An Open Letter To My First College Best Friend
Marisa Vanzant

Dear College Best Friend,

Thank you for coming up to me that day before our freshmen year had officially begun in the Education meeting. I did not know anyone there that day, and I sat alone in the back because I'd shown up late due to an honors meeting that overlapped with it. You heard in my introduction that I was a Secondary English Education major, and so were you. You came up to me and asked if we could sit together in the classes we would probably have together. To this day, we are closer than ever. As I'm writing this, just last night we had a Mario Party night.

You have had to pick me up more than once due to car trouble, and you have even picked up my fiance's van from Lewisburg when he had appendicitis. When I was in the hospital with him, you made sure I'd eaten, and you got us clean clothes from our apartment. You are literally always there for me when I need you, and you don't know how much that means to me. You even brought your cat over to save me from the mouse in my apartment. That's true friendship.

We ask each other for advice and guidance. I know you're always there to listen to me, and I hope that you know I am always here for you if and when you need anything at all. Our late night game nights and double dates are some of my favorite nights even though we stay up til midnight and I have to get up at 6 the next day. It's worth it.

Thank you for being there for me, helping me, listening to me, and picking me up with my wacky car problems. Thank you for waiting with me during John's surgery. Thank you for everything!

Sincerely,

Your College Best Friend

P.S. We do not take enough pictures together with just the two of us.

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.
