An Open Letter To My Best Friend

There is no one I rather live this crazy life with other than you, Darby.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Dear Darby,

We are exactly 758 miles away from each other currently. Crazy, right? You've been my friend for multiple years, and our friendship will only continue. I am writing this because I know you're going through a rough time in life, and just know I will always be there for you. Even though I am a couple states over, I miss you more every day. Weird how one day you and I are having the times of our lives at different frat parties, or missing Juicy J because something... came up, and the next we are FaceTiming wishing we were able to hang out. You and I will always make the best out of every situation, and I know this will make us grow closer.

We first met in high school, when I was only a sophomore. I was on junior varsity while you were on varsity. We didn't become friends instantly, only gradually. By the way, I always thought you were such a great dancer. We remained friends until the summer going into my senior year. That's when we became best friends.

When no one else was down to go to that 90s frat party, you knew I would be down. You took me to my first frat party. Pretty sure we both had the times of our lives that night. We continued hanging out consistently, and it truly felt like it was you and me against the world. We made funny vines, we invented, "Madison and Darby 2013", and we were the only girls I knew that could hang in COD zombies.

Years and years have gone by, and I continue to reminisce on the holidays where we would carve pumpkins and mine ended up looking like an apple tree instead of some dope mushroom, when I brought my cat, Kiki, to your family Easter celebration, and when we went to Newport for spring break. There is no one in this entire world I would rather call my best friend than you.

Looking back on all our adventures makes me tear up...just a tad. You've been there for literally EVERYTHING. From the bad times, to the good. We go from head banging to Excision, to crying over boys. That's okay though. There's isn't anyone I would rather share those moments with than you.

At night when I get ready to go out, all I can think about is having my best friend here with me. I wish you were doing this with me, but just know you and your family influenced me to be where I am today. Once I finish this year of college, you will be graduated. That is such an amazing accomplishment, and I can't wait for you to be there one day watching me walk. We have a whole life ahead of us, and I am glad we are in this together.

Madison and Darby 2013—forever. I love 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.
