After graduating high school many people tell you that things will change, and boy are they right.

Once you start high school, you have about 10 to 15 friends. You all just came from the same middle school and know each other really well. As time goes on, those 10 to 15 people becomes about six or seven which then turns to three or five.

Point is, you might end up with one or two true friends at the end of your high school career. Then college comes and people go their separate ways, and that's what happened to me and a few close friends.

At the end of the day, I understand. You go off to college and you make new friends. You may even be hours away. Therefore, if you go off to college and you forget about me, that's not a problem.

If you wanted to be friends with me and talk to me more often, you would message me. It's ok to grow up and move on. I'm ok.

This doesn't mean that we won't be friends anymore. In fact, we could still be friends, we just won't be best friends.

There comes a point in life when you have to realize that people grow apart. They end up wanting different things and that's okay.

You don't need to feel like your tied or forced to talk to me just because we were really close back then. Things happen, life gets hectic and people sometimes change and that should be ok. It should be something that we all accept at one point or another.

Growing up can mean many different things. It means you have to mature, take care of yourself and figure out where you want to go in life. As you grow older many friends start becoming more distant and that is ok.

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.
