To my best friend, roommate, and personal cheerleader,

Hey you, yes you, Leah, I’m writing to you about the positive impact you’ve had on my life. Sadly, it isn’t as long as I wish for it to be, but if it was, it would be an entire book. With that being said, thank you for showing me what it’s like to have, and be a best friend.

Freshman year was full of awkward moments, but there is no one I would rather share those moments with, and no one I’d rather co-habitat with in our tiny, 4 by 4 dorm.

Each of those cringey floor meet-and-greets—that lead to getting to know each other—felt like pulling teeth at times. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing.

Each spontaneous, awkward, adrenaline-filled moment lead to such a unique friendship.

Thank you for being the girl who has consistently pushed me to be my best self, helped me through my worst situations, and continuously is there for me whenever I need you to be. I can’t thank you enough for being my best friend, roommate, and at times, my mom these past four years of college.

From the nights we stayed in dancing to high school musical duets, watching SpongeBob for hours on end, or going out and thinking someone hotwired our car because there was no way it got towed (LOL).

Not only have we created so many adventures together, but you’re also the one whose cheered me on at every one of my dance shows, which means the world to me. Each moment together created a new story, and I’m eternally grateful to have memories that will last a lifetime.

Throughout our four years of living together, you helped me through every situation imaginable. You were always the person I could count on if boys were being dumb—and trust me, 99% of them are. You helped me pick up the pieces and become a much more independent, badass version of myself, and that is a lesson I will never forget.

You are Khaeleesi, and if anyone ever tells you different, they better bend the knee. You’re the most independent, kind, smart, badass girl I know—and I full-heartedly stand behind that. You’re the one who believes in me when I don’t even believe in myself, and encourages me to always be true to myself.

I love our goofiness, and I love how you’re always you no matter who’s watching.

You deserve the world, and though you may not see yourself, everyone around you knows everything I’ve written above is true. You’re an amazing human being, and I’m going to miss living with you. Here’s to a ‘see you later,’ because it’s never going to be a goodbye.


Lots of love,

Syd

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.
