A Thank You Letter To My Forever Friend
Christa Santulli

Finding someone who will stick by your side through thick and thin is very challenging, and many don’t get lucky enough to find that person in their lifetime. If you are lucky enough to find that one person, your friendship soulmate, you understand the intense bond that many cannot comprehend. Being friends with someone from such a young age and watching each other grow into taller, more mature (maybe physically, not always mentally) adults, is a beautiful thing. This is why I want to dedicate this to you, my best friend since childhood, my forever friend, my soulmate. There are some things I want you to know and always remember, no matter where you are, near or far.

Thank you for sticking with me through every one of my horrible and embarrassing phases, and for going through them right alongside me.

We were so embarrassing, but the good thing is, we went through it together. I’ve always known that no matter what I wear, how much makeup I slap on my face, or who I’m hanging out with, you will always support me and love me for who I am. Thank you for not only always having my back, but for being my sidekick through all of the disastrous phases (especially middle school).

Thank you for being the person I always know I can rant to about anything or anyone.

Over the years we have both had our share of drama and other issues in our lives. I know that no matter what I have going on, or who I’m fighting with, you will always be there to listen, rant along with me, and devise a plan to ruin their lives (just kidding, kinda).

Thank you for welcoming me into your family like I’m your actual sibling.

Honestly, if we looked more alike people would probably assume we were family members. Your family has become my family, and likewise. When I gained you as a friend so many years ago, I also gained a whole new group of people who I know would do anything for me.

Thank you for always being my rock when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

When nothing else is right, when everyone else has turned their backs on me, you have always been a constant in my life. Thank you for being my best friend through it all, thick and thin. I don’t know how I would’ve survived half the things I have in my life so far if I didn’t have you. I’m so incredibly lucky to have become your partner in crime when we were children.

And lastly, thank you for staying my friend for all these years. Thank you for not letting anything ruin the amazingly strong bond we have between us.

Time moves, friends drift apart, but thank you for remaining my best friend through the years. Although we have gone through many changes lately, and distance has come between us physically, I know that you will be there to pick up my call at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m., no matter what. Thank you for being my best friend in the whole world, my sister, my ride or die. I know that one day you will be standing next to me as my maid of honor, and we will probably be as insane and dysfunctional as the women in "Bridesmaids." I can’t wait to see what the world and future have in store for us. Thank you for being my forever friend.

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.
