Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Noelle Grassel

My Dearest Friend,

I know that we constantly express our love for each other, but I want to tell you how incredibly lucky I am to have you in my life. Despite living thousands of miles away, you never fail to be there for me when I need to go on a ridiculous rant or need a shoulder to cry on. I trust you with every detail of my life and know when I text you saying, "B**ch, you won't believe this," you'll eagerly answer, waiting to hear what I have to say. In all honesty, without you, my life would be a lot more boring.

Really, though, who else can say they have a best friend of five years who lives in Florida that they've only met once? No one I know -- I can tell you that. Never did I think we would become as close as we did in such a short amount of time, nor did I think you would fly all the way up to New York to meet me. After a long five years, being able to see you in the flesh compared to my phone screen was such an amazing feeling.

Brandi, I hope you know I appreciate you and everything you do for me. I think I can truly say that you are the only person that has never annoyed me, and I have never had anything to complain about when it comes to you. Instead, you're the one I go to so I can complain about anyone or anything, knowing you'll either calm me down, straighten me out, or agree with me. The best part about our friendship, and what I appreciate the most, is you do for me what I do for you. There is no one side to our friendship, it is a clear two way street that we both actively participate in. I know I may be a terrible texter sometimes, but you know if you really need me I will answer in a heartbeat. I know I can count on you to do the same. You have saved me from so many awkward situations just by answering the texts I send you, have I told you that? Thanks by the way, otherwise I'd look like a loner half the time.

Your visit to New York made my summer the best one I've had in a while, so thank you. You know I had a rocky start to the summer, so finally meeting you and getting to show you NYC, attend a Coldplay concert, and go to a Yankees game was exactly what I needed. Despite you dragging me around the city to see graffiti that was no longer there in the sweltering heat, I was the happiest I had been all summer.

To sum it up, I'm so grateful to have the privilege of being your "Bblonde Italian best friend" (even though neither of us are actually blonde). You truly are the best (see what I did there)? Our five years of friendship was nothing compared to the six months we waited after you booked your trip. Even through the periods when we didn't talk all day, you still were considered one of my best friends. I'll see you in December, and I can't wait to book my trip to Florida. Here's to many more years (and flights to see each other).

All the love,
Your long distance 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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
