I saw something the other day that took me back to when we were inseparable, and I wanted so badly to call you immediately and tell you about it.

I didn't, though, because you and I don't really talk anymore. It was then I felt the you-sized hole in my heart again. I don't know at what point everything ended. It seems like one day it was you and me against the world, and the next day, it was you and the world against me. I want you to know that despite the distance and time that's between us now, I haven't stopped loving you and wanting the best for you, and whatever it was that wedged us apart broke my heart.

In the end, I know that we both share the blame for whatever petty mess put us where we are today.

I want to apologize for the things that I did that you blame me for. I harbor no hard feeling toward you, and I would hope you harbor no bad feelings toward me. I would hate for anger to tarnish the wonderful memories we have together.

The times of me knowing you like the back of my hand and always being the person you turn to have faded, but I know that I wouldn't be who I am today if it hadn't been for you. You taught me more than you know. In true times of darkness in my life, you were the light.

Thank you for the laughter, the jokes, and the crazy times we had that will forever be with me. Thank you for showing me your unique perspective on life, and unknowingly changing my view on the world.

If someone had told me back then that we wouldn't grow told together, I would have laughed in their face. But I've learned that people change and grow. When they do, they either grow together or grow apart. You and I grew apart. For so long my place in the world was right next to you, and whoever has that place now is definitely lucky.

I'll love you forever,

Your old best friend

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.
