To My Friend Transferring Colleges

I'll miss you, but I understand.

To my friend transferring colleges next semester,

I feel as though there is nothing else to say that fits what I'm feeling besides "I will miss you so much". You have been such a large part of my college experience thus far and I am not sure what the future will look like there without you. When I met you during freshman year I knew that I had found a "forever friend". And that certainly will not change with this transfer (thank God for Skype and Snapchat, right?).

It will be hard learning to go to someone else with my problems; you were my go-to. Who will I get pizza with at 2 AM? And watch Netflix with for four hours instead of doing homework? This isn't to say that I don't have any other great friends at college, but there are no other "yous".

I know that this move is the best possible option for you and that it must have been an excruciatingly difficult decision to make. I am so happy that you have found a place that will be better for you. I hope that it turns out to be all you want and more. You deserve nothing but the absolute best, you gem.

I am so thankful that you will only be a few hours away, though. I cannot wait to take some weekend road trips to see your new life and meet your new friends. You will do great at your new school--I know you will (because you always do). You will excel at school and find your niche, and your new college is just the place to do that. It will be the perfect fit, I feel it in my bones.

I cannot wait to see you thrive in a new setting. I hope you know that I expect updates about major, and minor, life changes (when you have time, of course). I do not want to lose this friendship we built in such a short amount of time, but I believe in us.

I am sorry that our college turned out to be the wrong place for you at this point in your life, and I wish that I could have done something to make you stay. But I know that you did not choose this lightly; that it is what you felt you wanted and had to do. I understand that.

But I'll miss you. I will miss seeing your face around campus and the humor you brought to any situation. I will miss your hugs and your smiles on my bad days. But I know that you will only be a Skype call or text message away.

Good luck on your new adventure, friend. I will cherish every moment we had together, and cannot wait to make new memories in your new home.

And just so you know, I am also only a Skype call or text message away.

Sincerely,

Your friend from your first college

P.S. Don't forget about me, please.

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.

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.
