To The Friends I Lost Contact With After High School

I do not hate you, but I do not miss you.

Most people lose friends throughout their lifetime, and I am a huge believer that people come into your life and out of your life when you need them. Throughout high school I had a very close friend group, our friend group was like no other. We established the friend group in second grade and continued being friends until we all went our separate ways for college.

If you would have asked me in high school I would have said these people are going to be my friends forever, little did I know that was not the case. It is crazy how true everyone is when they tell you that after you graduate, and are not forced to see your friends every day, how they will slowly drop off.

As most friend groups, mine stayed in touch the first semester of college we would talk about our struggles, experiences, and we would even talk about how excited we are to see each other when all of us are home for Christmas break. We made plans to see each other when Christmas break rolled around, but even then it wasn't the same when we were together in person. Day by day my friends and I lost touch consumed with the new lives we had made for us.

Today, I think back on the memories we share together and they make me happy. After all, it was a time of my life that I will never forget. I hope that you are doing well, and even more than that I hope that you become successful in life. I hope that you are happy with whatever it is that you are doing.

A part of me hates to say this, but I do not regret losing touch. The friends I had in high school were great friends, and the memories we have together I will always hold dear to my heart. The sad thing about growing as a person is you outgrow the people who you never thought you would. I know that I have grown a lot as a person since high school, and I would hope that you have too.

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.
