To The Friend Who Became My Rock

Navigating who your friends are in high school is hard for everyone. There is so much pettiness everywhere around you and it can be very discouraging. Sometimes you feel like you are all alone. However, the best thing is when you find that one true friend you can count on. That friend deserves to know just how much she means to me.

You became my rock and my go to in such a small amount of time. One day we were just friends and then the next day you became who I could count on. You became the person I would turn to in every situation, the person I would rant to any time of day. We started to do everything together and we were okay because we always had each other. We could not have survived high school without the other person and that is a fact. You supported me and defended me in every situation. High school ending was never something I thought I would be sad about, until we became inseparable by the end of senior year. High school ending now meant we would not see each other every day and that we would be attending not only separate schools, but rival schools. I didn't want anything in our friendship to change.

The best part is though, nothing changed. In fact, if it did change it was only for the better. Throughout this summer and our first semester of college our friendship got even stronger. Through concerts, sonic rides, farewell lunches, random Facetime calls that I love every week, talking every day, rants, seeing each other every time we come home, supporting each other even while I wear orange and you wear crimson, and just being there for each other even while being 85 miles away.

So thank you. Thank you for being the person I can rely on no matter what. Thank you for being the person who calls me when college is rough and makes me laugh. Thank you for always making time to answer my texts. Thank you for being the kindest, purest, most sincere, soul I have ever met in my life. Thank you for being the best friend who turned into my rock. I cannot wait for more years of NBA games (bad luck charms), concerts, sonic rides, endless Facetimes, and just being best friends.

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.

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.
