To The Friend I Thought I'd Never Lose

Dear Friend,

We both saw this coming, we fight non stop, barley talk, and we never even attempt to hang out anymore. High School with you was the best four years I could have ever asked for. You stuck by me through absolutely everything and you knew all my secrets. As time goes on though, I am starting to believe that the only reason you stuck around was because you had nobody else.

Through the end of high school, I started to become more secluded and I disappeared more often. I can understand why you stopped trying to care about where I was, or what I was doing. I have been very flaky, and for that I am sorry.

I am not sorry for who I became in all those hours I had spent alone. This is the one thing I know you do not understand, and its the fact that I had to get away in order to heal. My life is very different from yours. You have been able to deal with your life problems through helpful hands and trustworthy faces, while I have been working on myself, by myself. And you know what? There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Everyone deals with things differently and its okay. Belittling people for the way they deal with things is not okay. You scoffing at something I say and then simply stating "well its not my life" is not a proper way to attempt to help a friend.

Since we have started college, we have grown apart immensely in such a short amount of time. I would be lying if I said I was okay with it, because I am not. I am mad at you and hurt by you every single day. It is also unfair for me to solely place all of the blame on you. I personally believe that you have been so wrapped up with making a certain "type" of friend that you have decided that I do not fit that mold, and in deciding that it has caused you to draw away from me. I do not hate you or even dislike you, I just want you to see where I am coming from without you victimizing yourself. You were my best friend but now I scream at you to leave me alone. Our dynamic is off, perhaps ruined.

I will always love and care about you, but it seems as though it is time for our paths to split. Maybe someday, we can apologize for both of our wrong doings but as you already know, I am stubborn and you are passive. So maybe some things are better left unsaid.

Love, your friend

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.

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.
