Before going to college, I can remember thinking often of my future roommate(s). What they would be like, how we would get along, etc. Looking back now, all of my hopes and wishes for good roommates didn’t even come close to the blessing I received. I didn’t just get three new roommates; I got three sisters that I had always wanted, three partners in crime to conquer the world with, and three close friends that I so desperately needed. I’m beyond lucky that I was blessed with these girls, and I’m fairly confident that I wouldn’t be able to make it through college without them.

First and foremost, thank you for always being there. I live for our late night heart-to hearts, and I’m thankful that I have you to depend on when life gets a little too heavy to handle on my own. Thank you for always listening, and offering words of comfort and counsel. More than that, thank you for never giving up on me. I know that I’ve let you down and hurt you several times, and I’m deeply sorry for that. It means the world to me that you never left me, even when I was at my absolute worst. Thank you for being my people, my family.

Thank you for making everyday a little more exciting. There’s never a dull moment when we’re together, whether it’s a trip to the grocery store, a milkshake run, or just a night in together. You make even the simple moments so much more fun, and I’m thankful for the way that we are able to brighten the world around us, even when it seems as if the darkness is pressing in. We have an endless amount of memories and jokes, and I live for the nights when we laugh until our stomachs hurt, and chase each other around the apartment just for fun. Life is better with you around, you make everyday an adventure.

Thank you for making me feel at home. I’ve always believed that home is comprised of people too, not just places. You three have become my home away from home. You make me feel accepted and loved, and I always know that I have you to rely on whenever I feel like I’m alone. I can’t imagine living with anyone else, and frankly, I wouldn’t want to. There’s no one I would rather go through college with, and even though it’s been a crazy journey, I’m glad we’re in it together.

Thank you, a million times a million. I don’t know what I did to deserve such amazing girls as roommates and friends, but I’m sure grateful. Thank you for sticking by my side, making everyday exciting, and giving me a home. Words cannot begin to express what you mean to me, and how thankful I am for our friendships and shared experiences. Thank you for being you, and for letting me be me. Thank you for being my people, my secret-keepers, my shoulders to cry on, my study buddies, my constant companions, and so much more. You mean the world to me gals, I’m blessed to be blessed by you.

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.
