Dear Best Friend,

I am so sorry that I left you. I am so sorry that I chose a college that is not an easy day trip to visit. I am so sorry that I am not able to see you or talk to you every single day like we used to. I am so sorry that we can’t have spontaneous trips to get coffee, Panera, Taco Bell, or to the movies. I am so sorry that I am not home anymore, and we can’t just stop by at each other’s houses late at night anymore just to say “hi” or to spend the night when we need a break from our families.

Even though we are far apart now, I want you to know how grateful I am to have met you. I am so thankful you walked into my life, became my best friend, and have stuck by my side through everything. Thank you for loving me, for who I am.

I miss you more than words can describe. I miss staying up all night talking, going to 10pm showings of kid’s movies, and seeing your gorgeous face every day at school. I am so happy, though, that despite me being so far away from you, we can still call each other crying when something goes wrong, and we can facetime each other to tell the other great news that we couldn’t wait to share.

You mean the world to me. I honestly don’t think that I could survive on this earth if I hadn’t met you. We have our differences sometimes, but we rarely ever argue and I am forever grateful that for once in my life, I have someone that is so easy to get along with, it feels like you are another version of me.

I thank you again, for just being there when I need you, listening to me when I have to get something off my chest, hugging me when I cry, taking care of me when I am sick, and just simply existing in my life, making it 2 million times better.

I love you.

xoxo,

Your Best Friend

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
