Why Internet Friends Are Great

We have all seen those videos of internet friends meeting for the very first time, we often wonder if those things are actually real? Well I can say from first-hand experience that they are real! Internet friends are something that some people may think are a pretty weird concept, while others rely solely on them.

Many people meet internet friends through different social media websites, Twitter, Instagram or even Tumblr. They often come together after bonding over the same band, TV show or social media personal. After talking for quite some time they both only have one dream and that is to meet.

Internet friends can be some of the best friends that you will ever meet in your life! I can say that from first-hand experience! I met two of my best friends from bonding over the same band on Twitter in 2013/2014. We have been friends ever since and I don't think our bond could ever be broken. For each of us we came along at different stages in our life, that's why I think that internet friends mean so much to people. They are friendships that you will carry with you for a lifetime, I have gone on countless adventures with my internet friends to see our favorite bands or just hang out!

Some people turn to their internet friends for all the problems they are afraid to go to their real friends with. Being internet friends with someone you form a different type of bond then you do with friends you have known your whole life. There is something about hoping one day you and your best friend will finally meet!

There have been thousands of internet friend stories that I have seen where they have been talking for years and they're finally meeting after talking for years! Some of them even meet for the first time at the place that brought them together.

I personally think that internet friends are something that are normal today, some people may disagree but I believe that internet friends are great! Say that you just need someone to talk to at any time and your friends aren't answering, there is no doubt that some of your internet friends will be awake and more than willing to listen to whatever you have to say! You can hang out and talk with them whenever you want and you don't have to bother making plans because they are usually available whenever.

Now you might be asking now, "How do I get an internet friend like that?" Well that's easy! All you really have to do is go on your social media and start following people who have a lot of the same interests as you! Find people who have accounts that are dedicated to your favorite band or TV show! All you have to do is tweet them and they will more than likely reply to you!

So if you just need a friend to talk to or you really just want someone to bond with you over how hot your favorite TV character was in this week’s episode than just log onto your social media and send a tweet!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
