To The High School Friend Who Became A College Best Friend

To the friend from high school who became my best friend in college,

We were always close, but you were never the person I always turned to. I didn't go to you for advice. I didn't tell you all my secrets before anyone else. You weren't the first person I wanted to tell about my successes for you to hype me up. You weren't the first person I wanted to tell about my failures for you to make me feel better.

In high school, you weren't those things, but today, you are.

You were my friend, and I always knew I could count on you. I just never took advantage of knowing that you were one of the few people I could trust with every part of my life. Somehow, going to college nearly 500 miles apart and only seeing each other once or twice a year made me realize just how special you are and just how lucky I am to have you.

You have become the person I lean on most. The person I tell about all my shenanigans. My top choice when it comes to gossiping. The only person I can talk politics with. The person I talk about girls with. The person I go to for advice because you always know what I should do. The person I go to when I need to talk to someone because you somehow always know what to say. The person I trust to call me out when I've gone too far.

You have become my person.

Graduating high school, I knew I was going to become distant with some people, especially since I was going out-of-state with nobody from high school. I didn't imagine that I was going to become closer to people that I hardly ever see anymore.

Yet that's what happened with you. We've been friends for years, but the physical distance has somehow brought us closer together. You are my best friend. I didn't see it coming. I don't know how to explain it. All I know is that I am so thankful for you.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
