To My Ex-Best Friend

I miss you, but this was for the best.

To My Ex-Best Friend

I remember the day I met you. It was after a week or so of you wooing all of my friends so they wouldn't stop talking about you, and it was super annoying. They wouldn't stop talking until I agreed to meet you, I caved so they'd shut up. Which was a great decision on my part. We hit it off instantly, and we became best friends seemingly over night.

From that point, we did so much together. You took me with you to Mackinaw on a family road trip, and you introduced me to all your potential boyfriends so I could properly threaten them (it's the best friend's job to warn them. The whole "If you hurt her, I'll find you, and I will make you wish you were never born" speech). We spent so many nights at each others houses, staying up way to late and talking about anything and everything. Nothing was off limits to us, because we trusted each other completely.

However, somewhere during our high school journey, something changed. You started spending less and less time with me, and more time with stupid boys who always wound up hurting you. I ignored it for a while, and just enjoyed what time we had together, because you were my best friend and I loved you. However, what started out as days apart started turning in to weeks, and then months without talking. If I tried approaching you about problems in my life, you always had a story to one-up me. When I started getting upset with how you were acting, I felt like I couldn't tell you, so I just bottled it up until I exploded over a stupid tweet of yours. Which was wrong, and I'm sorry for how we ended.

We fell apart, and that's sad. However, we will always have those wonderful memories, and I will always love you. I know towards the end I didn't show it well, and neither did you, but that doesn't matter. I am so deeply sorry we weren't forever friends, and I hope that maybe someday we can reunite, or at least get on speaking terms again. You were the best friend I could have asked for back then, but as we grew, we both needed something other than what the other could provide. Thank you for giving me some really great years, and I hope you're happy in your life. I really do.

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.
