Dear Best Friend

Thanks for making me not weird

Dear High School and College Best Friend,

I don't know where I would be without you in my life! You and I have been through the ups and the downs in the past six years. I would not be the person I am today without you.

You get me into trouble and out of trouble, and always know how to make me laugh about a bad situation a week later. We can make anything fun, even if it's just making a necklace at midnight.

All those late nights in high school and midnight car rides with six other people in the car were nothing compared to going to Michael's with my mom and coming back to my place and making more jewelry. We really know how to party!

All those late-night talks about how we're going to go tanning and get skinny every summer together, only to sit on the couch and drink margs instead and go to McD's super late instead of something healthier!

Thanks for always knowing how to blare Jesse McCartney, Justin Bieber, and Nick Jonas sitting outside my house and my sister not knowing what to do so she walks off and thinks we are way weirder than we really are.

Thank you so much for always being there for me no matter what happens, and never judging me. It's been six years — let's make another 60 years!

xoxo,

Jordan

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.
