I have that person and she is my sister through thick and thin, and I would never change the bond we have. She's taught me so many things in life and she's helped me be strong in times that weakness surrounded me. She is my light in the darkness.

But my person lives with something that most people don't even know about. She suffers anxiety and social depression. She's someone who puts herself through hell and she can't even help it, and most people don't even know about it because she buries it down.

But I am lucky because I am a person she trusts, and in helping her through this she has taught me more than I could have ever expected.

She's taught me patience, in those late night calls when she didn't even know why she was crying but she just needed someone there to listen and tell her to breathe. In these times I sat and I listened no matter how much it hurt to hear her pain I sat and waited.

I told her to slow down and breathe and that I would away I'd be there for her no matter what. And when they crying stopped that when she taught me how to truly listen.

When someone doesn't know why they are crying they don't need advice or you to try and connect that just need someone who will listen. No matter if it's about the boy that broke her heart or that dumb barista at Starbucks who can never get her order right, I listen.

Lastly, she taught me unconditional love. She showed me that I had the capability to there for someone no matter what time of day or night or where I may be. When she called or texted I was there.

But she didn't just teach me things about myself, she showed me things.

She showed me what it was like to be trusted. To know I was her go-to person no matter how bad the situation was or how badly she wanted to hide it from the world she called me.

She showed me unconditional love right back because she too answered when my crying was over the dumb boys that I let break my heart over and over again I knew she had my back too.

This article is dedicated to her, my person who has taught me so much, and who has taught me to have her back in a whole different way. She'll have my back through everything and our bond is one that can never be broken.

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.
