Our Friendship Will Always Go The Distance, Even If You Move Farther And Farther Away
Bailey Drake

To My Best Friend,

I missed you so much when you moved across the country to go to your new university. Becoming friends in our senior year of high school was one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Right when I met you, I knew we were going to be great friends.

The choir festival up north and the senior trip over spring break definitely helped us become a whole lot closer, especially since we shared a room both times! I loved the deep talks we had in the hotel rooms on those trips and the fact that you made sure I woke up and got out of the hotel on time (which is not an easy task, since I am the exact opposite of a morning person). These were the moments when we got to know each other really well and when I knew you would definitely be a good person to have as a friend.

After we graduated high school and started to make the transition to college, you were one of those friends who I could always go to during a particularly difficult year. I knew I could talk to you about any struggles I was facing in my life, and you would listen to it all and give me advice on how to handle the situation. I am more grateful for that than you will ever know, and I'm glad that you have allowed me to do the same for you. We're able to share pretty much everything that's happening in our lives without fear of judgment and are able to carry each other through whatever trials the other one is facing.

And for all our serious conversations, we have also had many wonderful moments when we don't take ourselves seriously at all. After all, both of our favorite movies are kid films, and we never ever hesitate to reference them at any given time. We can burst out laughing at pretty much anything, sometimes even just by looking at each other. While our brands of humor are different, you'll always be able to make me laugh with your sarcasm and subtle wit (because you're just that smart), and I'll always appreciate you at least giving my terrible jokes a courtesy chuckle.

You're also one of those people who I love just being with. We don't have to be doing anything, we can just be sitting in the same room or on different sides of a laptop camera, or just walking around somewhere. It never seems boring or dull with you around. With you, I'm just happy we're getting to spend time together and blessed to be in such good company. I've started to value this time even more since you've been on the other side of the country nine months out of the year.

Now that you're moving for good though, I find myself reflecting on all of these things and just how much you mean to me. You're a truly and completely good person, and I'm forever thankful you chose me to be your best friend. I know we'll always have texting, phone calls, and FaceTime, but I'm going to miss getting lunch with you, going to the movies with you, and even just driving around listening to the radio with you. God definitely blessed me big time when He had us meet during our senior year. You're one of the greatest people He has ever put in my life, and I know that no matter how far away we end up being from each other, you will always be in my heart.

Sincerely,

Someone who is grateful to call you their sister

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.
