It’s OK To Not Have Found 'That Person' Yet

Although many college girls hope to become best friends with their roommate or someone from a school organization it is OK to not have created that bond right away. Girls can be a handful when it comes to choosing friends, which makes it harder to connect physically and emotionally with someone. They are quick to judge and assume certain aspects of a person based on looks and style.

Freshman starting college usually hang out with their group of friends from high school that went to the same college as them making it harder for others to join in on their group activates. They eventually feel as if they are an outsider to the group making them feel alone and miserable. Without having a person to turn to, it can be hard to coup with the struggle to make friends in the process.

Don't give up so fast. Everything takes time and the more patient you are with yourself and the ones around you, the more you'll see that certain people just like you are all around campus.

You are not alone.

Personally, I am one of those individuals that have yet to find my "person", someone I trust with every secret, every conflict, and every joke. I have a nice group of close friends that I enjoy spending time with but I'm aware of the fact that they have other best friends they rather hang with before me. I am OK with that. I have come to the conclusion that I am my own best friend. I make choices myself that benefit me in the best ways possible.

Focus on yourself rather than changing who you are for someone else just to make friends. You are amazing the way you are and you should be proud of that.

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.

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.
