An open letter to the guy I though was different.

Dear Guy I thought was different

You know who you are. I just want to get a couple things off my chest.

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for being my friend, my ally, and at one point an important part of my life. Despite the fact that our relationship never went past the friend stage, I will never regret the time We talked. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so we were meant to be in each other's lives. Sure, I could go on and say that you missed out, how I'm an awesome person and all that stuff but that wouldn't do anything. We're both awesome people. Us never being a couple could never take away from that. Honestly, I still consider us to be friends no matter where life takes us. I'm only one text or Snapchat away.

I do want to make one thing clear: I've moved on. I don't care what you've thought in the past or what excuse you were going to tell me this time. I'm seriously over it. Despite what you think. I'm over everything; the pointless drama, the over-thinking, and the self-doubt. I no longer care that you weren't interested in me in me anymore. I've Started a new chapter in my life. I’m ready to have new experiences and grew as a person. You've even noticed that I've changed. I care about you, obviously, but I know where we stand. Neither one of us needs to deal with the what-ifs or maybe-some-days. We both deserve loving committed relationships where the person you're with is 100% invested in you and vice versa. So maybe I am a text away, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be the same towards you as I once was.

If there's one thing about people that can get you down is that we're always disappointing. Either we're disappointing other people or disappointing ourselves. It is way too easy to break your own heart. I was guilty of that I think. I got too optimistic and thought we were on some path to greatest when in reality i was just someone who kept you busy while you were bored in a place you knew no one. When things didn't go in my favor, I probably placed the blame on you because I was upset. That wasn’t fair to you.

It took time for me to reflect and finally accept that you weren’t perfect either and that even though you said you did nothing wrong you never looked at it as if you were in my shoes. Whether it was bad timing, lack of compatibility, or maybe just the fact that I was getting the attention i didn’t it in so long it felt so right. At the time when I would blow up at you it seemed so horrible that you were ignoring me or you were busy but when I look at it now it's not a big deal.

To be completely honest, I'm glad we never met. I say that because clearly you meant something to me and if we would have met I know at least for me It would have been a lot harder feelings. Our lives may be going toward separate paths, but they're both paths of greatest. I'm absolutely happy with where My life is taking me and all I can say is that I wish the same for you.


Love,

The girl who will always care for you

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.
