Here's To The Friend Who Walked Away
Amy Ruschen

Dear Best Friend,

I wish you the best - I honestly do. No matter where we end up in life, I will always have nothing but happiness for you. I will have nothing but love for you and positive things to say about you. I will be in your corner for all walks of life. Even if you don't do the same... Even if you walk away and never look back...

I spent years building a friendship with you, we made memories, we said we would be "friends forever." After several years, you walked away from all of that and you haven't looked back. We had a tiny little fight and you gave up, but I still think about you everyday.

I hope that you are successful in all areas of life. I am rooting for you to achieve your goals and live out your dreams. I wish you the best in your relationships and new friendships.

So, just know, I forgive you for walking away and you will always have a place in my heart.

There is not a day the goes by that I don't miss you and wish that you would pick up the phone and talk to me. I see what you have been up to on your social media from time to time. I look through old pictures of us and hold tight to those memories. I really try not to be bitter and hateful to you for walking away. I pray for you daily and I pray that we can somehow fix what has been broken.

We used to talk about having kids together, drinking wine on a random Wednesday night, going on trips together, and always having each others backs. We planned out the next ten years of our friendship - and now that is all gone. But, I do have this to say to you: I still hope you enjoy becoming a mother and that you get to have wine nights whenever you please. I hope that you find the joy of traveling all over the world. Most importantly, I hope that you have someone to be there for you when you fall, someone to support you, love you, and have your back one hundred and ten percent.

You have moved on, made new friends, and left me in the dust. It's hard for me and I wish I could rewind to the way it was. Whatever happened between us changed our friendship. Maybe I made a mistake, I dropped the ball, I hurt you, and I apologized. You did with that apology what you pleased -- But it wasn't what I expected. Whatever lead us to go our separate ways hasn't been mended and you show no signs of wanting to mend it. You shut me out and disconnected with me. I understand that you were hurt and now I am hurting too -- I will let you be and root for you from afar.

When the time comes, that you MIGHT want to talk, I will be here. IF you come back around, I will welcome you with open arms. We will have a lot of things to work through, but just know that you are worth it. The memories I made with you are worth the work to fix this beacuse I love you, friend.

Love,

The Friend That Won't Give Up On You Yet

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.

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.
