An Open Letter To My Guy Best Friend
Callie Smith

Let me start by saying thank you for being friends with me period. I understand that at times it can be difficult to be best friends with a girl. As hard as I try to fight it, I'm going to have days where I am the epitome of an obnoxious female. I'll be emotional for no reason, I'll get mad cause I don't like my outfit, I'll harp on a topic for an hour straight, and sometimes I may boss you around. But for whatever reason you chose to keep me as a best friend, and I can't thank you enough.

Thank you for saving me from drama. I love my group of girl friends, truly I do. But there are some days where I can't take the drama that comes with being around girls. You're always there for me to just be able to hang around a guy and be chill.

Thank you for giving me your jacket when I'm cold. In addition to providing me with extra warmth, you have also provided me with a jacket that smells AMAZING. And thank you for letting me use your jacket without there being any hidden meaning attached to it.

Thank you for listening. Again, love my group of girl friends to death. They are there to listen to me in my times of need, but odds are they're going to give me their opinion after I'm done. Whether I want to hear it or not. Thank you for simply listening. Sometimes I just have days where I just want someone to listen and only listen. No response required. You take the time to listen to all that I have to say, no matter what you're doing. You're selfless to say the least.

Thank you for giving it to me straight. For those times when you do give me your opinion, you don't sugar-coat it. Ever. You have always told me how you really feel, and you're not afraid of hurting my feelings. And that's okay, I know you do it because you care.

Thank you for sticking up for me. You know how hard-headed and strongwilled I can be, and rarely do I allow someone to walk all over me. But for the days that I'm struggling to stand up for myself, thank you for doing it for me. No matter how much I mess up, you're the first one to intercede on my behalf.

Thank you for not being afraid to tell me when I'm with the wrong guy. It is as if you have a super sense when it comes to guys I date. Whatever your first opinion of the guy is tends to always be right. You know what I deserve and wont let me accept anything less than the very best for myself. Thank you for pointing out when any guy is less than what I need.

Thank you for putting up with people always saying we should date. I know it can be annoying and super repetitive: Y'all should totally date, You two would be so cute together, Can y'all just date already... But at the end of each day, we just have a special friendship full of love and support. A friendship that takes a lifetime for some people to find.

Thank you for being my standard when it comes to who I want to date. You are my example for the traits I want to see in a potential husband. You are giving, compassionate, funny, athletic, and get on my last nerve in the best way possible. I admire who you are as a man, and hope that one day I can find a husband that is special in ways similar to your own.

Thank you for protecting me with your life. Whenever you tell me that you would do anything for me, I know that you mean it to the fullest extent. If I ever need anything, I know you would help to the best of your ability. If I'm hurting, you're my shoulder to cry on. If I'm in any danger (physically, emotionally, or spiritually), I know you will put yourself in the way to protect me.

It is safe to say you have changed my life in so many ways, and each way is for the better. I am beyond blessed that God placed you in my life for all these years, and don't know where I would be without you in it. You mean the world to me, and no one could ever take your place.

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.

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.
