The new friend

That distraught feeling will never go away.

The feeling that she is perfect.

How she is a twin to you,

and I will not ever be that-

that attitude, positive, pretty, those interests-

that match yours.

I will never have that smile and never be that kind of gorgeous.

You talk so highly of her,

and I can only hope you talk about me half as good to the rest.

She is climbing up so high and quickly on your ladder,

I can see her coming and am scared she is going to pass me

I feel like that relationship is growing stronger and stronger everyday.

While ours is falling apart.

Makes sense doesn’t it?

We don’t talk every day anymore like you both do.

We don’t have the same likes like you both do.

We have more and more fights unlike you both do.

I am terrified that I am losing someone I call my best friend.

She is going to replace me.

She gets to see you close to every day.

If I am lucky i get to see your face through my 5x2 inch iPhone,

which I miss seeing by the way.

I miss our midnight drives.

Not to mention our artistic actions we share with walls and bridges.

I miss that show we watched together.

I miss how one of us would order more food just so the other could steal it.

I miss knowing your “usual” when we would go out to eat.

I feel that slowly slipping away.

I am forgetting those things everyday.

And I know you’re forgetting mine too.

DMAN this distance thing sucks.

I want to spend my evenings with you and help another out.

Soon you’ll be helping her like you did for me.

You say that it is not happening but I feel it,

Im being let go and soon she will be the new me...

she will replace me...

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.

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.
