To My Long Distance Best Friend,

We have just said “goodbye” to each other for what seems like the millionth time, and while it slowly gets easier to part ways, it will always make my heart hurt. The distance between us is killer, but it hasn’t weakened our bond at all; it just slowly strengthens it. Our friendship has occupied a space in my heart, and I just wanted to say thank you for... well, for you.

Have I mentioned recently how much you and our friendship mean to me? If I haven’t, I’ll kick myself later. Anyway, you have been nothing but a blessing to me. From your witty remarks that make me laugh, to the encouraging words that lift me up out of a dark hole. I can be my absolute self when I’m with you, and you accept me just the way I am, weirdness and all. I don’t know what I’d do without you (or how you’ve put up with me for this long).

Have I also told you that you are an amazing human being? I hope I have. You are a huge sweetheart, the strongest person I know, and a wonderful woman of God. You are beautiful, inside and out. Girl, you are a bright light in this cruel world, and I wish more people would be like you. Of course, no one could measure up to you. Not having you physically by my side is tough.

I talk about you to my peeps here at home, and they're probably tired of hearing about you, but I really don't care, because you're just so awesome. I'll be honest: I get a tad bit jealous when I see you having fun with your local friends, but what best friends don't? Our schedules collide on top of the distance, and sometimes our communication is either brief or nonexistent. Those gaps can be rough, I'll admit, but I understand you're super busy. At least we have Facebook and Skype to fill the void.

I know it sucks being a thousand miles away, and I wish I could see you a lot more often. But you know what? This exact distance has made me realize how strong and incredible our friendship really is. If we can withstand the amount of length between us, then what can break us apart? I’ll answer that: nothing. You’re stuck with me, sweet cheeks.

I am currently counting down the days until I see you again. If I don’t think about it, the days will fly by, but the excitement is too much, especially since I have the patience of a small child. We will get there though. With you, I always have something to look forward to. I love you so much and I miss you already. I’ll see you soon, okay?

Love,

Your Long Distance Best Friend.

P.S. I may or may not have cried while I wrote this… Oh, who am I kidding? I totally did.

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.
