For Emily

Because you inspire me.

For Emily
Cierra Donnelly

Well, here it is. The article I promised you. An article all about you.

I'm so thankful you let me sit with you on the swings that day in first grade. Can you believe that was almost two decades ago? Since then we have experienced so many things together. Concerts, relationships, late night convos, all nighters, late night Wesco and Mcdonald's runs, and wine nights. You're truly such an amazing friend.

I don't know what I would do without you. I'm so thankful to have someone like you who is brutally honest. If I pick out a haircut or outfit and ask you about it I know that you would be completely honest with me. You're not afraid to hurt my feelings if you know it's in the best interest for me. I love the fact that I can call you at three in the morning and know that you'll be there no matter the circumstances. You make sure to remind me that I have dealt with so many things in my life and that it's okay to reflect on them and feel weak sometimes.

You are undeniably one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. Whether you're chasing the puppies around and screaming or yelling random things at people while we drive past them you never fail to make me laugh. I'm so thankful that I have you whenever I need a laugh. I could be in the worst mood possible (like that day I punched the hole in the door...oops) and know that I can always count on you to turn the situation into a joke.

I also love the deeper, more intellectual side of you. When we sit out in the car and talk for hours because there's just too much happening. I know that I can count on you to be there when I need a realistic point of view. When I need my heads out of the clouds, if you will.

Life can be changed in an instant, but you're the one thing that has always been consistent and for that alone I am grateful.

Thank you for being my best friend. I love you.

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?

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.
