To My Best Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing First Semester

I am so beyond grateful for these girls forever

To My Best Friends I Didn't Know I Was Missing First Semester
Lauren Smith

Now that my freshman year has finally come to a close, it seems fitting to thank the girls that made my second semester of college an unforgettable one.

The fact that a few months ago, I barely knew these nine incredible girls is mind boggling to me. How did I go through first semester without you guys? How did I not go out with you guys every weekend first semester? How did I make it through without borrowing all of your clothes? So many questions are running through my mind right now.

It is so amazing how one event can give you your best friends. Thank You Alpha Omicron Pi for taking all of us in and bringing us all together. Without you, I wouldn't even know some of these girls I spent everyday with since January.

From walking to and from south halls basically everyday to running to each others dorms before a night out to borrow clothes. From Super Bowl parties and movie dates to late nights with Findlay yogurt and so much more. I am going to miss that so much.

We may not live that far from each other, but going from seeing you all everyday and being just a short walk away in East to now looking at Snap aps and seeing us all spread out, I have tears welling up in my eyes.

I am sure anyone reading this that knows they have already made that group of friends for life can agree with me that leaving college for summer and leaving behind all of the memories and experiences with "your people" is one of the hardest things you have done.

So, as we all reminisce by sending pictures and videos from the semester to each other, I just keep thinking that this isn't forever and that all of the goodbyes we said this week aren't really goodbyes, they are see you laters.

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:

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.
