How You Know When Your Friends Are Family

There is a distinct difference between friends and best friends, but after a while best friends turn into more. Once you have been through hell and back, or just survived the torrent of high school drama together, you're more than best friends. Here are a few signs that your best friends are actually your siblings.

You walk into their houses instead of knocking

You know the code to their garage

They always defend you even when you're wrong

But they won't let you forget that you were wrong

You not only borrow their clothes, but also their mom's

Or their dad posts pictures of you on facebook with the caption "my daughters"

They drive insane distances for you, like visiting your college

Sharing the same bed is a given

Cuddling is also never unexpected

You have more bad pictures of them than good ones

You absolutely berate each other on social media, in person, and through text

They know how to make you laugh in seconds

And know when to let you cry and when to tell you to stop moping

Your conversations are filled with memes and facebook links

Their food is your food to nibble on

When you're over their house you don't feel weird asking for food

You probably just grab a snack from the cabinets without asking too

You. Share. EVERYTHING. Lipstick, clothes, shoes, phone chargers, jewelry.

Your favorite nights are ones filled with heaps of Chinese food and awful Netflix flicks.

Of course you also watch the same shows together

They'll let you know when you look awful, and know exactly what you should change into

A majority of the stories you tell have them in it

The "are you looking cute or dead?" text is answered with dead 90% of the time thankfully

They go completely out of their way to help and support you whenever they can

They're your #1 fan through it all

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.

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.
