To My Big, You Mean The Big Wide World To Me

You are a wonderful person, friend, and the best Big I could have possibly asked for.

To My Big, You Mean The Big Wide World To Me
Sarah Schwartz

When I first started college, I was nervous, homesick, and beyond worried about what freshmen year would hold. I had no idea what to expect, had no clue how I'd make friends, and was constantly wondering if I'd have the same college experience that my older friends had all had. When I first got to talk to you, my stress went away almost immediately.

You felt like the older sister I had never had and the educated friend I could go to for the most random advice.

Thank you for consistently being a role model and incredible person. You impress me every single day and have remarkable traits that remind me all the time how wonderful you are. Your joyful persona is shared with everyone around you, and you somehow remind me of the goodness of a horrible day. You are truly one of the best people I've ever gotten the chance to meet, and I know many people can say the exact same thing.

Thank you for the laughs and funny moments that nobody else would find humor in.

We can turn literally anything into a joke, and I think of these often when I need a good laugh. Thank you for never giving up on me as a person, friend, or little, and always reminding me through your actions how much you care and how willing you are to help people out.

You have a heart of gold, and so many people can agree.

My favorite quote you've ever said was to a bee; "Don't sting me, I don't want you to die!" Your selflessness is reflected in every single thing you say or do, and if I didn't have such a positive influence in my life, I wouldn't be half the person I am today.

Because of you, I no longer about finding friends, and haven't felt homesick since that first week of school.

Because of you, I always have someone to find my cheesy jokes funny, and my wild emotions tolerable. Though we joke all the time, what I'm saying right now is far from a joke.

You are one of the best people I've ever met, and time with you is always happy and wonderful.

You are a wonderful person, friend, and the best Big I could have possibly asked for. You will change the world, and I am honored to have been a part of your life.

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. 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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
