An ode to my friends

Friends, How Many Of Us Have Them?

Friends are great! They provide lots of laughter and entertainment for the days you are feeling joyful. They also provide comfort and advice for when you are sorrowful or in a sticky situation. Some friends are fair weather, we call those associates. Then there are those friends who are their for you no matter what, we call those our brothers and sisters. Your brother and sisters don't have to be just biological to be considered your brothers and sisters. We calls these types of friends "siblings by heart".

It took me until my last couple of years of high school to realize who my true friends were. Some people say that if you find one good ,true friend, you've found a treasure that most people spend their whole lives trying to find. Luckily, I found a few of them. They are the types of people who are not scared to tell my the truth, whether I want to hear it or not. They are also the type that, no matter how many mistakes I make ( sometimes the same mistake) they are always there to console me and pick up the broken pieces. I feel very fortunate to have them be considered as my "sisters by fate".

My Challenge To You: Tell your friends you love them because it really is a blessing to have them.

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.
