Dear Ex-Best Friend,

This is for you, and all the things I should have told you. But you never gave me that chance, did you?

I often used to wonder why you ghosted me.

We used to do everything together. From sleepovers, to eating out every day, and going to the lake. There was never a day where we weren't seen together and it felt so amazing. It was like I had finally found that place where I completely fit in and I'd finally found that one person who I could literally tell everything to.

But then you vanished from my life.

Now, we don't do anything together and I never see you anymore. I guess wouldn't change a thing because I learned from those experiences with you. We were toxic and we hurt a lot of the people around us. We were at our worst when we were together and I guess I was too blind to see it.

I was blind, but I finally opened my eyes to reality.

I realized that it was probably for the best that we parted ways because we were no good around each other. When we were friends, I pushed out my old friends like they meant nothing to me. The more we hung out, I became a different person, and it was someone I wasn't proud of.

So, dear ex-best friend, I have to say thank you. Thank you for showing me what a toxic friendship looks like and thank you for showing me how NOT to treat people. Thank you for showing me that when I was with you, it wasn't the person I wanted to become.

So I will no longer sulk over you, or get upset when I think about our friendship, but rather I will look at it as a learning experience. I really learned this lesson from you: just because you get new friends doesn't give you the right to push your old ones out.

Lastly, I really do wish you the best, my ex-best friend, and I hope that in the future you too can grow from the person that you are now. I hope that you find your own happiness, because I have found mine. You essentially ghosted me and honestly I think that was the best thing that ever happened to me.

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.

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.
