To whom it may concern

Sorry, my memory is crystal and your actions are like chlorine. You want me to forget because it only takes 26 muscles in your face to smile and years of intensive therapy to address problems. You wish I would just forget about how you threw me down stairs and put holes in our walls but my memory is crystal even if your fist is steel

Sorry, I can't comfort you. You see, I don't know how and I don't think I ever will, but I'll still listen. I'll still stand behind you. I'll stand for you when your legs are weak. There were times where all you needed for sympathy and I gave you facts. It's how I think, because to me a heart is a foreign meanwhile it's your home country.

Sorry, my hands shake when they're in yours. I can't help it, it's like learning to write with your left hand

Sorry, I don't take your compliments like I would wit, because when you tell me I'm beautiful I'm reminded that you've never seen my scars, damage to both mind and tissue. You've seen scars but you've never seen a massacre. I hate compliments because i let myself think for a second that I am beautiful, and i hate looking through rose tinted glasses

Sorry, I can't measure my own self worth, ironic since my ego is insurmountable

Sorry, I pick apart brains like others pick petals for guidance. It's easier for me to break you down into cells and see you as an organism rather than a person

Sorry, I'm so callous. If I keep you at a distance it's only because I know you'll hurt me eventually

Sorry, I'm not what you thought I'd be.

but doesn't that make me more interesting?

Sincerely,

Me

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.
