Dear Childhood Best Friends,

I miss you everyday. Our friendship never stopped, we just stopped seeing each other… and I regret that. I still think about you often and the memories we shared.

You taught me what friendship should be like at such a young age, and I am forever grateful for that.

I had the best 8 years with you, and I will never forget the time we spent together. You made the bad times good and the good times better.

You saw me through my most awkward stages, we grew up together, and didn’t judge me for it because we were in the same boat. Thank you for that.

I’ll never forget the laughter at the lunch table, recess, school dances, sleepovers, the birthday parties, and obsessing over our first crushes.

I’ll admit, elementary school was a hard time. I lost so many friendships along the way, dealt with ‘mean girls’, always got picked last in gym, went through puberty, and was never the “cool kid.” You stuck by me through it all. I am forever in your debt.

We geeked out over High School Musical, Hilary Duff, Zac Efron, and Silly Bands. I wouldn’t have wanted to do that with anyone else.

I want to say thank you for all of that, but I also want to say I’m sorry….

I’m sorry for not keeping in touch after we promised we would.

Sorry for all of the missed birthdays, holidays, and special occasions.

There were countless times where I didn’t call, and I’m sorry.

I regret not ever making plans to hang out over break. Our friendship meant the world to me, but life happened.

I’m sorry for letting all of the good times slip away….

We went to separate high schools and then separate colleges, and we branched out and made new friends. While I made some of my best friends in those years, I never forgot about you or the fun times we had.

I still consider you a friend. We never really “broke up” or fought, we just lost touch.

You were someone who knew all of my secrets, and knew everything about me. You kept those secrets to yourself, and respected me for who I was.

I look back at old pictures and yearbooks, and have a huge smile on my face because those were some of the best and happiest times of my life. I also look at them and my heart aches. We promised we would be in each other’s lives forever, and never miss a moment. But we lied to ourselves.

I used to know what you were doing all the time and what you had planned, but now I have no idea where you are or what your future holds, and I’m sorry for that…..

All I can say is I hope that your future is bright, and you have lived a happy life. I hope one day we can reconnect because I miss you.

I hope that we can reconnect at each other’s wedding because we always said we would be there. You might not be standing with me on the aisle like I thought, but just having you there would mean the world to me.

We could pick up where we left off because that was how our friendship was…

I love you and I always will.

With all my heart,

Britt

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.
