They are the only ones who understand how special the right paragraph can be.

If you consider yourself a writer, I hope you're surrounded by other writers. Whether that means you have one friend who's also a writer or you have a whole group of friends who are also writers, I just hope you have someone.

Writer friends are special to us. They see the world as we do. They notice the fine details in a room. They can look at a scenario and think through the different ways it could end. They can give you advice on how to enhance your story and share in the genuine excitement you feel about completing a chapter.

Friends who share your love of writing are often very creative. They can help you overcome a severe case of writer's block with a good brainstorming session. They can point out errors in your spelling, grammar, and sentence structure. They are constantly ready to share their next story idea with you. I mean, come on — Who else is going to listen to you talk about characters as if they were your children?

With a love of writing usually comes a love of reading. You two can browse bookstores together for hours on end. If there is a book being made into a film, you're there. But, of course, make sure to point out how much better the book was and how everyone should go read it for themselves.

If you are a writer, you need writer friends. Whether you write plays, short stories, articles, or any other type, find someone to do it with. Find someone who is moved by the emotion held within pages and gets excited at the twist and turn of a plot. After all, you're going to need someone to buy your first book!

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.
