An Open Letter To My Friends

Dear old friends and new friends,

Life is a spiraling motion that can't stop, but with the help of you I can slow down that spiraling. Good things and bad things have been happening lately and all I can think about is the ones who have gotten me through it for all these years. As college is coming to an end, and the real world begins lots of decision are going to be made, but I want you all to know that they are being made with the helpful insight from my friends.

I never doubted any friendships that I have had in my life. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and those friends that were put in your life are also there for a reason. Friends are there to teach you and support you, and you guys have definitely done a fair share of teaching me and supporting me.

To my new best friends (my current ones),

Thank you for never turning your back on me.

I know I am hard to handle.

Thank you for crying with me.

And laughing with me.

Most importantly, laughing at me.

Thank you for being spontaneous with me.

Thank you for being honest with me.

Even when I didn't want to hear it.

I have so much to thank you for that the list would just go on and on. You guys have really helped shape the women I am becoming and I don't give you all enough credit.

To my old best friends,

You taught me so much.

You taught me how to trust.

You taught me how be true to yourself.

You taught me how to manage my time better.

You taught me how to laugh through the hurt/embarrassment.

You guys have been with me the longest. We survived high school together (barely). I know I could call you up right now and have a totally normal conversation, like no time as passed at all. Thanks for sticking my by side through the good and the bad years, when we were both trying to just find ourselves, and figure out who we were. You will always have a special place in my heart, and those memories will always be important to me.

I'm just thankful to have some of the best old friends and new friends combined.

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.
