An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend

It's been years since we've talked, but I wanted you to know that you were on my mind.

An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend
The Huffington Post

Hi old friend, how are you? We haven't talked in years and I wonder how you've been. Do you still love the things you used to? I hope you are doing well, even though we will probably never see each other again. I want you to know that I still care about you, and always will, because you were such a big part of my childhood.

I hope that you are loving life the way you did when we were carefree kids. I know that life is difficult and you may not be having the easiest time, but I pray it hasn't been too difficult. I think about what you are going through often and wonder how you are doing. After all, at one time we told each other everything and were inseparable.

I hope your new home is treating you well. It's weird that I no longer know where you live, because we lost touch. I hope your house is full of new memories and holds as many cherishable moments as the house that built you did. I miss going over to see you and knowing exactly what we would do. I miss playing with you and growing up right by your side. I miss knowing every small detail about you.

I hope you never forget who you are and the experiences that made you the person that you are today. You were so special to me at one time, and you still are, because you are a big part of my childhood, which determines the person I am today. Without you, who knows what kind of person I would be. I may be stricter without knowing your more liberal heart or I may have been less kind because I didn't have you in my life, since you were always full of crazy adventures.

I know that I am no longer in your life, but I want you to know that I think about you often. You were always so special to me as a child and I would like you to know that I still care about how you are doing. Likewise, if you ever need anything, I am still always here for you, even though we have been apart for so long.

I miss talking to you and having our adventures together. I still don't know why we drifted apart, but I know that it is a fact of life that at times it is unfortunate. Sometimes drifting away from people is for the best, but for you, my childhood best friend, I believe that it was just an unfortunate circumstance.

Whatever happened that separated us happened for a reason, but I just wanted you to know that I was thinking about you. I wish you the best in all of your endeavors and I want you to know that if you ever need anything, I will always be here, no matter what, just like how it used to be.

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.

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.
