For The Girls Whose Friends Are Everything

Sometimes, you're lucky enough to find your soulmates in your best friends

The concept of friendship is a funny thing. You meet a person, you each use syllables and words in such a way that an emotion of happiness is created, and subconsciously you both make a decision that this human is one you'd like to interact with on a frequent basis. Because you enjoy their existence. Spelled out, is that not a little strange.

Sometimes, the concept of a "friend" has been hazy and filled with questions of the genuineness of actions. It's been proven to be a notion of fantasy, much alike to the Prince Charming fairy tales of our younger years. Were we not also spoon-fed images of The Perfect Best Friend

Sometimes, if you're lucky, you will find others who illustrate to you every day what friendship truly is. At first, you might be hesitant, you might evoke feelings from the burned bridges of your past. But these girls are different, they make you feel prioritized, feel important, feel a part of. And you feel the feelings of love requited through the late nights of laughter, tears, broken hearts, and the times you've all drank too much.

Sometimes, you get protective. You want to see them prosper. You sometimes think, am I their best friend or their boyfriend? No man will ever meet the laundry list of criteria and the ever-climbing bar of expectations you have set for those who want to date your friend because...well, no one can. Your future plans begin to include the various vacations, milestones, and memories that will be made. With your future husband? Oh, no--with the girls.

Sometimes, your mind wanders to the time when you will all be scattered around the globe, pursuing dreams, careers, families, and all undoubtedly taking the world by storm. You think about how this group of women has taught you more about compassion and concern for others than any relationship you've ever been in. You might avoid these thoughts because the idea of being apart from your people brings you a world of hurt.

But you know the love you all share is strong enough to withstand graduations, relocations, weddings, and the like. Because as Sex and The City says, "Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with."

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.
