To The Friends Who Make Your Best Days Better And Your Worst Seem Not So Bad
Emily Beltran

I'd like to say, thank you.

Friendship is such a beautiful thing. Friends have the ability to make your best days better and your worst seem not so bad. Now, before I go on and on about how thankful I am for my best friends, here's a few honorable mentions to the friends I may not have for a lifetime, but the ones that I will remember for a lifetime.

To the friends of my past, I want you to know that just because we aren't as involved in each other's lives as we thought we would be once upon a time, doesn't mean I've forgotten about you. You helped me grow more than you'll ever know and I wish you nothing but the best. I think of you often, and when I look back on our memories I can't help but smile.

To the friends of my present, thanks for always being down for anything. Whether it's brunch, a night out, or pulling an "all-nighter" in the library to help me cram for an exam I should have started preparing for weeks ago, you're my go-to and the real MVP. To the friend's of my future, whether we're co-workers, girl scout troop leaders or PTA moms, I can't wait to meet you and gossip about the neighborhood drama over our weekly wine nights.

Now, when it comes to my bestie for the restie, I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't get just one, but a handful of amazing people, that I call my best friends. They've all come into my life at different times, and I know with complete certainty these select few will remain in my life until the day I die.

You know who you are, but I don't know if you know how much you mean to me. So, here it goes, thanks for everything

Thank you for accepting me and loving me for exactly who I am.

Saying "I can be a lot", is an understatement, but you've chosen to stick around, and for that, I am eternally grateful. You've seen me at my worst and you somehow still think I'm the best.

Thank you for always being there for me.

You've been by my side through not only the good times but also the bad.

You have celebrated the successes and mourned the failures with me, as if they were your own.

You always have my back even when I'm wrong, while still being someone I can count on to be brutally honest when I need it.

You might not always be there in person, but you're always there in spirit and only one call away.

Thank you for being my biggest supporter.

You truly are my own personal cheerleader in this big crazy world.

You're always encouraging me to do my best and reminding me that you will be there every step of the way, to catch me if I fall.

Your friendship has given me confidence and your motivation has given me the strength to push myself further than I thought possible.

Thank you for being you.

You are the shining light in my life leading me towards a brighter future.

You've shown me what hard work is and you've taught me perseverance. I'm so grateful our paths intertwined when they did because you are one of the best people I know and I can't imagine my life without you in it.

You bring such happiness into the lives of everyone you meet and I am honored to be your best friend.

Being a best friend means being there for all of life's trials and tribulations. It means having someone else's best interest at heart and doing what is best for them even when it's not easy. Having a best friend is one of the best gifts life has to offer. Your best friend is not only your partner in crime for all of life's endeavors but also your family, someone who loves you unconditionally.

To all of my best friends, you are each so unique and beautiful, there is no competition or comparison.

I love you all so much and I am a better person because of each and every one of you. I don't deserve any of you, but I'm lucky I have all of you.

Thank you.

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.
