To all of my beautiful best friends,

Thank you for being my best friends. Thank you for listening to my problem which range from what should I wear to stupid boys. Thank you for putting me in my place whenever I'm wrong or I'm not seeing the big picture. Thank you for helping me study for tests and being my partner for projects. Thank you for the last minute trips out of town to run to a bigger Walmart. Thank you for all of the friend dates, ice cream runs, and pre/post game dinners. Thank you for staying up countless late nights and talking to me about the most random crap. Thank you for letting me meet new people through you. Thank you for keeping my head on straight when I want to do outrageous things. Thank you for sometimes easing up and letting me do some wild stuff. Thank you for being a shoulder to cry on when I'm sad. Thank you for being a hand to hold when I'm scared. Thank you for everything. You've given me a beautiful friendship that I would not change for the world. Allison, thank you for deciding to become my roommate at Missouri State with me. To all of my other sweet faced best friends, this is not the end for us. We will continue to send each other goofy pictures and heartfelt conversations. You have all built me into the person I am today. I wouldn't be here if I didn't have the love and support from each and every one of you. I know that some of our relationships started out pretty rocky, such as the ones I have with Colby and Tristan, but that's what makes all of our relationships so special and so unique. You guys will forever have my heart. I love you all.

Sincerely, Makayla <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.
