To My Soul Sister, Seasons Change, But We Never Do

Nothing is stronger than our friendship.

For the past 14 years, our friendship has been the one thing I've been sure of, because like you always say, the seasons change, but we never do.

You are so much more than a best friend.

You're truly my sister and it hurts me to even try to imagine life without you.

You're there when I want you and you're there when I don't, but that's what comes with having you as a big sister. Even though we bicker and annoy each other, if I could spend every day with you I absolutely would.

You make the good times great and the bad times not so bad.

You're the only person in this world I'm comfortable crying around, and when I feel like I don't have anywhere to go you remind me that your home is mine too.

You bring out the best in me and because of you I love who I am.

You're the reason my dreams are so big. You've always believed in me, even when I assure you I have no idea what I'm doing. Knowing I have your support with everything I do gives me the strength to keep pushing myself.

When I think of you I think of determination, strength, beauty, intelligence, laughter, love and a good time.

A day spent with you is an adventure in itself, even if we don't ever leave your house.

I have no doubt that we were meant to be in each other's lives, because everything about my life would change if you weren't in it.

I wouldn't know the value of a dollar.

I wouldn't have snarky remarks up my sleeve ready to be fired.

I wouldn't be so ambitious.

I wouldn't have a second home and a second family.

I wouldn't be so confident.

I wouldn't have a maid of honor.

I wouldn't know true, unapologetic sisterhood.

No matter where the future takes us, we'll forever be Em & B, because even though the seasons change, we never do.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

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.

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.
