To My Long Distance Best Friend

Distance is hard. It’s even harder when you don’t know for certain if you will see someone again in the future. I know, however, that we will see each other again. How can I be so sure of it? Because friendship takes work. Why would you put so much time into someone that you don’t think you will ever see again?

I wish I could have been there when your dog had to be put to sleep. I wish I could have been there when your girlfriend broke up with you. I wish I could have been there for everything, and I hope I don’t miss anything important in the future. But there is a good chance I will. So many things (both good and bad) happen spontaneously, and it is basically impossible for me to be there for all of them. That doesn’t mean I can’t try, though.

Thanks for putting up with me through long distance. It’s hard to let someone know how much you love them when you can’t see them in person. On the other hand, it’s also hard to yell at someone over a telephone. Thankfully, there is not a lot of yelling in our friendship, but it’s good to know that we’ll make it if that is ever necessary.

Thanks for apologizing to me when you thought you maybe hadn’t been the best friend you could have been. And thank you for letting me apologize when I did the same thing. Sorry for telling you I would come visit and then didn't come for whatever reason. It wasn’t because I don’t love you.

You are one of the most fantastic people I have ever met, and I hope that I never have to go through life without you. I know I have told you all of this before (and don’t worry, I’ll definitely tell you again), but I hope that other people see this and pass it on to their friends who maybe don’t live so close by. So keep on keepin’ on, and I’ll see you soon.

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:

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.
