My Forever Friend

She was one I knew for a fact would be a lifelong friend, a forever friend.

My Forever Friend
Allison Jordan

In life, there are a few different chapters you go through. Some of those chapters are rough, some are smooth sailing, and some are like a crazy rollercoaster ride (which may give you whiplash). If you are lucky enough, you will have a few good friends along the way that will take on a chapter with you. If you are REALLY lucky, you will have a few that will start and end multiple chapters with you. And then if you are REALLY REALLY lucky, you get to meet some amazing people that will leave a lasting impact on your life that will make those chapters tough to leave behind. One of those chapters for me would be high school, in particular, the summer before my 11th grade year...

August 7, 2010. I remember it as clear now as I did back then. I was sitting in Wendy's on a hot summer day with one of my friends when I heard that someone had been in a car accident, one of my best friends. I didn't believe it was her, I couldn't believe it was her. I called her phone and she didn't answer so then I called her mom... She didn't answer either -- it couldn't be true. I called my mom and all she would tell me was to come home right away... it was true.

Long story short, the months following that day were the hardest... on everyone. It was like a domino effect, things kept getting worse. I guess that's how the saying goes, things have to get worse before they get better.

Though that chapter in my life has come and gone, I wish she could be here for the rest of my life chapters. There are some friends that you know are only short term friends, ones that you know wont stick around long. She wasn't one of those friends. She was one I knew for a fact would be a lifelong friend, a forever friend.

She's a friend who left a lasting impact on everyone she met. I think about her everyday and I miss her terribly. Until I am lucky enough to see her again, I'll be forever thinking about my forever friend.

Here is a link to a short video I made in 2010 about her, My Forever 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?

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.
