Dear College Best Friend, Thanks For Being Like A Family Member
UnSplash

College is a time to remember, especially when you have a great group of friends. At first, there's that awkward silence when the teacher asks to get in a group on the first day to get to know other people, but then a few months later, you found your family away from home. You find your group of friends that are like your family and you trust with everything. You'll also find your college best friend that will be like a family member to you. This is a letter to one of my college best friends.

Dear College Best Friend,

Since the first day of college orientation, I instantly knew that we would be friends. As first semester went on, we became closer and closer because we had each other. Even though we lived in different dorm towers, we still found ways to hang out and talk to each other as much as we could. I never thought that I would find great friends in college, but I guess I did, and meeting you was the best thing ever. So, thanks for being my best friend.

Thanks for listening to my rants

Honestly, I rant and complain a lot. So many things happen in a day that I need to tell someone about the ups and downs, the good and the bad. I need to get it out of my system and the first person I think of is you. I know I can talk way too much and I can be annoying has hell, but thanks for listening to my shit.

Thanks for handling me as a person

I can be a handful. I'm weird. I talk way too much. I say things that don't make sense. But, you love me for who I am and do whatever you can to keep being my weird, happy, self. So thank you, for handling me as a person.

Thanks for being my friend away from home

I was afraid that I would be alone in college after leaving my high school friends, despite the fact that I wanted to leave high school badly because I hated it. Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened since I walked through those college doors. We became the closest friends in such a short amount of time and I'm glad we became such great friends. So thanks, for being my friend away from home.

Thanks for being there for me.

In such a short amount of time, so much has happened. I lost my grandma, school seemed impossible, and I felt completely alone with no one to talk to. After telling you my grandma died, in less then 10 minutes, with a bag a chocolate and cookies, you comforted me as I felt heartbroken and alone. You were there for me when no one else was. That day, proved to me that you were my best friend. Thanks for being there for the good times and the bad times. Thanks for being there for me.

Thanks for being my college best friend.

Thanks for being my friend. Thanks for getting me food. Thanks for listening to me constantly about the most stupidest things. Thanks for being on video chat with me for 3 hours just to be there and let me talk. Thanks for being my college best friend. I don't know what I would do college without 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.
