15 Things You Need to Say to Your Best Friends
Jayden Taylor Cartelli

I have met some of the most amazing people over the past few months of school, in addition to my already fabulous friends I have from home. These friends collectively have all kept me afloat in countless ways, and I have so many thanks to give. Here are a few things you need to say to your best friends (if you haven't already, of course).

1. Thank you for keeping me sane. A very basic thank you, a thank you all of us have surely needed to say. I cannot express how many nights my roommates and besties have broken me away from my homework to go get McDonald's, or watch a comedy skit, or something in order to get my brain to cool off.

2. Thank you for never letting me eat alone. If I want to go eat, and you already have, you always offer to come with me. Thank you.

3. Thank you for listening to me rant... and rant...

4. And thank you for ranting with me.

5. Thank you for accepting my quirks. Whether it is my loud laugh, obnoxious jokes, or the fact that sometimes I am just plain weird, thank you for accepting me for who I am.

6. Thank you for being honest with me. Lying is such a weird thing to do to your friends, and I am grateful to have honest relationships with every single one of you.

7. Thank you for making me smile when I am sad, for wiping my tears, and for giving me a big hug. There have been points in everyone's lives that you need that best friend hug and sympathy smile. Thank you for being willing to give it all.

8. Thank you for helping me with my homework. Whether it's chemistry, a research paper, or anything in between, I know you all have my back.

9. Thank you for netflixing with me. You know that Saturdays are spent laying in bed, eating, and watching Netflix. We keep these plans always, and I am so glad to have this time with you all.

10. Thank you for visiting me or texting me to check in. Life gets pretty crazy sometimes, and I just so happen to not always get to spend the weekend with my friends at home. So, thank you for always making sure I ate lunch, or coming to visit my beautiful city and meet my school friends.

11. Thank you for being open.

12. Thank you for exploring and adventuring with me.

13. Thank you for always saying 'Goodbye' when we have to part ways. Taking a few minutes out of your day just to say goodbye to me really has made me feel appreciated and loved. Thank you.

14. Thank you for staying up late with me when I can't sleep.

15. Thank you for always being open.

I love each and every one of you so much. Thank you.

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.
