To My Soul Sister
Mollie Madigan

To my soul sister,

Every once in a while, people enter your life that you don't think will have a huge impact on you, but then one day you look back and you're awestruck because you couldn't have been more wrong. Some people have that effect, they come in and you have no idea how much your life is going to change, and then when the change happens you're having too much fun to notice.

That's exactly what it was like with you!

I like to think a soul sister is very different from a regular sister. I'm an only child so I don't have any sisters biologically, but I have a few friends I'd consider sisters and one of them is you. I think of you as my soul sister rather than just a sister because you get me in ways that others don't and I think it's mutual for you. You understand everything I say, whether it's about school or friend drama or of course boys because it's funny how they think we're the complicated ones when I doubt they've met themselves. Like, bye. When I talked to you for the very first time I just knew I wanted to be your friend because you were the type of person who seemed to radiate happiness and at the time that's what I wanted in my own life, my own happiness. We became super close incredibly fast and it was almost as if we'd known each other our whole lives, actually being sisters separated at birth but of course that's not true since you're a year younger than me. You started referring to me as your soul sister and I guess that's when it hit me that you were one of those people who have had a huge impact on my life and I didn't notice the true extent of that impact until I looked back. A lot of my happier memories from this past year, such as my last birthday and this past summer, were made extra special because I spent them with you, especially this summer where we were working together for an entire month. Shout-out to us for not even getting close to becoming sick of each other over this summer and instead having to be separated because we needed to branch out instead of being attached at the hip. Talk about best compliment ever, am I right?

You're one of my biggest supporters and you say I'm one of yours which makes me super happy. You always know just what to say to make me feel better and I can go to you and say anything and you'll always have my back and keep my secrets. You defend me and tell me what I need to hear even if it's not what I want to hear and it's the best kind of tough love. You're the type of person that everyone needs in their lives and I'm glad I have you out of all those kinds of people in mine. I see your successes and I get beyond proud though I'm really biased so I'm likely not the best source of getting a real feel for whatever it is you've done but as the super-biased person I am you rock and I am so glad I'm fortunate enough to know you. One day you'll be doing what you love and people will know your name and I'll be there saying "I knew she'd be awesome from the start" because let's face it, it's true.

From those gross Snapchats with the crazier filters we send of ourselves making faces we'd send to maybe three other people to the inside jokes and the Instagram pictures and captions that have a great angle and the ones with a less-than-great angle (you know the ones I'm talking about), we've had more than a million memories in the short time we've known each other and I can't wait to see the others we'll make in these coming weeks, months, and years. You're one of my best friends and I love you to the moon and stars and beyond and I'll always be there for you.

Love you always,

Your soul sister.

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.
