To The One I Never Thought I'd Catch, You're My Best Friend

My love,

Where do I even begin?

If you would have asked me two years ago if I would be dating the kid I met randomly at a track meet my senior year, I would have laughed in your face.

Him? The kid who was so afraid to come talk to me that his friends had to literally carry him over to me?

Yeah, OK.

I never expected to speak to you ever again after that night. Yet, every now and then, you’d pop into my inbox.

Just simply checking to see how I was, but you never kept the conversation going into the next day.

Until you finally did.

And just like that, we were best friends. We went from talking once every three months to falling asleep on FaceTime. From being complete strangers to me basically living at your house on the weekends.

I would never have guessed that you would be my soulmate. The person I tell everything to.

My best friend.

Obviously, we talk like normal couples, telling each other how much we love each other and using cute nicknames. But even before we started dating — before I had any idea that we would be more than friends — I wanted to come home and tell you about my day.

I complained about everything to you. School, annoying girls and even boys (which I now feel horrible for). I found myself telling you things that I only ever told my best friends.

The first time we fell asleep on FaceTime, I woke up having no idea what the hell it meant. I went to my friends freaking out.

What did it mean? Did you like me? Were we going to do this every night? Was I supposed to ask you about it?

I was internally imploding.

And now, I don't know what to do when I don't get to talk to you all day. We haven't been dating all that long, but you are literally one of my best friends.

(You'll never take Katelyn's place since she has seniority, but still.)

You have made me the happiest I've ever been. I don't care what we are doing; as long as I'm with you, I'm thoroughly enjoying my life.

Our nap dates, trips to Infinitos, going to White Rock... any and all of it, I love.

I know all of this sounds extremely cheesy, but you're The King of Cheese. I will admit your humor has taken a little while to get used to. You are literally a 12-year-old in a 20-year-olds body. But you make me laugh like no one ever has.

You make me squeak, which is hard to do.

Never in a million years would I have seen myself sitting on your couch with your family while you're at work. Getting ready for New Year's with your mom and sister. Chasing your niece and nephew around their house.

But here I am. Watching "Riverdale" with you and your mom. And there's no other place I'd rather be.

I love you 5ever.

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.

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.
