An open letter to my Ex- Best Friend

To my Ex- Best friend,

We used to do everything together. I was there for you and you were there for me. You were my absolute favorite person on the planet and I trusted you with everything I had. And that's not an easy thing for me to do. I loved you, but after everything that you have put me through, that love turned to loath. I blame you for all my negative thoughts and emotions. You are the reason I am sometimes crippled with anxiety or sadness. What you have done to me is unforgivable. How do you wake up one day and decide that you don't want to be best friends with the person that you've grown with for as long as we did? How do you just blame someone for the ending of the friendship because they were "toxic"? And I'm sorry that you thought that I was the toxic one, because in reality you were. You still are.

Even though you are no longer in my life and I don't want you anywhere near my life, you still linger. Not in person, but in my thoughts. Every day I think about everything you took away from me. You took my happiness, my self-love, my sanity and the biggest one, all the rest of my closest friends. You leaving me, it hurt, but I could get over that. But you getting everybody else to choose your side, surreal. I couldn't believe that you could be that evil to ruin my life that easily and with no regret. I was broken, but now I'm learning how to put the pieces back together with the help of people that actually support me, unlike you did in the end. I don't need you in my life and I don't want you in my life.

I think I could speak for anybody when I say that I don't want, or need, someone to stay in my life if they've ever hurt me the way that you have. Now because of you I have to learn how to pull myself out of the hole you dug for me. I have to learn how to re-accept myself in other people's eyes. I have to learn how to trust that people won't leave me like you did, or blindside me like you did. Even though I'm the one going through hell, I actually feel bad for you. I feel bad that you decided to push away an important person in your life and I'm sorry that you won't be able to grow from this situation like I get to. And all in this process of rebuilding myself and growing, I'm glad that I can be able to rid myself of you and the demons that you put on me.

Loathingly,

Your Ex- Best friend

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.
