To my graduating friends,

Thanks for being amazing. As someone who made friends with people who are almost all older than me in college, the thought of you graduating already after only knowing you for two years is tough. It is something I have avoided thinking about and the time to face this reality has approached quicker than I could have ever imagined.

Despite the fact that I am going to miss seeing you all the time, I am so unbelievably proud and happy for you. This is a big accomplishment and I have been there for the last two years as you completed your higher level classes and the most difficult times of your college career. I know how challenging it was at times and that makes me even more proud. You are already moving on to some amazing things that you have lined up for post-graduation as well and I could not be happier for you.

Thank you for being such a great friend to me from the beginning when I was a first-semester freshman just trying to figure everything out and find my way. We have so much in common and we are so similar. We just clicked from the beginning, which was so refreshing compared to other people I met at the start of college. Knowing I can count on you and that you are always someone I can turn to is something I appreciate so much.

Thanks for giving me the best advice especially when it comes to school. I can honestly say that without your help, I probably would have made some poor decisions about professors, classes, dorms, majors, schedules, and other specifics of life at Rhode Island College. I have seen so many people who have no idea what they are doing because no one ever told them the ins and outs of RIC. I am so grateful that I have you in my life to steer me away from terrible professors, bad classes, etc.

Overall, I wish we were graduating at the same time but I know we will still be friends even after your graduation. I cannot thank you enough for being in my life and for becoming such a great friend. I am so proud of you and am excited to experience many more laughs and great times with you in the future!

Congrats grad!!! YOU DID IT!

Love,

Danielle

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.
