Dear Old Friend That I Don't See Much Anymore,

I miss you.

I know we both have a lot going on in our own lives and our time wears thin occasionally but I wish we talked as much as we used to.

It used to be when people saw me, they saw you. We were hardly ever apart from each other. But now we have our known lives, new friends, living in different towns... I know this is an exciting time for you, you are independent and doing things on your own and I am so proud of you for that. You have a new life and I get that, I just wish I saw you more. I know I can't see you as much as I used to but I wish I saw you more than I do right now.

Sometimes I call you because your the only one that would understand what I am talking about, the only one who even actually knows who I would be talking about. But during those times, if you answer, I feel like I am bothering you when I call. That you have much more important things to do than talk to an old friend like me. I know you don't mean it that way and I know you are busy, I understand.

I've gotten used to not receiving the phone calls or texts that you said you were going to send. I've gotten used to the "I can't, I'm busy" answer when I ask to spend time with you, celebrating things like birthdays. I'm not mad because you are too busy for me, I know you have a whole other life and you can't rush to see me every time I call... I just miss you that's all.

I know very well that you might not even see this letter and that's probably best because I don't think I could ever tell you all of this. I don't write this to make you feel guilty or hurt your feelings I really don't. I know we can't see each other like we used to, I still just miss you.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I miss you, I always will. I know we are growing up and when people grow up they move away and gain another life in a sense, that's just apart of life. I just want you to know that no matter where you go or how many miles come between us, just know that I will always miss you and I will always want to see you. You'll never stop being one of my best friends. Time... distance... it doesn't matter. As long as we both make an effort to be apart of each others lives, everything will work itself out.

Love always,

The friend that will always be here... missing you.

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.

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.
