An Open Letter To My Best Friend

Dear best friend,

It is honestly crazy to think that there was a time in my life that I did not know you, a time where we lived in different states. A time where you were not my best friend. Now, you complete me and keep me going through this crazy thing called "life."

Thank you for always having my back, going on crazy adventures with me, and listening to my never-ending rants. You came into my life when I was twelve years old and my life has not been the same since; it was changed for the better. You were with me through the awkward stages of middle school, good times and bad, through it all you have stood by me.

Thank you for making me laugh even when I am too sad to think it is possible. Thank you for finishing my sentences because when I don't even know what I am talking about, you do. Thank you for always giving me advice and for encouraging me to follow my dreams, even when they seem out of reach. Thank you for worshipping with me every Tuesday night because you know how important that is to me. Most importantly, thank you for being you!

My mom always told me that I would be blessed if I could say that I have one true friend. I am definitely blessed because that is you. Do not worry because I have reserved my future maid of honor spot for you and maybe even be the godparent of my future kids. I can picture it now.

Not everyone gets the opportunity to have a best friend like you, and if you do they are usually temporary friendships. Though we fell off for a short period of time, we did come back together. Other friendships of mine have fallen off but you have stayed consistent for seven years and I cannot thank you enough for that. You have truly shown me what a true friend should look like. You’re more than I could have ever hoped for.

I am so thankful that we met in summer day camp and that we were born on the same day. There is no one else that I would rather spend my birthday with, it is crazy how things happen. You were that person who changed everything for me by making my life so exciting and adventurous. I thank God for you every day and more importantly that He not only placed you in my life; but sent us to the same college.

With much love,

Your 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.

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:

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.
