Dear Best Friend

I just really want to say thank you.

You do not realize how much I appreciate you. Even when we don't talk for weeks I know that I can go to you with all of my problems. You are such a great listener, and you don't let people mess with me. You're willing to do whatever I need you to, and I am forever grateful for that.

You save me from myself. There have been so many times when I just felt like giving up, but you didn't let me. You helped me pick myself up off the ground. I wouldn't be here today if it weren't for you.

You've helped me grow and learn to love myself as a person. I have developed such a strong sense of self-love and I know not to settle for anything less than I deserve. I couldn't have done that without you. We have grown so much together over the years and I know that we will always have a special bond. Even if we move away from each other and don't stay in contact, I know that I will always have a friend in you.

Memories of our adventures together will forever be some of my favorites. I can never forget all that you have done for and with me.

I know that I can be a lot to handle sometimes, but you've never seemed to care. You have always loved me for who I am, quirks and all. We have shared our deepest and darkest secrets, and we have had our fights. These moments made us stronger, both as individuals and as best friends. We've gossiped about boys, gone on adventures, and lied for each other. You are the person I know I can trust with absolutely anything.

Everyone needs that person and I'm glad I've found you.

There have been more than one of you over my 18 years on this Earth and this a thank you to every single one of you.

Thank you for being a great best friend. Thank you for being 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.
