To My Friends From High School

High school was high school. Life now during College and after can never compare.

Life was simpler in high school. Going to a small school and having such a small class we couldn’t imagine ourselves being inseparable right? I guess things change three years later and we don’t even talk anymore.

Contrary to popular and other people's beliefs I do blame myself for what happened, but it’s too late to turn back now. There are just some things I really wanted to say that I didn’t get to say in person.

I want to thank you all, each individually for having some part in shaping the woman that I am today and for being my best friends. I grew in my faith which got me through my first year of college. Thank you for the laughter giving to me in those tough times in defeat. Thank you for being the person whom I ran to at 3 a.m. with tears in my eyes.

The dance circles we created at every dance and prom along with the sleepovers and binge watching of movies and talks about boys. Those happy times are unforgettable along with those bad times as well.

When we went off to college we became so engulfed in our own worlds that we grew apart. Our frequent texts turned into “I’ll talk to you later”. Our “I’ll talk to you later” turned into “I’ll call you back tomorrow”. Those “I’ll call you back tomorrow” turned into silence. I can’t pinpoint the time I felt myself change but it happened and I don’t regret it.

Could things have ended differently? Yes. Could I had expressed my feelings a little more during that hard time during freshman year of college? Yes, but it felt like you didn’t care so it was easier for me to walk away.

There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t feel that regret of our friendship ending, and I wish I could change it but at the same time I can’t continue to live in the past. High school was high school. Life now during college and after can never compare. I am at a point in my own life where I feel the happiest and content.

I am very proud of the people that you’ve become today. It makes me happy to see each of you so successful and happy with what you’re doing. I just hope that you guys understand that the same goes for me. Though I’m not the one you come to talk to when times are hard or during your happy times, I do genuinely wish you all the best.

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.
