Forever thankful that you all walked into my life and never walked out.

To my High School BFFs,

Thinking back to a time before I had all of you in my life is weird. I can't even think of times before the endless laughs, pictures, and times spent saying random things into the late hours of the night. You are there when I need someone to tell silly stories to or reinforcement that what I am doing is correct. I would not be the person I am today without all you crazies in my life. There are times that I think to myself, "wow how did I get so lucky", and realize it most of it stems from all of you. As many compliments that we throw around, here are my heartfelt thank yous to all of you:

Thank you for always being able to make me laugh. From the times that we all just sit on the floor in someone's living room trying to guess a word that one person is thinking or the times when we all dance like crazy at a party, these are memories that I will always cherish.

Thank you for the opinions on clothes even with all our very different senses of style.

Thank you for the visits at school. From the football games to the quick Saturday night visits, there is nothing like having a room full of suitcases filling the floors and friends trying to climb in your bed.

Thank you for the constant reminders of how pretty we all are inside and out. Thank god otherwise we would never be able to do anything fun (all joking aside you are all gorgeous humans)

Thank you for the endless meals shared, hangouts, fun had, and times spent together.

A special thank you to high school basketball for giving me all my favorite humans in the world.

Thank you for sticking together no matter where we are in life. From Alabama, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and even Minnesota, I know that you will all always be there to share the love and laughs we have shared in the southwest suburbs of Chicago.

Thank you for the Snapchat groups, the group messages, and the love of having one Android in the mix. Nothing like receiving the same message multiple times. But can one of you tell me what time tomorrow?

And finally, thank you for being you. The dynamic of the group would be different if just one person left. Everyone has their unique personalities and I love each and everyone one of you for exactly who you are. I was blessed to have you all come into my life and stay in my life. I could not imagine living without each and every one of you.

Although we have graduated from high school and none of us picked the same college (3 years later and still confused why we all didn't pick the same school), our Friendsgiving's, Pajama Christmas gathers, and hangouts are never skipped and I will forever be grateful for that. I can only hope that when we are old and gray we can all be sitting around a table pretending to play cards while singing way off key like we do now.

Lots of love to all of you,

Zo

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
