Thank You To My College Friends

You've shown me what true friendship is

Thank You To My College Friends
Taylor Brock

I can easily say that I enjoyed high school. I did well in my classes, was super involved, and most importantly I had a solid group of friends that I spent the majority of my time with. Post graduation, and now almost four years after high school has ended, I've seen those friends drift away. It's something that happens, of course, people change and communication is lost. With being so far away from home while my high school friends all go to college together, I understand why I don't see them when I go home anymore.

So, maybe my high school friends and I weren't as good of friends as I had thought we were back in the day. My college friends though? I honestly don't know what I'd do without them.

They're the ones who took turns sitting with me in my hospital room when I got appendicitis at three in the morning. The people I leave my hometown early during breaks for because not seeing each other for even two weeks is just too much time apart. My college friends and I make spontaneous trips out of town and still have sleepovers at each other's apartments like we're six years old.

The thing is, there's just a different dynamic now. I am so grateful that I can just drive a few minutes at any time of the day or night and I have someone who is excited to see and hang out with me.

Thank you to every friend I've made in the last few years. You have all shown me what true friendship means, and I cannot thank you enough. I'm thankful that the only big problem I have to face with y'all is figuring out how many bridesmaids is too many.

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.
