To My Best Friends Still In High School

Going to school without you guys is one of the hardest things.

To My Best Friends Still In High School

To my friends still in High School,

The hardest part about graduating and going to college is leaving you behind. I can't imagine not seeing your smiling face across from me at the lunch table or passing you in the hall. But now this is our reality. So since I can't be there to guide you through your junior and senior year I leave you with this.

As you climb the ladder, freshmen get more annoying. But remember you were just a freshman when we became best friends so keep your eye out. But I also say this, don't ever take crap from a freshman. Put them in their place. They can be entitled brats.

High school goes by fast. I know everyone tells you that, but I can tell you it's the fastest four years of your life. So take advantage of all the opportunities. Go to the football games or musicals. You only get to be in high school for four years, might as well be involved and enjoy it.

Pay attention in class. I know I sound like your mom, but I am the mom friend. But seriously do it. Don't just play games on your Chromebook. Been there, done that.

You don't need a date to prom. Go with your friends, it is way more fun. Then you don't have to worry about any awkward slow dances. Trust me, it's better this way.

Don't be afraid to apply to your dream school. You never know unless you try and who knows maybe you'll get in. On that note, pick the college that is right for you, not where I'm going, or your other friends are going or where your family thinks you should go. Pick the one you want, after all you're the one stuck there.

Don't worry if your friend group falls apart. If it does, oh well, that's how I found you. My best friends. High school friendships normally don't last, but those that do are special.

One last thing. Thank you. Thank you for showing me not all underclassman suck, for being my cheerleaders, my rocks, and my best friends. As I leave college, please know I'm not going to leave you behind. Even though I am far away, I'll always be there for you. I'm only a phone call away.

Love,

Your favorite college freshman

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.
