21 Things We Should Say More Often

We say a lot. Through our looks, our acts, and most importantly, through our words. What we say reflects so much about ourselves, and how we respond to our daily life.

Here are 21 things we should say more often:

21. "You're welcome."

This is just polite and nice to hear after someone says thank you.

20. "I need help."

It's OK to admit it. After all, everyone needs help. Sometimes more than others.

19. "Please."

Whatever you're asking for, this might help get you closer to it.

18. "Thank you."

Not just on Thanksgiving or birthdays, but every day. Always stay thankful.

17. "You're great."

Most people are. So why not tell them?

16. "I can."

Why say "I can't" and get that stuck in your head? YOU CAN.

15. "Yes."

Cause why not?

14. "Excuse me."

Promise the looks will be a to nicer than if you don't say it.

13. "You can do it."

Everyone needs some encouragement.

12. "I'm sorry."

It might be tough to say, but so worth it.

11. "I forgive you."

Have a softer heart. I promise it will make life easier.

10. "This will pass."

It may be good, or it may be bad. But it will pass so enjoy it or stick it out, just a little longer.

9. "I'm not perfect."

Even if you think you are, you're not. Everyone has bad days, and hearing someone say this will make you feel less alone on your "not so perfect" days.

8. "You're amazing."

Watch how their face turns into one huge smile after you say this.

7. Nothing.

Sometimes it's better to say too little, than too much.

6. "I care."

Everyone needs someone to care. Even if it's the most unimportant thing to you, care about it.

5. "I don't know."

It's OK. Not everyone knows everything, and that is OK.

4. "You're beautiful."

Everyone is beautiful in their own way, so tell them! (Even if it's a guy.)

3. "Everything will be alright."

It will. I promise.

2. "I'm listening."

How nice is it to hear this when you feel like nobody cares? Pretty nice.

1. "I love you."

Everyone wants to be loved by someone. Tell someone you love them. And mean it.

Say it loud. Say it often. Say it kindly. Say something kind to someone each day. I promise this world can use it, and whoever you speak to, well, it can and probably will, change their whole day.

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.
