I Can't Imagine My Life Without My Best Friend

I honestly don't know what I'd do without you.

Many people take pride in having several friends. Don't get me wrong, I love having multiple friends. However, there's something about having that one person in your life who you can call your best friend. This person makes your life better in so many ways. They are someone you can always depend on. You look out for each other. You have inside jokes that have gone on for years. You push each other to believe in yourselves. This person, for me, is my best friend Mary, and this letter is for her.

Mary,

I'm so glad that God put us in each other's lives in 7th grade, and I've had the best time ever since. You've accepted my shy personality, and I am so grateful for that. I've always thought that people wouldn't really want to take the time to get to know me because I am pretty quiet, but you accepting me for me has definitely helped me to grow and believe in myself.

Thank you for helping me create some of my favorite memories. From all of our sleepovers to Facetime calls that consist mainly of uncontrollable laughter, we have the best time! You always work hard to bring us together (even with our busy schedules and going to different schools). I think my favorite memories from the last 8 years come from our late night movie trips. Going to the movies is super casual, but we somehow make it one of the funniest occasions.

I am so grateful to have a best friend who inspires me. You are incredibly influential and encouraging. Your determination to educate others on important topics like politics and mental health makes me so proud to call you my best friend. I am constantly learning so much from you. You put your heart and soul into everything you do. You put others before yourself constantly. You are talented in so many ways, and I cannot wait to see how you use your talents in the future.

I can't imagine not having you as my best friend! I know I can always count on you to lift my spirits and push me to live my life to the fullest. I can't thank you enough for you just being you. You're the absolute best.

Love,

Shalise

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
