Advice For The New Girlfriend
Brickhousechick

He's moved on and after many months, I feel as if I have too. When I found out he had moved on, I honestly was surprised in myself for not feeling any hatred. I felt a sense of happiness -- actual happiness. I am happy that he is happy because he deserves the best. He was the right person, but we met at the wrong time. We were both too young and had so much more to learn. While we were together, I learned so much about him, what makes him excited, what ticks him off and exactly how he loves. We had so many plans together, an entire future planned out, but sadly that all came to an end. Our relationship failed and though it is sad, he has moved on, he will find another girl, and I just ask of you to love him with everything you have inside.

He's not an easy guy to love. In fact, it was a challenge towards the end. He shows emotions, but he hardly shows anger. He doesn't express himself as much as he should, but he knows this and he will work on it. He dips like crazy (literally any moment he can have, he will pack a lip). Don't let this get to you, it's just a habit he has. He's a great football player, so support him any chance you get because this is his last year of high school and he'll love to see you there. Most importantly, he'll make you feel beautiful, even when you think you're not. Don't push him to do things he doesn't want to, trust me it'll never work out good. Don't get frustrated when he gets mad because you want to continue taking pictures, he's just a guy. Most of all, don't get mad at him when he wants to go out with the boys. He always has time for you, but sometimes he needs guy time.

Meet his parents the first chance you get.

Unfortunately, I did not meet his parents until we had dated for four months and I deeply regret it. His parents will accept you with open arms and will love you just as much. I am thankful that to this day, I can go up to them and give them a hug, then proceed to go my own way. They are funny, sincere and all-around amazing people to be around. You will love them.

This doesn't mean that when I see you two in public, I will rejoice with happiness. It'll sting, yet that's just the way life works. Don't worry about me, we had our time, and although that time is over, he has learned a lot. He won't love you the way he loved me, but he will love you better. Treasure the time you have with him and don't give up on him. Whatever you do, don't take him for granted. He is so worth it. He's amazing, one-of-a kind, funny, and stupid all in one. After a year of still holding onto him, wishing we could work things out, I am glad to say I have let go. I have let go for you to hold on. It's your time to shine.

Love him with your best, he deserves it and you will receive nothing less.

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.

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.
