An Open Letter To My College Best Friend

A college best friend is someone you see every month of the year except for the summer, but the bond you two make is stronger than any other friendship you've ever had.

An Open Letter To My College Best Friend
Kiley Hill

To my college best friend,

You came into my life out of nowhere, and I think that's what's made this friendship so special. I wanted to be friends with you so badly and I just couldn't figure out how to start. So, as we joke about, my first attempt was complimenting your rings as our group of friends walked to a party together.

A few parties later, and we found out we both wanted to be friends but didn't know how to start. Funny to see how things changed so fast. Ever since that night, we've been inseparable and I couldn't be more thankful for that.

As the weeks leading up to college shortened, I was so anxious I wouldn't be able to make any friends. I never knew I'd be finishing my second semester with the most amazing person to call my best friend.

I don't even know where to begin when describing our friendship. We relate together on so many different things and you understand me better than any other friend I've had. You're the first person I go to with anything, and I know whatever I tell you stays between us and your loyalty means more than anything to me.

We don't have to talk every day to know we're still each other's best friend, but we do anyway. When we hang out, we can sit in silence on our phones and still enjoy spending time together.

I can't thank you enough for taking the time to get to know me and love me for who I am. You truly have been the biggest blessing that walked into my life since I started at Penn State. I couldn't imagine my life without you and it's good that I can't because I know you'll be a life long friend to me.

I truly have no idea how I got through life without having you as my friend. My life has brightened so much since I've been able to call you my best friend.

You're at my maturity level, which is so hard to find these days. I've never thought once how immature you are being like I do most people our age. You take the time to listen to me and understand my problems. Sometimes you suck at listening, I'll be five minutes into a story and you'll be like, "Wait, what?" But when I truly need you, you're there. We walk 10 minutes to each other's dorms because we can't stand being bored without each other, so instead, we sit in my dorm and be bored together.

I can't wait for the many adventures we'll take together the rest of our lives as I call you my best friend. Thank you for being you and I'll forever love you, Corn.

Always,

Your college best friend

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
