A Letter To My College Friends As We Start Our Second Year Together
Sam Scherer

We have under a month until we return to our beautiful campus. A lot is going to change for us. Some of our friends have left and now it is just us. Some of you are about to graduate and leave the rest of us behind. So let's make it a great year.

Well for me, it will only be half a year. Since I am going away, I wanted to let you all know that it is very bittersweet to be studying abroad. Believe me, I am super excited and cannot wait to see more of Europe. But it does make me sad that I will be leaving all of you behind, even though it is only 15 weeks. I hope that you guys have fun without me though and know that this will not change a thing about our friendship.

I already cannot wait to be back from my little adventure so that I can be reunited with all of you. That may sound bad, wanting to come home already and I have not even left yet, but it will be weird going to college without you guys will there to join me. That will be strange if I am being completely honest. I will not be able to come back to my room and have one of you be there. Instead, I will be sharing a room with someone I do not even know yet. You will be living with my stuff in your room, but not me.

I look forward to our weekly video chats and Snapchatting every day (have to keep those streaks up am I right?) from wherever I am. But this first semester is going to go by quickly and soon I will be back with all of you, getting ready to start our second semester. I am already so excited for that to happen it is not funny. It is going to be awesome getting to live with my best friends. We will be together all the time and it is just going to be great. I already know.

To my friends that are going to be seniors, we only have 15 weeks of college left together. That is crazy. It is hard to imagine that that is it. After that we will no longer go to college together. I hope that when I get back, we make the most of our time together because it is going to go fast. And then who knows what will happen. That is sad, but it is the truth.

So to all of you, my friends, I hope that you do not have too much fun without me. While I cannot wait for my European adventure, I cannot wait to be back with you. With the time we have together, let's make this second year even better than the first.

Love,

Your friend

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.
