An Open Letter To The Best Friend I Haven't Seen In Awhile

Best Friend,

They say that if a friendship lasts for more than seven years, it is likely to last an entire lifetime. Thankfully, we have way more than seven years of friendship behind us because otherwise this distance between us would worry me.

It has been months since we have seen each other, and as each day passes, it gets harder to not see or talk to you. I am so incredibly happy that you know me as well as you do, because it is exactly when I am most sad that we haven't seen one another in such a long time that I receive a text or Facebook message from you, which brightens my entire day. It's hard, going form seeing you every day and talking to you constantly, to only seeing and speaking to you on occasion.

Sometimes, I find myself looking through the photos on my phone, searching for the endless amount of selfies you have left on it in order to relive our glory days and the crazy things we did together. And boy did we do some crazy things. Remember the time Shelia had a flat tire? That memory always makes me laugh. Sometime I watch videos I recorded from the Fall Out Boy concert we went to last spring, because it was the best concert I ever say. And when I am the most pathetic, I stare into the mirror making pancake faces (you know what it means) while thinking of you.

While this time apart has been hard, it's also been somewhat of a blessing. It is true, what they say, that you don't know what you have until it's gone. Not that you're gone. It just feels like it sometimes.

My goal of this article isn't to make you sad. I just need to express how I'm feeling about our separation, not only to you, but to other who can understand and are experiencing the same thing.

It's also an opportunity to talk to others about how proud I am that you are my best friend. My roommates, coworkers, and friends at school know so much about you because I am constantly talking about you and the things that we do and have done together.

This dry spell between us is also hard, because no one understand me like you. You know every one of my secrets. And it's hard not being able to tell you about every aspect of my life or to hear everything about yours.

I can truly and honestly say that I miss you so much. I can't wait until the next time I see you again. I love you Little Baguette.

Love,

Your Best Friend

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.
