For The Besties Who Know The Struggles Of A Long-Distance Friendship

Your best friend, most of us are blessed to be able to have them close by, maybe 15-20 minutes away. Then there are some of us who have good friends who live super close by but we also have an absolute best friend who we talk to almost every day whether it's texting, calling and facetiming, whatever it may be you two talk all the time but you haven't actually been able to meet each other.

Long-distance friendships can be rough… there will be times when you just want to be with them and vise versa but you just can't be in that given moment because of a couple of hundred miles between the two of you. This makes it hard to physically be there for each other during both the good and bad times.

What I think is personally the hardest is when you are going through a really, really tough time and you can't physically be there to comfort your ABSOLUTE BEST FRIEND… that's the moment that gets you choked up and makes you feel completely helpless. That's your best friend and you can't do anything to take away the pain and suffering.

Yes, long-distance friendships have its downsides, but it also has its upsides…

1. You have someone there to constantly talk to via text and phone

2. You two have an epic meme collection

3. Because you two cant personally meet each other's family, you have them all on social media! (Yes she is also friends with your mom and asks how she is every time you guys talk, and YES YOUR MOM LOVES HER TOO!)

4. You two may not be able to spend a lot of time together, shoot, you two may not have even met yet but, that just makes the time you two do get together and will get together just a bit more valuable.

If you and your bestie have a long-distance friendship, know that you two are kicka** because this is not for the faint heart. You two have a bond that is unlike any other.

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.
