To The Person Who Means The World To Me

To The Person Who Means The World To Me:

Meeting elementary you after the first day of school in the back of that rusty old school bus was the best part of my day — little did I know, it would be the best part of my life. One day lead to the next and every day was the same. We sat in our own separate seats and laughed with all our back-seat friends. Ten-year-old us had no idea what the world had in store. We had no idea where life was going to take us. Years later, we may at least have a better idea, but not much has changed.

We stood by each other's side through so many of the windy backroads of life's childhood journeys. I remember walking from the mall to the movies with all of our friends thinking we were so cool because we were allowed out without our parents, even though they had to drop us off and pick us up, but we didn't care. The day you came up with such a great nickname that it stuck, and still somewhat sticks. Our first significant others had to go through the other for approval before we made our own decision on them. The countless laughs we have together have grown from an off key sound into a beautiful song. Talking to you I might as well be talking to myself. You were always my conscience; you are my conscience. You are my sanity. We have grown together and helped mold each other into the people we have become. Not just through the good times, but through the bad, as well.

You never failed to be there when I needed you, and I have always been thankful. When my whole world came crashing down and I felt like I was drowning, you knew exactly how to make sure I just kept swimming along. You're the person that I always run to when there's news to tell, and I love knowing that I have that person in you.

Somewhere down the line we became adults. The memories you and I have made together don't compare to others. The friendship you and I have doesn't compare to any other.

And now I spend time looking back and realizing that after so many years we are finally figuring out where life is trying to take us. I can just barely remember what it was like before that day that you decided to step into my life. Life's path might not have us walking the same trail currently, but when I look in the distance I can't see a future without you in it walking by my side and being the sibling you have become. I know our paths, though now parallel, will become one again in time. Until then I can only hold tight to the proximity we have.

Thank you for helping me become who I am. My favorite memories of our friendship will always be the ones that consist of our constant laughter. I know there are still many more of them to come.

Sincerely,

The Person You Mean The World To

I can't live without you.

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.

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.
