The next day, London and both her parents were going to her doctor to talk about her treatment options. Their appointment was at twelve-thirty, and London promised she would call me as soon as she was done. Around two o’clock, my phone rang. It was her.

“Hello?”

“Hey, Paris.”

“Hey. So how’d it go?” I asked.

“It was alright. You know, they went through the basics: chemo, blood transfusions, all that. They said the most important thing is that I find a bone marrow donor. It might be kind of hard, though.”

“Why?”

“He said the best chance of finding a match would be if I had a sibling because that would be the person with the DNA closest to mine.”

“Oh. Did they test your mom and dad?”

“Yeah, we should know if either of them are a match by tomorrow.”

“Okay. Do you want me to come over?”

“I wish I could say yes, but I have to finish my homework and I’m really tired. You’re going to come over tomorrow after you get out of school though, right?”

“Of course I am. I’ll see you then. And London?”

“Yeah?”

“Everything is going to be alright, okay? I can feel it.”

“I hope you’re right, Paris.”

“I know I am.”

As soon as I got out of school the following day, which was Monday, I went over to London’s house to see her. From the second I saw her, I knew something was wrong.

“Neither my mom or dad was a bone marrow match” London immediately said.

“So what are you going to do?” I asked, trying not to sound too panicked.

“I have to wait and see if they can find a match for me, but we don’t know how long that will take and… and… I need it as soon as possible.” London replied, her voice shaky.

A few seconds went by, and I did not know what to say. Then, out of nowhere, it hit me.

“London! Why don’t I get tested?! Maybe I’ll be a match for you! We are soul sisters!” I said excitedly.

“I don’t know Paris, you need to be at least eighteen and—”

“I’ll be eighteen in two weeks!”

“Paris I—”

“No, London! There is nothing you can say that can change my mind! I’m going tomorrow to get tested and that’s it!”

“Thank you, Paris. Whether you’re a match or not you have no idea how much it means to me. I love you.”

“I love you too. Now, let me tell you about all the stupid things that happened at school today.”

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.
