To My Friend's Future Boyfriend

When it comes to someone I care so wholly, so deeply about, show some respect and hold your wits about you.

My friends are special to me, I'm sure you understand. My friends are my inner circle, they're the ones I text when I see something funny or have an idea for a new adventure. Gingerbread houses in November, sitting in parked cars to listen to the weird music that plays over a radio station we've never heard of, and contemplating the inner workings of life. My friends are the ones I know will be by my side until the day the sun burns out and the planet implodes.

They're special to me, and I understand that one of my friends in particular is special to you as well. Believe me, I'm willing to share. She's so great, there's more than enough to go around, but you'd better treat her with all of the respect she deserves.

When you make promises with her, to take her to dinner and show her the world, to care for and love her, to never hurt her or throw her away as if she was expendable, you should mean it. You should mean everything you say and never, ever, think about crushing her heart. She's a queen in her element, a ruler and a conqueror, and you're blessed to be given a spot in her world.

Of course, I'm biased, I suppose. But when it comes to someone I care so wholly, so deeply about, show some respect and hold your wits about you. I'll be the one to know if you make her cry, or if you feel any negative emotions because you didn't realize what you had in front of you.

Not to say that, necessarily, anything will go wrong. In fact, I hope that you are good enough, that you will make her happier than I would give you credit for. I want her to see the world in you, and for you to be the one who will make her smile in a way that I, as her friend, never could. But, you see, it's a delicate balance. I understand that not every moment will be happy, that there will be times when the world is a little meaner than usual. In that case, however, you need to be there to bring the colors back and not bail.

My point is simply that you should never treat my friend unfavorably. She deserves the world, so it is up to you to be that, or leave before you take casualties. If you date my friend, you should recognize how special she is. You should accept the flaws just as much as you should accept and highlight the beauty. Admire the dazzling smile and sparkle in her eyes, but do not back away when she has a pimple.

If you date my friend, know that you are a lucky person who has been chosen from many. But you should also know that, in case anything happens, she has a lot of friends standing behind her who would not be your biggest fan if you refuse to treat her right.

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.

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.
