Why Our Friendship Is Unique

The Friendship we share is like none other.

Why Our Friendship Is Unique
Huffingtonpost

Every friendship has its unique aspects. Some people are friends because of similar likes. Some are friends because they have completely different likes. Some people are friends because they are sisters or brothers. And some are friends because they have been with you your whole life. My very best friend is my mom. To me, I feel like it’s more then just being a great mom, it’s about having her as a friend too. Mother’s are one of the biggest role models in a person’s life. Any mom would give their child the coat off their back.

I cherish the moments that my mother and I have together. She is my biggest supporter, my all time biggest inspiration, and she is my very best friend. Of course we have fought and probably have thought we hated each other at some point, but we would always come back to each other like an elastic rubber band.

During my elementary classes we weren’t very close but we still did a lot together. My favorite was the traveling, which to this day we still do together. During middle school, I didn’t have many friends. I had my mom and that’s all I really needed. Once middle school was over and high school began we seemed to get into more arguments than before. Every one goes through this phase with their parents. I wouldn’t listen to her, she would get mad, we would fight, and then sooner or later, we would be fine again. I ended up moving out of my mom’s house in high school and I moved in with my dad. It was probably the best thing I could have ever done. My dad and I got closer and spent so much time together that it took time off of me and my mom. We needed some sort of a break from each other to really understand how much we needed the other. I moved back in with my mom my senior year of high school and that’s when our friendship bloomed. I was constantly telling her everything that came to my mind. She would do the same. Most high school students would keep a lot of personal things to themselves, but my mom and I didn’t care. I would tell her every little secret and she never once judged me. Yes, of course she would give me advice and tell me how to handle everything better, but not once did she criticize me.

We started traveling more once I graduate from high school. We went all over together. We went to cruises, concerts, and even business trips. Any of our friends know that if Heather will be there, I will be there too. College came and I ended up moving out for a year, which wasn’t hard because I would come home every weekend to see her and hang out with my friends. Once my third year of college was coming up I decided to move a little bit farther away. Still close enough to come home whenever I want to but far enough to have my own space. We call each other every day to talk or share a story. We Snapchat pictures to each other at least a couple times a day. Some weekends she even comes over to where I live and we go out and have drinks together. We will talk for hours and hours until we are both crying so hard from laughing that our sides hurt. The friendship I have with my mom is one that I could never live without. It’s a type of closeness that only her and I share; it’s so special and unique that I couldn’t not share about it. My mom has done everything and more for me. I could never repay her for everything she has gone through for me. I love my friendship with my mom and I wouldn’t change it for the world.

Some days are harder than others. There are times I don’t see my mom for weeks at a time and it’s probably one of the hardest things to deal with. It makes us both happy that I am working towards my dreams, but things are about to become even harder. I plan on moving to Alaska hopefully at the end of next semester. What am I ever going to do without my best friend for that long?

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.

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.

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.
