Dear Reader, You Walk With The Force Of A Thousand Suns And You're Unstoppable
Selena Sotell

Dear reader, first I would like to say that you are doing all right. Your constant efforts are more than enough, and one day, soon enough, you'll accomplish whatever it is you're striving for.

It's OK if sometimes you just need to stop for a moment and breathe.

It's OK if sometimes you need to stop because everything is overwhelming you.

It's OK if sometimes you decide to start over, even if you've made a lot of progress thus far.

It's OK, and it is going to be OK.

I'm pretty sure that we can all agree on how much of a burden the simplicity of being alive is. We can all agree how growing up is one of the most anxiety-inducing experiences we can go through. It's riveting, too – but mostly frightening.

It's OK if you're probably living one of your happiest moments, and somehow you're unhappy. It's a common thing, I believe. I've been in your shoes. I'm in your shoes, I think.

It's OK if you still have no idea where you want to take your life. Being barely in your twenties is still early for most of us – not everybody can build a house from the ground at this age. Not everybody can start a business that will soon become a successful business. Not everybody can earn fame at such a young age. You should never bring yourself down for the success of others.

Those who manage to accomplish it should be a source of inspiration: if they can do it, why can't I? Sure, it might take time. But an unruly and fierce belief that you can always win should stride by your side. That hunger that you feel should fuel your resolve and drive. You're unstoppable.

Dear reader, you are a calamity. A force to be reckoned with. You're the winner of your own story. You win that gold medal whenever you pick yourself up and continue the patchy road.

Dear reader, you and I have both demons of our own, but they don't define you. You're bigger than a Titan – than the universe. And you are unstoppable.

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.
