An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Memories that have faded away

An Open Letter to My Middle School Best Friend

Dear Middle School Best Friend,

It took me awhile to write this, as I have to remember the blurred memories we had together. From the times we played uno on Tuesday and Thursday (which I still play, and now became addicted) to that time we did stuff together on 8th grade field day.

But, that is not the topic of this letter. It is mostly what happens afterwards. We started to drift apart from each other in a way that I wish we never did. I send you message after message on the site we agreed that we would message each other on. Day and months go by and no responses. Years go by and we have grown apart. Messages are left to be responded to months later. Questions are still left unanswered, and I continue to wonder, where did the friendship go?

I honestly do not know where things went wrong as all of my friendships seem to fade away into nothingness. Even to this day, I question if my former roommate and I are still going to be friends. I mean you said we would never lose touch, but we faded away from each others lives. How would history not repeat itself again? I guess that will continue to be a part of my anxiety and nightmares that I wished that I never felt.

I would message you on tumblr (because I found it) but I think we have faded away so much that I think you won't remember me anymore, mostly because I have changed too..

From,

Your Middle School Best Friend Matthew..now Mat…

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.
