Dear Best Friends,

As this semester comes to an end this means I have thought more and more about you guys. Three whole months together, then five apart. Its never been easy but especially this time for some reason it seems even harder. Between the mini vacation, and working with each other almost every day, and random trips to the beach, Target, and The Border Cafe (because we are addicted to Mexican food.) This summer was definitely one for the book. Though it had its ups and downs, I would trade my time home with you guys for anything.

This summer tested us it tested our relationships, it tested us at work (Because we are technically the glue that holds that stone together.) and finally, it tested our friendship! I don't think I would have been able to get through this summer if it wasn't for you to being there for me and reminding me everything is going to be okay! I also don't think I would have gotten through the summer if it was for Larissa mom Joann and her making pasta for us anytime we asked. or making me chicken broth when I was on that god awful liquid diet!

Leaving you guys behind stinks! though you guys don't always see it because I only Snapchat all the fun I have. The truth is I miss you all like crazy. I even sit in my room contemplating why I chose to move 1,200 miles away. don't get me wrong I love this school I love my friends I've made here and everything I have experienced but this place will never be my home because my home is where you guys are!

I'm sorry for Factimeing you guys 1,000 times a week. just know that every time I call you its either because I think I just met my future husband (which is probably not the case), saw something or did something that reminded me of you, or because I just miss you and I am extremely jealous you guys get to experience college together without me. its almost as if I have this whole other life and you guy aren't apart of it, and I wish so badly you were. (The reason why I nag you guys to come to visit me 99.9% of the time).

I just want y'all to know that I think about you guys every day. I'm sorry I am missing out on college with you guys, but know that I am always here and will ALWAYS pick up the phone when you call. I LOVE YOU, MAMAS

Your forever friend

19 Lessons I'll Never Forget from Growing Up In a Small Town

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
