To The Friends I've Lost Touch With Since High School Ended
Cassidy Burger

It's been nearly a year since I've graduated high school and quite a bit has changed in my life. I couldn't be happier that high school is over and that I finally get to move on with my life. However, just because I'm happier now doesn't mean it hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies. Moving away to college means that you're not going to see all of the people that you've seen everyday for years. We all know this, but it doesn't really hit a nerve until you've actually arrived on campus and have been there for a few weeks. Once the excitement of this new life of yours dies down, you start to realize how different your life actually is.

First, I'd like to say that moving away for my education was something that I needed to do. It was something that I knew would be beneficial for me, and as cheesy as it sounds, I knew it would help me grow, and it has. However, with all of these amazing new things in my life going on, it doesn't mean that there haven't been some losses along the way. There are some people back at home who I haven't stayed in touch with, which is definitely on me. It's not that I haven't wanted to stay in touch, it's just that I haven't been the best at checking up on some of the people who I spent my time with in high school.

Maybe it's partially because I've been trying to leave high school in the past. I know for a fact that sometimes it's because school is kicking my butt and I haven't even thought about reconnecting with some people. I know that those aren't good excuses what-so-ever, but I promise you that I will do the best to try to reconnect with those I've lost over the years, especially this past year.

I know that you might not be completely ready to allow me back in immediately because it's been such a long time, and I completely understand that. I just know that friendships worth saving are bigger than hard or just forgotten feelings.

No matter how many people I meet or place into my life, I'm always going to remember those who were with me from the beginning until the end of my high school career. High school was not the best time for me, so I thank all of those who made me laugh, who cried with me out of happiness, and who share memories with me that I sometimes forget but will always remember when I look back.

I promise I'm going to start making it up to 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.

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.
