Sometimes, it's better just to say nothing.

7 Things That I Totally Love Hearing About Myself
Tomberry

If you're like me, you absolutely LOVE hearing things about yourself that you seemingly already didn't know. I've been in kind of a slump recently, and I can honestly say that hearing things that I already know helps me a ton! Just to shed some light on the subject, here are some things that I just LOVE hearing from other people!

1. "You look so much better with makeup!"

Oh really?!? I had no clue!!! That's totally NOT why I cake my face in makeup every day!!!

2. "Your hair looked so much better longer!"

Yeah! This is totally helpful because I totally WASN'T regretting my decision to cut it in the first place.

3. "Wow, you're really blind."

This often comes after people putting on my glasses OR after I fail an attempt at reading something or identifying a person from a distance. I totally didn't know before you told me. Thank you.

4. "You're going into Theatre Education? You're not gonna make any money in that field."

Yeah, because I totally didn't know that going into this.

5. "You're really loud."

Once again, thank you, for pointing out to obvious. I must not have been able to hear how loud I was because I can't see.

6. "You're always in your room, don't you ever do anything?"

Yes, I do. I'm perfectly fine. You don't need to check on me.

7. "You'd be a lot cuter if you didn't snort when you laugh."

Wow, yeah, because I totally wanna run out of oxygen when I'm laughing.


Moral of the story is, think before you speak. Because people MOST DEFINITELY wanna hear all the crappy, annoying things they already know about themselves repeat over and over.


P.S. for those of you who didn't get it,

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.
