To My Gay Best Friends

There are some things that straight people just cannot understand.

To My Gay Best Friends
nancydowd

In honor of National Coming Out Day, I’d like to thank my two gay best friends. I have been out since 8th grade but I never felt very comfortable about talking about my sexuality until I met you two. If someone would have told me that the girl I met on the bus or the weird kid who completely overwhelmed me at my RAP meet up would become my best friends I would have called them insane. I would say that I ditched the girl in Target to get food and the boy would make other friends and wouldn’t want to hang out with someone like me. But then what I thought was impossible happened; the girl texted me asking to hang out and the boy ended up sitting next to me in one of the classes we shared. Not only did we become great friends, but you both inspired me to be more comfortable with myself.

Seeing how confident you both are, showed me that maybe I could be more confident in myself too. So, I stopped ignoring my feelings and started confronting them head on. When I was having a hard time, you two were there to listen or joke about it, making me feel better in the process. You put up with my crap when I came out to other people and assured me that it would be okay.

Now, I can proudly say I am Bi- and Demi-sexual and maybe a bit more. Now, I can joke about being invisible or how much of the LGBTQIA acronym the three of us together make up. It is nice to finally be able to talk about how frustrating my sexuality is with people who understand what I am talking about and to be reminded by those people that it is not all that bad.

So, thank you for the late-night dinners, trips to Boston, fried cheese, and the gay jokes. But most importantly, thank you for both being the amazing humans that you are and inspiring me to be myself.

Love,

Your Invisible Best Friend

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.

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.
