Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. - Philippians 3:13

Dear Ex Best Friend,

To begin this letter, let me start by saying that this is not written in deceit. I have chosen to write this letter to make sure you know exactly how I feel about you, us, and our once upon a time friendship. I am grateful for the memories, I have used every lesson you taught me, and I will always glorify our friendship.

When you have a best friend, it is easy to get caught up in spending every second together. Sharing clothes, going on trips, eating meals together, and never spending a single second without texting and snap chatting are the best parts of friendship. Ours was nothing less than that. We went everywhere together, we spent hours crying about miscellaneous things together, and most importantly, we cared immensely for one another. I will never regret a single second of any of it.

I am not really sure how our ending began, but something in my gut just didn't feel right. I tried hiding it, but it became bigger and bigger. I can't think of what the trigger was, and I honestly don't think we could have done anything to stop it. I just know that after a few months of trying to resuscitate a dying friendship, we had no choice but to accept the fate.

Regardless of the awkward encounters, and the disagreements, I think we both knew that it was for the best. We made amazing memories; ones that I will cherish and love for the rest of my life. You were my rock, my support system, and my very best friend for years and I couldn't say "I'm sorry" enough.

Though we don't talk anymore, and our encounters are few and far between, I want to make sure that it is clear that I am still supporting you. I may not show it, but I know that you are doing big things. I hope you understand my position and we can have a mutual respect for the space we have taken from each other.

I will never undermine our memories and I will always pray for a happy and healthy life for you. Even though we can't be best friends forever, I am indebted to you for the friendship you gave me.

With support and love,

Your Ex Best Friend

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.
