Some people are lucky enough to be given best friends for life. I was one of those people. My best friend lived down the road from me for most of my life. We would do everything together. Actually.

We had daily bike trips and movie nights. Going a day without her was rare. We would laugh every minute we were with each other. Every important thing that has happened to me, she’s been with me. Through every heartbreak or failure. She was there, despite how much I didn’t listen to her advice.

Until she told me she was moving, to another state.

The day she left me was one of the worst days of my life. I had to adjust to seeing her once every 3 months instead of once every 3 hours. To make everything worse, she was going to California for college. She was actually going to be across the country.

I was so sure we would lose touch and never speak again.

A few years later, we still talk every single day. I count down the days until I get to see her again.

I was so lucky to be given this person. She is the most loyal and amazing human. She has stuck with me through thick, thin, and everything in between. She’s the first person I call when anything happens. She is actually my other half. I’ve never met such a purely incredible person.

Nothing makes me happier than hearing about how successful my best friend is at UC Davis. I am so proud to call her my best friend.

Long distance friendships are hard. Very hard. But, what’s harder is losing the most important person in your life. The memories I have are worth more to me than anything. Long distance friendships suck, but I wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world.


It’s hard to express how grateful I am for you, Sydney, but thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for being in my life. Thank you for being you. No matter how many miles away you are, you’ll always have a special place in my heart.

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.
