An Open Letter To My Girl Squad

Girls, you know what I am talking about.

An Open Letter To My Girl Squad
Carly Halitzer

I ask myself very often, where would I be without my girls?

The answer: No where near the place I am at right now.

My girls are some of the people who I hold closest to my heart and I never want to let go of. Even though now we are experiencing life at different paces and trying to figure out where we belong in this crazy world, I know I can always count on you all to have my back.

Being over 1,000 miles away from home is harder at sometimes than others. In times where I just need my girls, it is extra painful. I may not be able to say it all that often, but I love you and have no clue what I would do without you in my life. I try keeping you updated on all that happens as if you are living through these experiences with me-- because I wish you were. Experiencing things like making a new friend who would fit in just great with us, going out on a friday night, or crying from the boy who just broke my heart is not the same without you here. I wish more than ever that I had you here by my side experiencing it all.

The memories we have made throughout the years I hold close to my heart. All my new friends know about you and our stories as if they lived it with us. Not a day can go by where you do not cross my mind. You have impacted my life and left an imprint on my heart.

Even at the worst of times, I always knew I could count on you to have my back. I never had to face the darkness alone; you were always there to help guide me along the path.

I am counting down the days until we can have crazy adventures together, doing plenty of things we probably should not be doing; but that is what making memories is all about. Spending restless nights and days on end together is all I have been looking forward to.

My life with you has made me feel complete and I never want to even imagine what life without you would be like.

One day when we have our lives together, with our own families, I hope that we can carry out traditions that we have now for our kids in the future. I can not wait until the day I see you get married to the love of your life or hold your first born child in your arms. You have been in my life up until now and I plan on keeping you around for as long as we live. We have stuck by each other's sides through the ups and the downs; that is something that will never change.

Thank you for being the light that guides me through this dark world.

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.
