The Best Of Friends

I seriously have the best friends ever.

The Best Of Friends
Madeline Grumieaux

Best Friends.

They are people you need in life. They get you through the good times. They REALLY help you get through the bad times as well. They take pictures with you at any hour. They know what you need when you are upset...yep, they bring you Reese's and give you continuous hugs.

This article is about how my best friends aren't who I have known the longest, but the people that are around for me the most.

I met my best friends not that long ago, yep...I have met my closest friends all within the last year or so. One of my best friend's is my roommate this year. Another one of my best friend's is my big. My boyfriend is one of my best friends as well.

I met my roommate on the first day or orientation. We were playing a game and didn't talk much. I had no idea at that time that #11 on the school basketball team would become my roommate and best friend.

I met my big during, well, big/little week. She revealed herself and I was so excited to have her. How cool is it that she cared so much for me before I even knew it?! Now, I am sitting in her room writing this. What would I do without her?

Finally, I met my boyfriend at work. He just kinda looked at me that first few times I worked the same shift he did. Yeah, I thought he was nice and cute, but I would have never imaged he would be my boyfriend and my best friend. How lucky am I?

Those three mean the world to me. Rather it be through text, FaceTime, or in person, my best friends are there no matter what. I couldn't be any luckier to have found people that are there with me through all the blood, sweat and tears I go through; OK mostly sweat and tears.

So here's to you Callan, Claire, and Austin. Thank you for being my best friends.

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.
