When Friends Grow Apart
Odyssey

Dear Old Friend,

I thought about you today. Wondered how you were doing. I almost went to your house but decided that I shouldn't since it's been a few years since we've talked--let alone seen each other. I figured you were too busy with your family celebrating your brother's graduation. How is he doing? Still the football star? He's probably going off to some amazing college to play. He was always so talented at the game. Anyway, I'm doing well. I actually went back to school. I know I said a billion times that I didn't want to, but I have a dream and a purpose that I could only fulfill by getting a degree.

I was thinking about some of the old times we had together. You know, like when we would hang out in your room at your parents' house and watch movies and listen to music. I remember when you would do my makeup and hair before church on Thursday nights. I even remember that time you had a Superbowl Party at your house. It was nice to be among fellow Broncos fans.

I really don't understand why we stopped talking. It seemed like things were going well for us. We didn't fight that much. I thought we had a good friendship going on for us. I told you my story; you told me yours... then all of a sudden, you unfriended me on Facebook and just stopped texting me.

I'd really like to know why, but I'm too afraid to ask you, worried that the reason is as simple as we were in different places, or maybe I'm scared that there really is a big reason why and you just don't want to tell me.

I hope you're doing well and just wanted to say I miss you and maybe someday we will see each other again.

Yours Truly,
An Old Friend

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
