An Open Letter To My Forever Best Friends

I know it might sound cliché, but here's to being friends forever.

An Open Letter To My Forever Best Friends
Courtney Loney

High school is often a time where things fall into place. You find your clique and you stick with them. I was lucky enough to find my forever friends in high school. When I think back about how much I genuinely enjoyed my high school years, I know it was all because of these people. They're the kind of friends who I know will always be there no matter how long we spend apart. No matter how many new friends we meet, I know we'll never forget our little group. This one's for you guys.

It can be difficult to find friends who are there no matter what. Through the good times. The bad times. And even through the periods of time where you don't see each other very much. It can be hard to find friends who you can hangout with after an extended period of time and pick up right where you left off. So I consider myself lucky.

I have the kind of friends who stop by every time they're around. The kind of friends who make even a normal trip to the dollar store an adventure. I have the kind of friends who get together to celebrate every holiday. Birthday parties. Friendsgiving. To color eggs for Easter. Do secret Santa at Christmas time. And I have a feeling we'll continue to do these things until the end of time. I have the kind of friends who spend almost every waking moment together in summer, who make trips to get ice cream religiously. I have the kind of friends who make an outrageous bucket list even though we won't even get to complete half of the things on it. I have the kind of friends who make me laugh so hard I feel like I just did an ab workout. The kind of friends who struggle so hard with actually making plans and normally just end up doing something random last minute. The kind of friends who aren't afraid to act like 5 year olds. The kind of friends who support my dreams. And the kind of friends who aren't afraid to tell me like it is when necessary. I have the kind of friends who rarely go a day without talking. And for them I am forever grateful.

So to my forever friends, thank you. Thank you for making my high school experience one of the best. Thank you for being my go-to crowd regardless of anything else that may be going on in our lives. Thank you for the amazing memories from random car rides to extravagant dinner dates. Thank you for being my people. Thank you for the loads of advice. Thank you for not letting any lack of time or great distance tear us apart.

I know it might sound cliché, but here's to being friends forever because I know we can achieve that. I love you all.

“Because of you, I laugh a little harder, cry a little less, and smile a lot more."

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:

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.
