To My College Family The Tough Times Brought Closer Together
Haylee Olley

To my College Friends (Well, my second family),

I can't describe or even begin to explain how much you mean to me. This past semester has been rough for all of us, and weirdly, it's brought our friend group so much closer.

I'm so thankful for every one of you even though sometimes, I don't seem like it. I wanted to thank each of you individually for getting me through this rough semester.

I love you all so much.

When I came to college, I was terrified of making friends when in reality, I did not need to be scared. When I first met Paige, she welcomed me in with open arms, and we've been attached at the hip ever since.

Paige, thank you so much for having my back. Every day is an adventure with you, no joke, and I couldn't ask for a better friend than you. Thank you for always having my back and being the best friend and older sister to me that I could ever ask for. I love you so much.

Jimmy, now its time to roast you. Just kidding, in all seriousness, you are my best guy friend. I thank God for Paige introducing us because now we cause chaos together!

Thank you for always supporting me, and being the older brother I've always wanted. And thank you for being my shoulder to cry on. I love you so much.

Brooke, my first roommate (we won't mention the other) I miss you so much. But you've always had my back from the beginning, even though we fight sometimes, we always make up in the end.

Thank you for always being there for me, and I promise to still be there for you. I love you so much.

Nat, my former roommate, meeting you was a blessing and a curse...just kidding. You are my absolute best friend, and I don't know what id do without you. Thank you for being my rock, and keeping me (kind of) out of trouble, I love you!

Becca, I have been graced with your presence this semester, and there's no one else I would rather insult. Thank you for being the greatest freshie and friend that I could ever ask for. And I can't wait to see what next semester brings--I love you!

But in all seriousness, I have many friends on campus, but these individuals have gotten me through the darkest moments in college. So to you, five, lovely individuals.. thank you so much for everything.

Here's to many more years of laughter and friendship...thank you so much for everything. I love you

Love,

Haylee

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:

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.
