Let's be honest... breakups suck. Whether or not you did the breaking up, was the dumpee, or "it was mutual" (we all know what that is code for). However, the best part of the healing process is having someone by your side who knows what it is like and there is no one who knows the heartache of a breakup like everyone's favorite new girl, Jessica Day.

1. Going through the initial shock

Let's face it, even if you saw it coming to an end the blow still stings. So you just sit there and ball your eyes out while watching "Dirty Dancing" on repeat. Oh, you didn't do that when you had your break up? ...yeah me either...

2. Figuring out what to do now

After a break-up, you got to regroup and figure out what makes you datable, so you can get back out on the game. Sometimes it's a little rough getting started with this.

3. Dealing with everyone, and I mean everyone, asking you how you are doing

I mean, it's great that you care, but please stop bringing it up. Especially months after it happened, sometimes there are scabs that just should not be picked, we'd like them to heal in their own time and on their own.

4. But also going through the same stage where you're just emotional and literally anything can make you cry

This just goes without saying.

5. Finally accepting and loving single life

And it truly is a freeing feeling!

6. Trying to stay hip while you put yourself back on the dating market

And if you're anything like Jessica Day, *cough me *cough *cough, you've got the soul of a grandma, but jokes of a dad...which can make things hard when you put yourself out there for the first time in a while.

7. Trying to politely keep the creeps away

Once word gets out that you're single and ready to mingle, it seems as though only the weird guys are interested...which is very comforting - not!

8. Knowing that good things comes to those who wait

Because at the end of the day, you love yourself and you don't need a man to define who you are.

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.
