An Open Letter To Some Of The Greatest People I've Met

Perhaps it's time for me to show a little bit of appreciation

An Open Letter To Some Of The Greatest People I've Met
Huffington Post

Throughout this week, I’ve had the opportunity to hang out and catch up with some of my best friends. Of course, there was lots of food involved. If not, it wouldn’t be a hang out, right?

Although it’s only been three weeks of my new college life, it has felt like an eternity. I missed these individuals so much! The amount of talking and laughing we both did brought memories and a sense of home. Now, I’m taking a math class where one of them isn’t there to help me through it. I no longer walk into my first class with a familiar face. There’s no more random distributions of food in the classroom or hallways when we’re all starving. So reminiscing about these days have brought us even closer together.

My friend Dulce reminded that even though we’re considered adults, a good laugh while eating fruit with lots of spiciness and pretending we can dance to a Wii Game is something that we will always need. Her and I are basically comadres and the conversation never ends.

Then there’s Natalie who together we’re always eating our feelings out with Chipotle or Panera. We tend to remind ourselves that even though there’s so much stress in our lives, a good parked car conversation always keeps us grounded.

My love, Diana, who I can always call and we’ll cry together over sad movies (blame "The Fault in Our Stars" for this tradition). We’re accepting of the fact that we’re crybabies, and we blame the movies itself for being so sad instead of us for being so emotional. Of course, our traditional food is ice cream, butter pecan to be exact. Although we always add some other kind of dessert and perhaps Wendy’s when we feel fancy.

Julissa is the most adventurous out of all of them. From deciding to join a Zumba class that day of the week and halfway through calling it quits to singing One Direction from the top of our lungs although we can’t reach Harry’s high notes (yet we still try).

But when it comes to the most dedicated fan, that goes to Isa. I’ve never met a more dedicated person when it comes to celebrities. I’m always being lectured on how great Fifth Harmony is and her traveling around the States. Even though she’s younger than I am, I aspire to be like her.

I have so much love and appreciation for these human beings. They’re making life not suck as much, and all by encouraging me to keep going in their own ways. So if any of you are reading this, I love you.

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.

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.
