I know I screwed up.

To my former best friend,


I know I screwed up. I know that I should have been there for you when you needed me and I wasn’t. I regret it every day. Every day I see your posts on social media and I wish I was still a part of your life, and you a part of mine. Because I miss you.

Every day things happen that a year ago I would have texted you about or told you about. Like Post Malone’s new album. We would have freaked out over it together. I would have come over to your place and we would have listened to it together and talked about which songs were the best.

I know I wasn’t there when you needed me, and that wasn’t fair to you. But at the same time, I had my own shit going on. I was going through a lot with school and was in the process of deciding whether or not to take a semester off of school. I was a mess because of it, and you had your own shit going on so I didn’t expect you to be there for me cause I knew you were a mess too and you were dealing with that.

So why is it that I could accept that for you, but you ended our friendship over it for me? You’ve always said you’re understanding of life and I’ve always found that to be true so why did you cut me off without ever asking me why I wasn’t there for you when you needed me? Did you not know me well enough to know I had a reason? I was in such a dark place that even sending a text asking how you were doing was mentally draining for me. I was a bad friend to everyone at that point, not just you. I lost you though.

I miss you so much. I wish I had been there for you, despite my personal shit. Because then maybe I’d have my best friend in my life still.

So to my former best friend;

I’m sorry.

And I miss you.

Love,

The friend who screwed up

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.

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.
