To The Friends I'm Leaving When I Go Off To College

While it may seem like the end of a lot of things, it's also a whole new beginning.

To The Friends I'm Leaving When I Go Off To College
Ryan Robinson

All summer we've spent late nights out and days in the sun trying to not think about how in a few short coming months, we're not going to be together and living within miles of each other.

With the excitement of college comes fear and sadness over saying goodbye to some of the people you're closest to, including your best friends. The ones you talk to everyday and saw almost every day for the past year, and the ones who you've gone through some of your biggest senior year milestones with. During graduation, football games, and parties we silently thought in the back of our heads about the winding clock that is silently counting down the days till we won't be with each other constantly -- and that's scary as hell. But this article isn't about missing your friends, it's about remembering all the times you spent together and giving you and your friends something to remember until breaks come around and we'll see each other again.

This one goes out to you Haley, Taylor, and Kate.

You are the friend that always know how to light up a party just by your mere presence. You bring the definition of "you don't have to drink to have fun," because no matter what, you can make everyone have a good time. Parties won't be the same without you next year screaming and dancing with me; your let's-have-fun attitude is contagious and will be missed so much. There's no doubt in my mind that you won't do amazing on the field and in school next year, Kate.

To the friend with the most contagious laugh -- your laugh could make someone else laugh halfway across the world. You're going to be states away from us in West Virginia, but you're going to do amazing there. I'll miss your humor and honesty in any situation. You are truly one of a kind and you're going to do amazing in Tennesse. 1725 forever, Tay!

Lastly, to the friend I'm leaving behind in the next month. We've spent everyday of high school at your house annoying your mom with our loudness and shenanigans for the past 4 years. You know me better than anyone else in the world and I'm forever thankful for that. Don't wish this last year of high school away, because in a blink of an eye it will be over and you'll be up at WVU with us. I'm already missing you, Hales.

It's hard saying goodbye. While it may seem like the end of a lot of things, it's also a whole new beggining. The next four years are going to be different and things are going to change, but one thing won't -- and that's my love for you girls. College won't be the same without you all.

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.
