My Best Friends Taught Me That Quality Of People Is Better Than Quantity
Srihitha

Whenever I go to hangout with my friends, I always face the question, "Do you always hang out with these people? Do you not have any other friends?" In all honesty, I don't have any other friends that I can completely trust my entire life with than my 4 best friends. But, to me, that's better than having 10 friends.

The number of friends doesn't matter because what matters is who is going to be there for you when you need them most. If you're throwing a party, all 10 of your friends might show up. But, who's going to come when you need help and you're struggling with something? It's the people who are closest to you.

My best friends have been with me through thick and thin and have never failed to cheer me up when I need it most. They taught me that there's no need for me to have 20 friends when I can have four trustworthy and loyal people by my side who will always be there for me. True friends accept you for you and it's better to have a couple of true friends than a lot of "fake" friends. These are the people who know literally everything about you and genuinely care about you.

My best friends, although there aren't 10 of them, have proved that quality is better than quantity by being there to listen to my rants wholeheartedly and always giving me the best advice. They will always run to my side no matter what situation I am in. Fake friends will always come by and leave but only the true will stay. In this case, four is truly a greater value than 10.

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.
