An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend

Thank you for being my person.

An Open Letter To My Long Distance Best Friend
Amanda Merrell

Dear Best Friend,

I remember the day we met like it was yesterday. I knew from that day on that we were going to have an amazing friendship that was going to last a very long time. From our shopping trips to our dinner dates, movie nights to late night drives, we've always had the best time together and laughed until we cried.

I miss our memories and our random adventures. I miss hanging out with you after school, going out to eat at our favorite restaurant and going home and binge watching Pretty Little Liars until we fell asleep. I miss staying up late and sharing our deepest secrets and biggest regrets, but most of all, I miss you.

Now we're several hundred miles away from each other and things are changing. We've both made new friends and new memories, and we don't communicate as often. But one thing remains the same- we still have each other’s back.

No matter how far away we are from each other, I know that you are still my best friend. If I ever need advice, you're the person I go to. If I never need to complain or cry, I know that you're the person that will listen to me. You're the person that will stay up with me at ungodly hours of the night and talk about life with me. In other words, you're my person.

I'm so thankful for our friendship and all of our memories. Whether we go four days or four months without talking, we can always pick up where we left off. Thank you for being my person and staying my best friend through the distance. No one can ever replace you. I love you, best friend.

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.
