How To Get Over A Breakup

Couples come and go, and although sometimes we feel as though the person we are with is the one, sometimes things happen and relationships end. As I get older I watch more and more of my friends go through breakups as well as breakups of my own. When you're going through a break up it can feel like the end of the world, but it's important to remember that there are things you can do to make yourself feel better, even if it's only for a little while.

While it may be hard to do anything else but wallow, just remember to surround yourself with your friends and the people who love you. Not only will they help you feel better, but getting out of your house and doing fun things will help distract you from thinking about the breakup.

Even though you may be sad, now is a time for you to focus on you and the things you like to do. Regardless of why you and your partner broke up, now is a time for you to focus on the things you like and the things that make you, you. It is easy to get caught up in another person, so take this time to do the things you like to do.

It is also a time for you to try new things, whether you were in a relationship for 2 months or 5 years, try new things and get out of your comfort zone. Hang out with your friends, go on a road trip, the world is your oyster.

The most important thing to remember when going through a breakup is that the pain is temporary. Eventually, you will feel okay again, but don't feel like you have to be okay all the time. Do whatever you need to do to feel better, let out the emotions so that you can start to move on.

Breakups suck, but there is no need to feel rushed to get over someone, take your time and surround yourself with people who support you.

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.

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.
