To The Friendship I Didn't Even Know Was Possible

Who would've thought the universe would align just so two unlikely friends could come together?

To The Friendship I Didn't Even Know Was Possible
Sarah Wagner

Last year, we were introduced to each other by our professor (shout out to Dr. Feu).

Right away, I noticed you were more on the quiet and reserved side whereas I was the complete opposite.

Getting me to sit down and be quiet is a chore.

We worked together on the Posadas event for the Latinx Club, but we didn't talk much after that.

I honestly thought you weren't going to like me because we were so different.

Never have I been so happy to be wrong.

Since we were polar opposites, I was happily surprised when we ended up becoming friends.

You are my complement personality; you balance out the insanity that is my existence.

I love how I'm able to relax around you. I'm an extremely hyper-focused, overly-energetic person, so being able to relax is nearly impossible.

Your spirit puts my mind at ease almost immediately.

Having someone who has almost the same mindset as me is so unbelievably refreshing. Nobody understands my desire for true human connection the way you do.

It seems like nowadays, nobody cares about people for who they are; it's all about immediate gratification and using others for personal gain.

Meeting you reminded me there are genuine people out there who truly love human beings for who they are, flaws and all.

You're truly a rarity people get to experience once in a lifetime if they're lucky.

On the outside, we seem like polar opposites. After spending more time with you, I realized we have so much in common!

Even better, our commonalities are things you can't discover from a surface-level friendship. Becoming closer and closer each day allowed us to figure out the weird quirks we share.

I've always been a bit of a clown, and I was always making jokes that got a laugh once in a blue moon. Not only do you understand my sense of humor, but you enjoy it and reciprocate it.

One of my favorite memories of us is when we were at Walmart making puns about literally every product we saw. Then, we busted out in a fit of laughter that probably sounded like dying elephants.

I just smiled like a huge idiot after writing that. That is my all-time favorite memory with you.

Interestingly enough, the people I expected a connection with the least usually end up being the people I connect with the most.

After everything I've been through this year, you were there for every bit of it. You knew exactly what to do to make everything better, even if it was just for a second.

No matter what kind of day I've had, seeing you automatically put me in the best mood even if I was ready to explode two seconds before.

Whether you let me rant about my situation or try to take my mind off of it, you always know exactly what to do to make everything better.

In every situation where I lose something, I always gain something better shortly after.

I may have lost a lot this year, but I gained you, and that's more than I could ever ask for.

I love you so much!

P.S. Since we both want to marry Harry Styles, let's flip a One Direction CD to see who wins!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
