Friends Are A Crucial Part Of Our Lives

Regardless of where we are in life, old friends always make us nostalgic.

Friends Are A Crucial Part Of Our Lives
Sam Manns

Most of us are emotionally very dependent people, we may not come across as dependent people but everyone wants to have that one person they can confide their innermost secrets. A person who becomes a link between you, the family, and the world outside is called a friend.

A good friend lights up your spirits, each time you meet them you feel like a burden lifted off your shoulders because you're able to share your secrets and get satisfactory guidance. Their company adds to our joy, self-worth, and promotes good cognitive health.

During school, my friend and I shared everything about our lives with each other. We traveled in the same bus, sat in the same class, ate lunch together and lived on the same street! growing up, we always told ourselves we will forever stay together, although we were both very friendly people and had lots of other friends too, we enjoyed each other’s company the most.

By the time we reached middle-school her dad got relocated from his job to a different state, we were both disappointed and cried a lot!

After their move, we lost contact with each other which made us both sad. I felt lost, lonely, and depressed. I was always looking to build that bond with other kids in school but it just wasn’t happening.

Then a few years later something magical happened, we all got introduced to Facebook! And the first name I searched was her and she said the same thing! I cannot express how delightful it was to find her and since then till date, we have remained special friends.

With time our bond grew stronger, now we are like sisters who got each other’s backs.

Over the years our priorities have changed, we discuss our career paths, college classes we motivate each other to eat healthily, work out, learn to find a balance in life and constantly work on improving our lifestyle. Thinking back at those moments, it brings a smile to our faces.

However, to some, friendships are everlasting, Joyous moments with special friends are memorable and cherished till old age and don’t consist of an expiration date.

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.
