You are more than my best friend. you are my person

A Letter To My Person
Inquisitr

Dear Best Friend:

I never thought I would be friends at first, much less "my person."

We started simply by going to Starbucks after school and talking about our situations on the Broadcasting team. Those afternoons soon turned to nights where we would talk about anything. You knew my darkest secrets, love life, and even small things that amounted to bigger things in the broad spectrum of things. Us driving around soon became known as "Carpool Theraoke," because that is precisely what they were.

We had so much fun just driving around Slidell and talking about life, and what would become of it. It was in those sessions that I saw people for who they were and even looked at myself in a different light.

At the end of summer 2015, I went off to college and you stayed in Slidell to tackle on your senior year. However, when I needed you most, you were there to somehow ease the pain of freshman year. But the cool thing was, whenever you needed me, I was there, too. We balance each other out, and that's why you are my friend for life.

We've seen it all together, from bad relationships, to crap Starbucks drinks, to familial tragedies. Your family has become a part of me, and I am eternally grateful for that. Through it all, I know you have my back, and I have yours, too.



As the summer of 2016 winded down, we faced the inevitable. Soon, you'd be leaving to your dream school in Texas, and distance would be a factor in our friendship for the first time. Even as we said our goodbyes, I knew that I had something incredible to look forward to in a few months, which I do. There's just over a month until you come home, and I cannot wait.

I've heard it said that "you only get one best friend in your life." Well, Madi, that is you. Even now, as we pursue our collegiate endeavors 468.5 miles away from one another, you have to know that you are still my person. You are the Lane to my Rory, the Sookie to my Lorelai, the Ann to my Leslie. In short, without you, I don't know how I would tackle on this crazy thing known as life. you will be my maid of honor, my future child's godmother, and so much more. For now, distance may keep us apart, but mileage is only a number. No matter where we are, I know that you will be there.

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.
