Friends, or not-so-friends anymore

An Open Letter To The Friends I've Lost
Huffpost

Hi friends, well maybe not really friends anymore...

You come to a point in your life where things need to change. You cannot keep doing the same thing over and over; things need to change, you change.

Over the years, we've spent so much time together; who would've though that only a few months into college we would all be so different? However, here I am, different but you are still the same. It is okay to change, you need to change. Change is good. But when I change and mature and you don't, it becomes catastrophic.

I'm sorry guys, I love you from the bottom of my heart but too much is different. You may be older, and in your second year of college but it gets to a point when I realize that I am no longer in high school and that things have to change. I have moved out, I live at college. It is on myself to make sure I do adult things everyday like eating, laundry, and cleaning. Yes, I receive phone calls from my mom and dad as a reminder, but it is not the same. I needed to grow up and change to fit my surrounding and new lifestyle.

I really do miss you, you were my best friends, my go-to, but I've realized that sometimes you need to let go when the pull is too strong. Thank you for the fun times and all the memories, but you are gone now. I remember the late night, silly adventures, but the thing is they are in the past and so are you. Sadly, like many people I know from high school, you never left; all the drama that happened still rules your life, when there are bigger and better things in life than high school. There are so many better and new times to have, sadly that is without you guys. So thank you for the memories, I know we don't talk anymore but I hope you are alright and if you ever need anything I am here. We don't need to talk every day like we used to, but I'm not kicking you to the curb, I cared about you and still do no matter what. If you ever need anything, I'm here for you. Until then, have a nice life.

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?

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.
