You are more than a back up plan.

5 Signs He Doesn't Deserve You

We've all been there before. Your best friend calls you crying about how some random guy decided out of the blue that the relationship "wasn't quite right". or how he pulled the "just friends" card. Of course, we hear the same things. "He was the one", "I loved him", all of the attempts to justify his behavior. No. There is no excuse for treating a human being like crap to make yourself feel better. Yes, this can go both ways with a guy and a girl, but let's focus on reasons why that guy in your life may need to be thrown out the door.

#1. He doesn't call. Like ever. Yes, phone calls seem weird nowadays but only texting is not a relationship. Effort is key here. If a guy can't dedicate 20 minutes of his time to you, then please get out before even bigger dedications come along, like a wedding ring. Or you know, a baby.

#2. He only does what makes him happy. Ask yourself if the guy you're seeing has ever sacrificed a night out with his friends to watch a movie with you, or says no when he doesn't like a date night you suggest. If he has never done anything for you without putting his emotions first, then he's not the one you should be wasting your time on.

#3. He talks about other girls. No, not talking about his girl friends, or his mom. Girls that he says he'd like to sleep with if you guys ever break up. Yes, some guys will do this in an attempt to see if you get jealous. Jealousy is an ego boost. He wants to see your reaction. Not to mention guys that say these things tend to be the ones who end up cheating. Not worth it.

#4. He talks bad about your friends and family. Yes, not everyone is going to get along. However, if he can't be civil with your best friend or your favorite cousin, then there is something wrong here. The guy who deserves you will make the effort, regardless of how he actually feels towards those closest in your life.

#5. He leaves in the morning. Early. He tells you "he has plans", ones that never include you. Only sign you need that this guy is not the one. You're not a back up plan when he's bored, nor an object to use at night. You deserve to be someone's priority. If the guy you are seeing fits any of these reasons, then please do yourself a favor and leave. Find someone who actually deserves your time and effort.

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.
