I Already Love Living With My Gal Pals At College

Dorm life is always better with friends.

The years that people spend in college have a large effect on their lives as a whole.

As they learn and study in their classes, they begin to think differently about their own opinions in a deeper way. One detail that affects a person's college life is their living space, specifically the other people who live with them. For my second year at Longwood University, I am living with some of my best friends in a dorm, and I am incredibly happy to say so!

Making friendships is one of the main things that people encourage young people to do in school. Over the past year, I have found some of my best friends in my roommate and two other girls we met as time went by. One advantage of the four of us living together is that we know each other's moods. We have seen each other grumpy and/or sleepy after studying a huge pile of homework and laughing to the point of tears over memes that either make no sense or relate to all of us at once.

Another amazing thing is that we are comfortable with everyone in our suite. We live in a triple suite this year which surprised and almost concerned us at first, but when we finally met with our other two suitemates, we found life in a triple to be better than expected. All of us have the freedom to be comfortable around one another, and I think having that frame of mind in a study space that should be comfortable to start with is the best a person can ask for.

My favorite part of living with my friends this year is how the physical amount of distance helps us stay updated with each other's lives. If one of us has exciting news, we only have to go next door to celebrate rather than go up one floor or meet up at another dorm entirely.

At the end of the day, I could not be happier about my living situation this year.

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.

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.
