To My Best Friend

'Yer a peach.'

To My Best Friend
Brandi Blunk

Growing up, I always wanted the kind of friendships that I saw girls in my classes have and girls in the movies flourish with. I always wanted someone I could share clothes with and do the stereotypical ‘boy talk’ as we giggled at my house over snacks in a movie. And as it often does, life did not follow my script. I didn’t get a friend to have fun with, and I didn’t have a person to confide in. Instead, I had acquaIntances and other people’s friendships to keep me company.

However, I am proud to say that today I have become blessed with a best friend. She is there for me when I need her and always threatens to beat up the boys that do me wrong. She buys me food, touches my butt, shares my clothes, and texts me when we’re both peeing at the same time. She adds people on social medias when I need to stalk, and we have a matching tattoo. She is my person, and I am hers.

So now I get to thank you.

Thank you for saving me when I was at a low point in my life and bit rock bottom. You brought me out of my shell and helped me learn what it means to be truly happy and to let my smile shine. Sometimes, I doubt I would be alive without you at my side.

Thank you for helping me find who I truly am. For the longest time, I hated being a girl. I wore baggy jeans, white tennis shoes and big t-shirts to hide my frame and my figure. Today, I can honestly say that I would rather wear a nice top that catches my personality and a pair of hip-hugging jeans than baggy pants that fall and won’t stay up. I also appreciate my makeup collection and hair straighteners a little more... Thanks a lot!

Lastly, thank you for being the sister I never had and the best addition to my family yet. You’re there to catch me when I fall over and over again and don’t judge me. My mother and father appreciate your company, and you love them as your own, just as they love you. You’re there for my brothers just as much as you are there for your own, and if that doesn’t say something big, then nothing will. You’re even willing to marry my little brother!

You’re the perfect crazy to my sane… Or is it the other way around?

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.
