An Open Letter To My Best Friend Who Moved

To my forever best friend,

I never thought the day would come when I had to say goodbye to you. I knew it was coming for along time. I am so proud of you for chasing your dreams and having the courage to move five states away for school. However, I never intended on the pain that would follow your departure. It is extremely hard to wake up everyday and know that I will not see you. I miss you so much that I cannot put it in words, but I am going to try my best to shine some light on just how much you mean to me.

You have taught me so much; like what it means to be a good friend and how to be there for someone in the hardest of times. We have been through so much together just in the past few months that not many people can say they went through together. I stuck by your side and was there for you as best as I could be. I know deep down in my heart that you appreciated every hug, text and phone call.

You also taught me not to be so narrow minded. You taught me to never judge others because we do not know what they are going through. You made me into who I am today and I cannot thank you enough. I have realized what is important in life and to let go of the negativity. I’m so thankful that God put you into my life and made us best friends.

Most importantly, you taught me how to live. I cannot explain to you how much being apart of your life has meant to me. You’ve impacted me in so many ways and I am so grateful. You showed me there was more to life than how I was living it. I love you with all my heart and no distance will ever break us apart and in the words of Lance Reynald, “True friends stay with you no matter the distance or time that seperates you from them”.

Forever,

Your Partner in Crime

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.
