Open Letter To My Best Friend

Dear Best Friend,

Whether we met in elementary school or if we met last year, you have been the person who I know I can always turn to. You are the first person I can call when I think that my world is ending, or when I think that things couldn’t be better. Best friend, you are always there for everything, big or small, relevant or irrelevant.

Thank you for all the long phone calls where I probably cried for like 45 minutes and you just waited until I was done to give me the advice I didn’t want to hear, but knew I needed to take: Or the long phone calls when I am unsure about my future and need reassurance to move forward. We wouldn’t still be friends if you didn’t tell me the ugly truth when it was the hardest to hear. I appreciate that we are almost the same person, so I can be myself and know that there will never be judgement. You have been the voice of reason for me. Whether it was about a boy who wouldn’t be good for me or about whether or not something was a good decision.

No matter what we are doing, we always find a way to make the most of it and find inside jokes that we never let go. Even if we are watching a movie, we find a line that we could use in every conversation for the next three months, or play the same song on repeat in the car. Then send each other ugly snapchat videos of us singing our favorite part of the song. Thank you for not screenshotting my really ugly-faced snapchats.

Most of all, thank you for showing me what it really means to have a best friend who never lets me deal with life alone. Thank you for all the laughs, memories, and making the bad times better. No matter where life takes us this fall, I know that I have a friendship that will last a lifetime. Even though there will be miles and miles between us, FaceTime and our daily ugly snapchats won’t let our bond become broken, even though we will make new friends and build a life for ourselves in our new homes.

I love you and thank you for helping me become the person that I am today.

Love,

Your best friend

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.
