An Open Letter To The Friends I Lost Along The Way...

An Open Letter To The Friends I Lost Along The Way...

If we have ever been friends, then more than likely we spent an overwhelming amount of time together. We probably laughed at dumb inside jokes, binge-watched a Netflix series or two, ate our weight in pizza, had sleepovers every night for weeks at a time, and got ourselves in way too much trouble for our own good. These friendships that form really quickly are the best, you don't have that awkward 'getting to know each other' phase. Getting to know someone merely based off of experiences is nothing short of interesting, but it also is fun to make those memories!

These friendships sadly all ended in one way or another. Maybe one of us moved away, just drifted apart, got boyfriends, or got new best friends. If we have ever been friends at any point in time, I just want you to know I am silently rooting for your happiness. No matter if it ended rough or not, we have precious memories together that I will forever cherish and nothing can take that away from us, not a boy, not a new best friend, and not distance.

It's okay to never speak but a couple of words to each other ever again because that friendship had a meaning at the time. You were the person that God chose to put into my life for whatever reason. You were the one that He knew He could count on to get me past whatever hardships I might have been going through or to celebrate all the mini-victories in life together.

It's sad that we don't talk anymore, but I love to see how you are and where you're going in life. Whether you're getting married, having babies, or going to school, I am proud of the person you have become. If you ever need anything or just want to catch up, hit me up on Facebook (wow I sound old). I would love to see pictures of your kids, your new tinder boyfriend, even that video from a party at school.

"You need friends, even just hot chocolate ones."

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:

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.
