Before I thank you for putting up with me for all of these years, I just want to tell you how amazing and special you are to me, because you of all people deserve to know. Despite the beauty that is shown through your looks, your inner beauty is what makes you so exceptional. The kindness you possess is astonishing, and makes everyone surrounding you strive to be a better person. Your intelligence is something I have always envied, because with that you will accomplish anything in this world. With a heart and a brain like yours, you will conquer and do so many amazing things, so please do not let anyone belittle your confidence. Never let anyone tell you that you cannot do something, because they are dead wrong.

Your strength is also one of your most admirable qualities. Your will to push through and do whatever it takes has motivated me to succeed, and become a better person. Over the course of our friendship I have had the privilege of watching you evolve into the beautiful, smart, funny, intelligent and strong person you are today.

You have had such a positive impact on my life, and I just want to thank you for never leaving my side. Thank you for listening to me complain about the boy I obsessed over who didn’t like me back, and for assuring me he was the “dumbest person ever” for choosing another girl. Thank you for helping me realize my strengths, and giving me the confidence I need to pursue my dreams. Thank you for the countless amounts of sleepovers spent watching cliché romance movies and indulging in ice cream. Thank you for aimlessly driving around while hopelessly attempting to “sing” along to our favorite songs. Thank you for helping me become the person I am today, and for influencing my decisions. Thank you for reminding me that I deserve the world and that I should never settle. But, most of all, thank you for not only being my best-friend, but for being the greatest sister I have ever had.

Love,

Your Best-Friend and Sister

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.

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.
