Until We Meet Again

We never talk anymore but you will always be my friend.

It’s funny how a year ago we were laughing and smiling about the future. Our plans for college, our moment for freedom and our promise for change was just in reach.Do you remember, how the teachers could not contain our excitement of getting accepted into colleges? Do you remember the fear you felt talking to potential classmates online? Do you remember how you were battling back and forth as to which college fits you best? Most importantly, do you remember ever mentioning the future and plans for us?

I remember the promises we made to each other as we shopped for our bedding together; how we would stay in contact throughout college.How when we came home for breaks, we would meet up with each other in person because it’s been so long. Whatever happened to those promises? Why did the text messages never get replied back to? Why did we suddenly drift apart?

There is no one to blame as to why we no longer talk. I am sure you are as busy socializing with your new college friends. College is so much bigger than high school and I hope you are constantly meeting new people everyday. I hope you are pursuing your passions or interests in college. However, I hope you have not forgotten about me. Sometimes in the strangest moments I remember your humor in someone else’s joke. Other times I can see part of your personality in my college friends but what really gets me is when I start looking for you in the passing crowds of people.

I miss you. We have been through so much already like enduring my sucky parking jobs. You were there and stuck by me when I went through the phase of wanting curly hair so I got a perm (once in a lifetime!). You would cry on my shoulders when you broke up with your boyfriend and screamed in my ear when we tossed our caps into the air.

Nowadays all that I ever see of you are the filtered moments captured on social media. I see that you have joined clubs, decided to give guys another try and came out of your shell a bit. The memory of us quietly bonding over us against the world seems like a different life. As you travel with your new friends for spring break, know that I will be watching to make sure you do not do anything stupid.I know you are happy and enjoying college but I also know that the stress can get to you. I know that sometimes you want to be left alone and enjoy the company of yourself. It’s the small stuff like that which took time for me to realize and understand. In which case, I hope you find friends who can truly get to know you and the small stuff that makes you tick. As much as I want to believe that our friendship meant as much to you as it does for me, I can only hope. Just know that I am always here for you and will always consider you my friend.

For life is like a rollercoaster of twists and turns and we’re all on the same crazy ride.I wish you the best of luck and most of life.

Until we meet again my 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.

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.
