How To Be Best Friend Goals
Priscilla Sullivan

So, everyone is constantly asking my friend Hannah and me how we do it, how we're just the goals of friends everywhere (honestly, it gets tiring sometimes).

I sat down with Hannah and we put together a little list. So, here's the answer for all our fans out there. Here's how to be best friend goals:

1. Skip the honeymoon phase

Just get straight to the weirdness - ugly snaps and too much information. I mean there's no point in holding back if you're going to be the best of friends.

2. Be together all the time

You're going to have to go everywhere together. Like to the point that if someone sees one of you on your own, they ask where the other one is because they are thrown off. Be together even when you aren't together physically/geographically - FaceTime is a thing.

3. Share everything

Clothes, food, makeup, beds, all of it (but especially pizza).

4. NAP

Nap together. Let me tell you, the level of friendship goals increases a ton when you can nap together.

5. Be a package deal

If someone asks one of you to do something, it's a given the other one is coming too. Duh, no questions asked.

6. Watch the same TV shows

So you can binge watch together while you're avoiding the rest of the world because everyone else sucks.

7. Have shared playlists

Trust me, it makes pregaming so much easier and way more fun (We have one called pre WHAT pre GAME and it is truly incredible).

8. Read each other's minds

Know exactly what the other person is thinking or going to say before they say it.

9. Be able to have a conversation without actually saying any words

Eye contact is key. And it really freaks people out too which is always fun.

10. Just make sure everyone and their mother knows you are each other's person

If you are genuinely best friends, it isn't that difficult. The vibes are usually given off immediately and everyone just gets it.

But in all honesty, I am so lucky to have the best friend I have, and I couldn't really imagine life without her.

There is no rule book on how to be a best friend. There are no lists or directions or manuals in existence that can tell you how you and your friend should be, this list included. But if someone came to mind when reading this, please please cherish them, and realize that you, too, are very lucky to have someone so special in your life.

Friends are important, don't forget to tell yours just how important they are.

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.
