Even If Growing Up Means Growing Apart, You Should Still Always Make Time For Your Friends

Someday you'll grow apart and start to live your lives, but you'll always remember your best friends.

Growing up you make some amazing best friends that have been there for you through everything. They are always your go to, your person, the people that you can just drive around the corner to go see whenever you need someone. You can't even go a week, let alone maybe a day without seeing them or talking to them to know what's going on in each others life. They are always the people you text when you have a day off and want to go shopping or get lunch. So when you finally all reach the point you need to do what's best for you, these relationships start to grow apart.

It's heartbreaking thinking that your best friends are growing into their own lives and soon you won't see each other every day or anytime you wanted. My best friends mean the absolute world to me and I don't make any decision without talking to all three of them first. They help me through whatever I'm dealing with, every single issue they've all been there helping me in whatever way they could.

We are all growing up and making our decisions for our lives. One of my best friends is finally going away to college, the other is a full time student and working 2 jobs, and my last best friend is in nursing school. I couldn't be any prouder of them and I hope they get everything that they want out of life. They all deserve the world and so much more, and I wish I could give it to them.

When you spend so much time with these people and do everything with them it seems like moving forward without them isn't possible. Even I think what am I going to do without them when we are all busy with our own lives. There's so many ways to keep contact with your best friends. You can face time them and think of all the vacations that can be planned to all see each other ( as long as all of your schedules work out together). Growing up and growing apart doesn't mean you have to lose the relationship completely. My best friends will always be my best friends no matter where we are in life or even in the world.

Yes, it sucks growing apart. But these are things that everyone needs to do. They need to do what's best for them and as a best friend all you can do is support it, 1 mile away or 1000 miles away. They can still be the people you call with the most important news or just to call because you miss them. They can still be the biggest part of your life, just a little drifted away as we settle into our adult lives. Soon each of us will have our own husbands, families, careers that we will be so busy, but no matter what we will always make time for each other, even if it's just a silly thing as face timing all night.

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.
