To every girl who has helped me along the way

A "Galentine's" Love Letter
Tumblr

To my best friends, my girlfriends, my rocks, both at school and at home. Thank you for everything you do for me. Thank you for the endless and inside jokes. Thank you for the late nights on weekends and the early mornings made better because of your text messages and snap-chats. I feel as though my boyfriends have always gotten all the credit, and while they often deserved it, you've been there during the fights, the break ups, the doubts. You've never left my side.

To my friends at school: I'm so happy to have met you (or to have rekindled our friendship at school). Thank you for bringing me candy when I was too sad to leave my room. Thank you for hanging out with me at all hours of the day. For all the shared meals and shared memories. For walking to CVS, the Milkshake Factory, pretty much anywhere and everywhere with me. For supporting me in my classes and my decisions. For becoming my family so quickly when I was away from home. My life here would never be bearable without you. I never knew I could form such a close bond in a matter of weeks. I will have your backs always and I can never thank you enough.

To my friends back home: Thank you for being so supportive of me and my goals. Thank you for being so excited for me. Thank you for believing in me. I will never forget the things you've done for me. I would never be the person I am today without you. I love how I can go without seeing you for months and when I come home, it's like I never left. You've always been my family. You've been with me through it all and I can never repay you. I could never repay you for the sleepovers and the kind words through break ups and divorce. I can never replicate the crazy weird things we'eve done. Throwing parties for our dogs. Driving eight hours in one day to see one concert. Late nights. Early mornings. You are my childhood and I owe my future to you.

To my family: To my sisters and my mother. Thank you for being a literal family through the trying times when our family was hardly a family at all. Thank you for bearing with me while I figure out who I am. Thank you for watching me and helping me grow up. I look forward to every break and every weekend I get to see you all. I know the time we spend together has decreased as we've all gotten busier and I've moved away but you will always have such a special place in my life. Every "I miss you" text, every minute we get to spend together means the world to me.

To every "gal" in my past, present and future who have never let me face the world alone, thank you. You have made me strong, you have made me confident, you have helped me get by.

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:

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.

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.
