4 Feelings You Should Never Take For Granted
Violet Alexandria

1. Falling in love

In the beginning, love is not something people take for granted. It always seems to happen fast, and it is something you take time to enjoy. However, over time, love is something people seem to forget about in relationships. After spending a long period of time with someone, we forget how it felt to fall in love with that person. We forget to take time to enjoy the little things with that person and we end up spending more time focusing on the bad things. We remember the feelings of happiness and love, but we remember it more as something that we used to feel. However, it does not have to be that way. We need to take time to remember love as it is happening rather than letting it die down so that we don't have to look back on it and we can enjoy it forever. Take time to stop and smell the flowers. Please don't take your loved one's feelings for granted.

2. Hugging someone you've missed

When you're away from someone for a long time, you'll naturally start to miss them. When you finally see that person again, one of the best feelings is wrapping your arms around them and participating in a long embrace. Feeling the warmth of the other person in your arms and smelling their familiar scent helps dismiss the frustrations of being apart from that person for so long. Most people these days feel like intimacy is something you have to save for your significant other, but it's not. Hug your friends. Tell them you love them. Destroy the stigma that you can't love anyone but your significant others.

3. Seeing your pet everyday

A lot of people take pets for granted, and I don't think that's right. This animal is something that looks up to you with nothing but love and affection, and a lot of folks don't seem to realize that. Your pets are wonderful little creatures that will be there for you when no one else was. They'll sense when you're sad and try to make you feel better. They'll be the cause of endless hours of laughs and good memories. All they do is love you unconditionally, and they don't understand why you aren't reciprocating those feelings. You need to love them back because one day they won't be there anymore, and you will wish you had loved them when you had the chance.

4. Finding a new band/song you connect with

Music is something that people of all shapes, sizes, races, and ages can relate to. It expresses your feelings perfectly even when you can't do it for yourself. When you find a new song or artist that you connect with, you get a kind of rush that's similar to falling in love. You feel as though you're with a person you've known for years. Music is an ever expanding universe of wonders, and every time you find a new band you love it's a whole new world of discoveries.

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:

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.
