Why Our Hometown Friends Are The Best Friends
Kendall Harper

You've known them since Pre-K, you may have started out not as friends or you may have instantly become friends. Our hometown friends are the best, best friends to have.

As I was leaving my senior year of high school I was positive in thinking that my best friends would stay the same when we all went our separate ways. And it did, for the most part. We grew up, got busy, some got married, some bought their own house, some got engaged and then there was me who was just busy with school and figuring out what I am doing with my life.

Our phone calls and texts became less and less frequent, and we only stayed in touch through social media. I know what the title says, but I'm going somewhere with this I promise. We reconnected one day and it was like we never missed a beat. We started talking about our lives and how we were doing, our stressors, and our hardships. Your hometown best friends are the best friends because even though you may part ways, they still are there for you.

Now I will be honest with you, not every best friend you had in high school with be with you after you graduate. You will grow apart, and you will want different things. To be honest, it's worse than a relationship breakup.

But, you will grow up and realize what you want in a friend. You will find those friends in college. You will realize what you want in a friend because you have your hometown friends as a base friendship. Your first best friends are the best friends.

It's great getting older with your grade school friends and talking about memories, old classmates and who is doing what. It's beautiful to have your best friends all your life. I still have a few of my friends from grade school that I talk to on a regular basis but don't get me wrong I know there are several friends from high school that I don't talk to on a regular that if I called them up they would answer.

Did you know that having friends is linked to your happiness? That's why the crabbiest people are always the ones who don't have many friends. Now again, I also don't have many friends but nothing cures a bad day like talking to my best friends. Cherish your best friends from high school, because even when you have graduated trust me you will still look back on that friendship.

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.

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.
