I know this is a letter that has been written countless times on theodysseyonline. But I feel as though I need to get this off my chest, so here it goes.

Dear Ex-Best Friends,

When I think of you guys all I can think about are good times. All the activities we did like go bowling, have sleepovers and go to Disney. We had so much fun together, whether we were just hanging out or at work. We always found ways to keep ourselves entertained. I loved our group chats, we spent so many hours just texting each other memes or pictures. I loved it when we would just text lyrics to each other. I had mad love for the both of you. I seriously thought this friendship would be forever.

Unfortunately, our friendship didn't last. But that is okay, you guys have helped me become a stronger person after our fall out. I'd like to thank you for that, before our fall out I was semi-comfortable in my life. We all worked together and I loved that, going to work wasn't so bad because I had my best girls with me. Even though I was practically miserable at that job location, I stayed because I liked working with the both of you. But after our friendship fell apart, I felt like I had the strength to leave our work location. And thanks to the both of you I put in my two-weeks notice and I walked away. The feeling of relief after leaving felt so good. So thank you for helping do what I've been dying to do. I didn't have the strength to do it myself, but you helped me with your push.

You both helped me get motivated to focus on achieving my career. With our fall out you helped me get back on the path I was supposed to be focused on. As for me leaving our mutual job, I moved cities temporarily and found an amazing company to work for and I got the chance to intern with an app developer over the summer. Now I can finally see myself actually working in my career now that I have received more experience in it. If it weren't for our fall out, I can still picture me being miserable at our mutual job location. So again I thank you both.

I wish I knew what had caused our friendship to die. I thought we had the type of friendship that we were able to come to each other if we ever had a problem, but I was wrong. I sometimes think that if we were to actually talk things out we would be able to fix things. But stuff has been said that cannot be taken back. I now know who you really are. And I have finally accepted that. I hope things in life go well. One of you with your academics and the other with your marriage. You helped me see the real you and I appreciate it. I can't imagine what would life be like if I hadn't realized your true sides.

There are times where I think about the "what-ifs", "what if we were still friends, what if this fall out had never happened?" This is something I can't help but think about, but it is okay. I wish you both the best. Thank you for teaching me not to settle in life. It is very easy to become comfortable in your life when you know you're not supposed to. I hope the next time we cross paths, we will be able to acknowledge each other's existence. But until then, I wish you the best.

As for me right now, I am enjoying life and having a great time. I have no hard feelings whatsoever. Especially since if it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have actually accepted a real friend in my life. She showed me what being a real friend means, I appreciate everything about her.

Sincerely,

Just love, No hate.

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.
