Who would have thought we would be in opposite corners of the world?

-best friends are never apart, maybe be distance, but never by heart.

Dear my long distance besties,

Where do I even begin? We've been best friends for years, since the very beginning. My day one O.G.'s. We've shared endless memories together. We've helped each other through the good times and the bad. And we know each others deepest and darkest secrets. We grew up together, and you helped to shape me into the person I am today. And yeah we've had our ups and down over the years, but who doesn't? But I honestly can't imagine my childhood or my teenage years without you gals by my side.

Back when we were running around in the park, having sleep overs every weekend, and bopping together at the little discos, who would have thought that by the time we reached 20 years old, we would all be living in different corners of the world. It seems crazy. Our biggest worries back then were "what dress will I wear this weekend" and "omg do you think he likes me back?" We would think about all traveling the world together, and about how maybe one day we would live in an apartment together. But you really never know what the future holds!

I probably don't tell you nearly enough but I want to thank you both. I want to thank you for not letting the hundreds of miles and the oceans between us tear our friendships apart! We don't talk everyday, time zones and school and work and life can make it pretty hard sometimes. But I always know that as soon as we do pick up the phones again, it's like nothing has changed. I know that no matter how tough life gets, the two people who know me best in the world, will still only be a text away! And while on the topic of thank you's, thanks for sticking with me through those awkward early teenage years. Looking back on some of the old selfies and questionable make up looks, I don't really know how we made it though LOL. Thank you for walking straight into my house and asking what was for dinner, and treating my family like your own! And thank you for letting me do the same. Thank you for years of laughter and tears and private jokes and I'll never forget. And thank you for picking me up when I was down, and making me laugh til I cried.

Now that we are all living in different parts of the world, and life is going in so many different directions, it makes me so happy to know that I still have two people like you in my life! One thing I know for sure is that I'll always cherish our friendship and the memories that we all hold, no matter the distance! I hope that what the future holds for all of us, no matter where we all end up, is nothing less than amazing! I hope that you both follow all of your dreams and achieve everything that you have ever wanted! And I hope that you both remember that I love you and miss you both everyday and that we will always be best friends!

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.
