Be The Bigger Person

Shake it off like an etch a sketch.

Everyone makes mistakes. Big and small. What matters is how you handle them and take the fact that you did the wrong thing. Or on the other side of the rope did the wrong thing, be the more mature one to put them in shock and show them that they should not mess with you. Owning up to your mistakes is so important. Instead of trying to hide the obvious. Maybe people that you thought you'd have for the rest of your life left. Remember that for everyone lost, you will gain someone else even better than what you had.

People leave and things change but you need to be the bigger person and handle things the right and mature way. If you for some reason reach out to someone who has hurt you and lost you, you think they screen shot the text and send it to others talking bad about you, let them because you're being the bigger person and just by doing that, they're small. Whatever you do, do not let people have the power to make you feel small. If you do, they win. That's what they want, don't give it to them.

Notice how I said "lost you" a few sentences ago.Anyone you think you lost actually lost you. You're such a spectacular person who has so much to offer a friend, significant other and the world. You're going to make someone great of yourself I guarantee it. If you ever think that no one believes in you just think of me, Rosina Facciponte. I'm on your side. I may not know your exact scenario of why this catches your attention so much now but I can guarantee you that I understand. When you think no one could possibly be on your side, I bet some can and will understand where you're coming from. You just have to surround yourself with the right people.

Life is full of mistakes and lessons learned. Don't let them break you down because that is just what they want. Shake it off like an etch a sketch and create more beautiful than ever image of yourself and show it off, flaunt it because you deserve to be confident and happy.

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.
