I wouldn't be able to do life without you.

A Letter To My Forever Friend Who Is Far Away

You are 1,051 miles away from me, but little do you know, you are always with me because distance got nothing on us. Even when we don't talk for weeks at a time, I know you're always just a call or text away. I know you'll answer within minutes and I know I'll never be a bother. Same goes for when you call me.

Whether I'm having a bad day, a good day, or just need a laugh I know I can always count on you to be there for me. People often say retail therapy works for curing sadness, frustration or just pure bliss but I believe best friend therapy is even better. Talking to you is all the therapy I need because you brighten up my days like no other. Facetiming you on the daily just talking about our days, our school work, our drama, gossip and life fortunes always makes me happy. I love hearing about you thriving in school and at life but I always never mind hearing about the troubles you go through because I am there to help you see the better side of everything. I am here for you no matter what.

You are the most beautiful, talented, kind and caring person to have ever crossed paths with me. We met in the sixth grade and since then, not a day goes by where I don't hope and wish for your life to be as kind to you as you are to me. You are brave and courageous when it comes to living life. Before I met you, I was a shy little girl who never talked to anyone, never put myself out there, and always played life safely. You changed my life for the better. You brought out the fun, wild side of me that was begging to be seen. I kept you sane, and you kept me wild. Together we fit perfectly.

You're the only person who can read my face or mind without me saying any words. You know how I feel and what I want before I do. You give me the best advice, although I often don't listen to it (HAHA), it doesn't matter because you do the same thing. Even though we don't go to the same college, I hope all the friends you have made and make will treat you the way you deserve. You deserve the world and I hope you get it. You are perfect the way you are so don't ever change.

They say once a friendship last seven years it's meant to last a lifetime. I knew before our seven-year mark that it would last a lifetime already. You are the best friend I could have asked for or even imagined and I can't thank you enough for staying in my life all these years. You are not only my best friend but my sister.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
