An Open Letter To Small Businesses
Raleigh Flyfishing

There's so many thing I could write. Small business is such a beautiful pursuit. What most people don't see is how much time and effort it takes to create a business from love and passion towards customers. The amount of time that owners spend carefully planning their shops and vision.

I'm here to say that I love each and every one of you. No matter what business you have, no matter if it went out of business or it's soaring. You all are so wonderful and deserve so much credit. Every single business was hand crafted to provide a service or product for women and men around the world. It keeps our country alive. It's the principals of America and without small business so many people would be unemployed.

Small businesses around the world should get so much attention but a lot of the times fails because the internet age has taken over.

I'm here to say I appreciate every single step of your journey. From planning out your shop to cleaning and hiring staff. From investing your hard earned money into advertising and trying your hardest to bring the most valeuable touch to our lives, your hand crafted vision is beyond magical. It's so deserved for you to soar high and it doesn't matter what your business is, each one is so unique and a gift to our world. Without you we would be an unemployed generation of losers. You make people extremely excited greeting us with your tender love and care for our opinions.

You have thoughtfully risked your life for us to enjoy your amazing products and services. The sleepless nights and time away from family and friends to keep your store running. The amount of endless hours and 100 hour work weeks do not go unnoticed. Our generation thanks you for your remarkable persistence and willingness to give us a piece of your heart.

Small business is not only brave, unique, and clever it is change and provides locals a fun, memorable experience. Our world seriously thanks you for everything you do for us and the time you take to gather local men and women into a community not just a "group of people"

You see, community is incredible and without small business we really wouldn't have any.

Did we all forget how much they do for us? Did we all forget that walking into a store has so much more depth than ordering online?

Order online from a small business. Make sure to say thank you because the time they spend on making it possible for you to order what you love is unfathomable to the consumers eye.

I ask men and women around the world to shop local and next time you visit tell them how much it means to them.

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.
