I Thank College For Finding My True Friends

College has really helped me open my eyes to what a true friendship really is

I Thank College For Finding My True Friends
Brianna Wisniewski


In high school I've never really had friends that I could call my "true" friends. I had people I could lean on and they would be there for me but not people who I considered true friends. A definition of a true friendship is when someone knows you better than yourself and takes your position in your best interest in a crisis. I mean I know there have been people who have been there for me but ever since I was a senior in high school it all changed for me.

Having a relationship that fell through really opened my eyes to what a true friend was. It made me realize that friends that I have had in high school were not the friends that I thought I had. Those friends decided to take sides after the breakup and made me feel like everything was falling apart. But when I became a freshmen in college that all changed for me. I was able to find my true self and in my best interests my true friends.

It took me awhile to figure out that the friends I once had were not the ones I would make my bridesmaids for my wedding. Those friends would be the ones I met in college. The ones that would be there for me in a crisis. The ones I could call up and say I need you to be there for me or I need this, and without a doubt in my mind they would be there. I want to thank you for that.

You know who you are, Love always,

Bri

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.

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.
