An Open Letter To My Best Friend

We survived the growing pains.

An Open Letter To My Best Friend
Madison Huffman

You were there through the awkward stages and the boy crazy stages. You were there to laugh with me when awkward things happened, and there to cry with me when things went wrong. I can't express how meaningful our friendship has been throughout the years, I can only hope to paint a picture through words of how much I love you.

When we first met, I had no idea we'd become sisters. People laugh, but I'm serious when I say you're my soulmate and there will never be another friend like you in my life. The trust we've built is rock solid and something I can rely on. You're the first person I've been able to share my deepest, darkest struggles with and not fear judgement.

I only hope I have showed you the same love and support that you have shown me. I've made it my goal to always make sure you know you are cared for, that you know I'm someone you can always turn to no matter what, and that when you have nothing else, you always have me. Death will not do us part, because I'll come back to haunt you, I promise.

Not a lot of people will understand our jokes about Mexican food, or our deep love for coffee, but we understand it and that's all that matters. I cherish the small similarities we share (which is a lot, because we're basically the same person). I love that when I hang out with you, I can expect to laugh until my stomach hurts and we'll sound like dying geese together. You are my best friend, my sister, my soulmate, and the greatest love of my life all in one.

If there's ever a time we are not friends, the world will have stopped spinning because nothing could wreck the bond we have. There's nothing I can say besides thank you; thank you for being everything I've ever needed even when I didn't know it. Thank you for the donut runs when I felt like I couldn't breathe through tears, thank you for the memories of following around cute guys in the mall when we were in high school *cringe*, and thank you for always loving me. I hope you know I will always love you too.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
