Dear Best Friend

You've helped me to become a better person.

Dear Best Friend,

There is a common myth that men and women cannot be best friends and I'd like to disprove that. My best friend is male and this thank you is for him.

Before you I was a scared little girl who didn't know how to talk to boys, let alone look at them or react when they looked at me. Not much has changed outwardly (let's face it, we both know I'm awkward), but because of you I am a heck of a lot more confident on the inside. You remind me daily that I am beautiful, smart, funny, that men do desire me and that being in a relationship isn't everything. You've helped me to realize that I am not the reason that my past relationships failed and that I am worthy of love. I love you so much for that. I love you so much for being as warped as I am, or maybe a little more.

You give me the male perspective on a lot of things that I wouldn't understand otherwise. Together we have come to the conclusion that men and women are equally as crazy when it comes to certain things and therefore we can't judge each other's crazy without first looking at our own. You accept me for both my feminine and masculine traits and despite the fact that we come from different worlds.

You've taught me that sometimes the best therapy is to sit down, cuddle a cat, drink a beer and watch a movie. You've taught me that not everything deserves a reaction. You've given me a place of safety during a time when my own mind wasn't safe and I will forever be grateful for that. I've taught you that its okay to dance in the rain if it makes you happy and there is nothing wrong with admitting that you are not okay. We balance each other pretty well while also bringing out some of the best things in each other. We can fight like cats and dogs sometimes, but I always know that in less than twenty-four hours we will be back to normal.

You are such a beautifully dark soul and the things that you've taught me have changed me in ways that I'm not sure that I'll ever fully understand. We have so many inside jokes and movie references that other people just don't understand, it's almost like we have our own language. I never thought that we would become friends, let alone that you would become one of the most important people in my life. It is crazy that we have come all the way from hating each other to where we are now. You are not just my male best friend, you are my best friend period.

Love,

Your Prep Bitch <3

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:

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.
