To My Support System Of The Best Friends Ever
Huffington Post

Have you ever made what feels like the hardest decision of your life? You know, those decisions when you cry every single time you think about it. When you think of those times, do you remember your friends telling you everything was going to be okay? Do you remember them telling you that you were doing the right thing?

I do. Lately, I feel like everything I do is a big decision. But some decisions are hard, and you wish they just would make themselves. Every single time I make a decision, big or small, hard or easy, my friends are there texting me. They're checking in on me.

Every single time I make a hard decision, I know I'm going to make it out okay. I know that they are there making sure I know what I'm doing, even though 85% of the time I have no idea what I'm doing myself.

I've never been so grateful for a group of people who weren't my family. Now don't get me wrong, my family does the exact same thing. They check in, and they help me in my decision making. I'm extremely grateful for them and their help.

But sometimes, having friends who just make sure they let you know that you're doing great and life is great and everything is going to be great is the best feeling.

There is a special place in my heart for those friends who make the hardest decisions seem a little easier. Those are the friends who tell you that you did the right thing, even though you're second-guessing everything you thought about. Those are the friends who support you in good times and bad because they know you're going to kill it no matter what you do.

We all need this support system, away from our family. Our family is always going to tell us it's going to be okay. So will our friends, but it's just a little different.

We all need those people who will laugh with us, cry with us, put us up, and put us in our place. We need those people who will drink one too many drinks with you but still tell you to take a shot. We want those people who will bring you whatever you want when you're sick, sad or hungover.

Here's to the friends who love us, hate us and support us. To the friends who tell us we're a boss ass bitch or just a straight up one: you're awesome. To the people who have insured me on every right decision I've made: I appreciate you.

Your support means more to me than anything else in this world. Thank you.

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.
