An Open Letter To The Man Who Came When I Stopped Looking

It was funny meeting you, because never before had I been so awe struck about a random stranger. I turned to my best friend and asked who you were, determined to search for an oppertunity to meet you some day. By nature, I tell my best friend the next time we’re in the same room and she tells me to let you know she says hello. I’m hesitant at first, but then think about how amazing it would be to hold a conversation with you.

I strike a conversation with you and manage to push through my nerves and even achieve a few giggles. I’m shaking, sweating, trying my hardest not to mess up my words. You’re so good looking, and smooth, and genuinely kind. Everyone else in the room disappears and I can’t stop focusing on you. You’re almost too good to be true.

I wasn’t looking for love, and you were fresh out of a relationship. Neither of us were exactly searching for a happy ending. However, we exchanged Snapchats and phone numbers anyway. We talked, and talked, and talked. We asked questions, and stayed up all night keeping each other company because falling asleep and not talking was just unacceptable. In the moment, I was euphoric.

Deep down I was scared, and constantly worrying. Was it too good to be true? Were you going to just snap one day and be someone completely different? Days went by, we started spending more time together. The euphoric feeling never left. You were so kind to me, and so good. It felt good to find someone who hated fighting as much as I do. I never wanted this feeling to go away.

You put up with my depressive episodes. You didn’t judge me for my mishaps, mistakes, or any of my flaws. You genuinely loved me and made me feel I’m worth something on this big old planet. You made me feel warm and welcomed. I felt like no matter what I went through, as long as I had you to come back too I could get through it and perservere.

I was scared for nothing, because you haven’t disappointed and I’m so confident that you never will. You are my soulmate. So I just want to thank you for everything you do, and are going to do in the future. I needed you and all the genuine love you have to give in my life and I will always feel like the luckiest girl in the world with you by my side. Thank you so, so much. I love 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.
