Dear One Who Noticed,

Thank you for the times you have spent with me recently. I understand that just a few months ago my name was foreign to you and you never imagined knowing me. I know that the last thing that you pictured was holding me when I cried at 2 AM, but you did it. I don’t think you ever imagined laughing about dark humor and discussing the meaning of life like we have done.

Thank you for protecting me from myself. I am not always the smartest and you hold me accountable for every minute you miss and every minute you enjoy with me. You have become like a sister and not by chance, but by love. Also thank you for being the one who noticed that I was different and that I was in need of someone who cared about the workings of my brain not just about who I was on the surface of it all.

Thank you for noticing that I needed a friend to laugh with. Thank you for spending dinners and lunches with me, and studying partially silently in each others room. I never realized how much I needed someone until I had you in my life. As time grew on I felt as though you were like a sister to me. If I needed someone, I could call or text you. If I am sad I text you and let you know. I know that you were just being who you are, but who you are is amazing and inspiring.

In just a few weeks you have made my life better. In a few weeks you have given me a reason to want to be better and a reason to stay at school. I had such a hard time adjusting to the new life at school and having a friend who knows the inner-workings of my brain is uplifting. Knowing that when the anxiety or depression hits if you aren’t busy you will be right by my side and that is something that I am not used to.

Dear one who noticed I just want to let you know that you are loved for noticing my need. You are loved for being the one who loves people so much that you were there for me as much as you could be. I love you because you took the time to show me who I am is okay and will mesh with anyone who really cares. Dear one who noticed you took time out of the day to notice a little timid girl who was anxious beyond repair and for that I will forever be grateful.

Sincerely,

The girl who needed a friend.

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.
