An Open Letter To My Best Friends

Thank you for being you.

An Open Letter To My Best Friends
lumelle

Dear best friends,

First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for never judging me or how I am so different from you two. Thank you for never looking the other way, even though other people did. Thank you for being my guardian angels when I had no one to look after me. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulders when I had my heart and I thought my world was ending. Thank you for looking past my imperfections and sticking with me through out my hardships.

I know that despite our many differences, I can always count on you both for anything. No matter the situation, big or small, you’re only a phone call away. These past few months have been roller-coasters, but with you two by my side, it seemed like walks in the parks. You two make life a little easier, and you definitely make it a lot more enjoyable.

It’s pretty terrifying how you two may know me better than I know myself, and you always know how to cheer me up. Whether it’s our 2AM Denny’s trips, or us just sitting in my living room eating leftovers and cuddling with my two dogs, you both always have the remedies for my sadness. You understand my personality more than anyone, and you know my sarcasm is only sarcasm. I don’t quite understand how I came across such wonderful human beings, but I’m not going to question this gift to me.

I hope one day you both find men who will love and appreciate you just as much as I do. I hope they look at you both with such love and care it makes your knees weak. I hope that along the way to true love, you realize how much you both deserve nothing less than the best.

Also, I want to say I’m sorry. I’m sorry that although it is 2016, racism is still a real and prevalent thing. I’m sorry that people can not un-see the color of our skin and how we look. I’m sorry that despite our strong love and friendship for each other, people will only see that we are not the same. I’m sorry that we live in a world filled with such hate and animosity towards people who are not the same color as us. And although it is not my fault, I’m apologizing on behalf of all the people who stare at us when we go out to eat together, hang out, or even speak of each other. I know that it can be hard having people judge you, but I’m glad that this never got in the way of our friendship.

Again, thank you. Thank you both for being more than just my best friends, but my sisters. You two believed in me when no one else did, and are the epitome of what true friendship is. I hope that you both see just how much I love and adore you, and wouldn’t want any other best friends.

All my best,

Your best friend

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:

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.

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.
