A Letter to my Best Friend

Thanks for being the Dwight to my Michael.

A Letter to my Best Friend
Lani Vanlandingham

Dear best friend,

I haven’t known you my whole life. I didn’t even meet you until a few years ago, but that’s okay. Sometimes you annoy me like no other. Sometimes I can’t stand you. But still, every day, I look over to see you right beside me. You're the peanut butter to my jelly, the sunshine to my rainy day, the chocolate to my Snickers, and the Dwight to my Micheal. I simply couldn’t, and wouldn’t, be here without you.

We have had so many great memories together, such as staying up for 2 days straight, watching nothing but Harry Potter, and not sleeping until we watched every single one of them. Often times, we call each other and talk about nothing else rather than how cute that one boy looks. We never pretend around each other. I can feel completely like myself when I'm with you. I can call you at 2 in the morning and just cry through the phone, and you would still be on the line.

You have helped me through so much. No matter what it is, you are ALWAYS there. And I love that about you. You never make me feel stupid about my mistakes or get angry when I'm a little witch to you.

But I want you to feel just as safe with me. I want to be the first one you go to when you have problems. I always want to be the shoulder you have to cry on. I don't want you to feel like I'm only there when something is wrong with me.

You make me laugh so hard I'm crying. You make me question whether the sun is not really the moon, and if the color yellow is really green. You are just simply you. So thank you.

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:

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.

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.
