Why Your Best Friend Is Your True Soulmate

7 words: the most important person in your life.

What person fits that description?

The romantic movies and tv shows that I grew up watching always talked about that one person would understand you better than everyone. I assumed that I would find someone who would fulfill all of my fantasies and fairytales. I wanted someone who knew when I was upset and knew what to do to cheer me up. I wanted someone who could talk to me for hours and hours on end without ever getting bored. I wanted someone who I could rely on: someone I could trust.

The unconditional love that I was seeking had actually been present in my life for a long time. I soon realized that this person that I was looking for was right in front of me for the past 13 years: my best friend.

My best friend is single-handedly the most important person in the world. She is the one person I share everything with. She is the one person who I know will never judge me. She is the one person who will always have my back.

When we first met in the 3rd grade, my life was definitely changed for the better. Since then, there have been countless sleepovers, millions of bad inside jokes, and so much love between us. She ended up moving to LA our sophomore year of high school and when she left, it felt like half of my heart had gone with her. This was when I realized that there would be no one like her in my life. There was no way that I could find someone who understood me more than her. This is when I knew that she was my true soulmate.

Even if I did find that fairytale love that I wanted as a kid, my best friend will always be the one person who I can tell everything to. She has shaped me into the person that I am today. She has made me more confident, fun, and has helped validate my stupid ideas and jokes. We could be with a hundred other people and only be laughing at each other because of something dumb we did 5 years ago. It’s hard to replace a bond like that.

Now, you may be thinking that this sounds like a love letter to my best friend. Well, it is. I love her more than I’ve ever loved anyone in this world. I owe everything that I am to her and I know that my life would be 100 times worse if she wasn’t in it.

The word “soulmate” isn’t often used to describe a best friend, but it is a perfect word to define the bond between two best friends. The late night boy talks, the horrible Snapchat pictures, the constant tagging in Instagram memes, the jokes that only we think is funny: these all describe the amazing relationship that I have with my best friend. The person that you do these things with is a person who should be cherished. That person, your best friend, is your true soulmate.

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.
