How You Feel When You're A Jealous Best Friend

I'm definitely that person who gets jealous when my best friends make new friends, but I promise I don't make them choose me or them. We all get a twinge of jealousy when OUR best friend starts to make new friends especially while away at college. They meet all these new people without you and you wish you were part of the entire thing. You then continue to make it known that they are and always will be YOUR best friend.

1. When you start to see your best friend making new friends without you...

2. You see the following of Twitter, Instagram, and the Facebook adding...


3. When they post that first tweet about them...

4. Then comes the first Instagram/Facebook post about them...

5. When you start to worry and question if you're still best friends...

6. You start to get clingy and your best friend goes...

7. But you just want them to remember that you're their best friend...

8. When new friends see your guys' jealousy...

9. When they hang out with their new best friend 24/7...


10. Then when they try to include you in plans and you end up like this...

11. When your best friend tells you that they have plans that you can't be a part of...

12. When your jealously actually begins to annoy your best friend...

13. But eventually you both come back around and know that you'll never be apart forever...

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.

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.
