To my best friend in college,

I am already very aware of how cliché this "open letter" is and how everyone has already written one and how you hate them more than you hate biology, but this ones for you buck.

I miss you, like a lot. I miss seeing your smiling face, and before school coffee stops.

Everything is so big and unexplored in a new city, there’s hope for both of us here. I know we both took for granted being so close to each other, but now that we aren’t, I cherish all the times where we get to talk or I get a quick text from you or you tag me in some ridiculous thing on Instagram (mainly I'm tagging you but who's counting?)

Thank you for always listening to me and thank you for the continuous support you give me still being miles away. I know we won’t get to have the option to see each other as much as we both would like to, but that’s okay because I know we’ll get through it. They can't really keep us here forever. You were always a positive part of my life and I'm really missing that most (and your dad's beanie weenies but whatever). I'm looking forward to the next time I see you more than you know. Can’t wait for our cuddle sessions and late night drives.

Lastly, I want to tell you how proud I am of you. You're going to a great school and you haven't threatened to drop out (at least not enough times for me to get worried). I am proud of the wonderful and beautiful woman you have become. I will always be here for you no matter what.

Xoxo,

Your slightly better half.

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:

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.
