A Breakup Letter To Netflix

I love you, but let's break up.

A Breakup Letter To Netflix
Giphy

Dear Netflix,

I think it's time we part ways. I have spent far too much time with you lately, and you haven't allowed me time for myself or my other obligations. My homework misses me. My friends miss me. My family misses me. My life misses me. I really just need to return to some of the things I did before you came into my life.

We have been through a lot -- ups and downs, twists and turns, basically everything. You have seen me smile, you have seen me laugh, and you've seen me cry, but I cannot let it happen anymore. You have a show for every mood. Whether I am having a bad day or a good day, you always know what to say. You provide me with some of the best therapy. I know I can turn to you, but I think it's time we find a new way to cope with my stress. Not that you are not good enough, but sometimes you are just too good. You make me forget my problems rather than deal with them. I need to learn to face them head-on rather than you taking them away without even resolving them.

Thank you for being there for every breakup, every lost friend, and every failed test. You have truly seen me at my worst. Without you, I would not have watched "Fuller House" and gotten that laugh I so desperately needed or realized that things will get better. I also would not have watched "Glee" and realized that there is a song to relate to every single moment in my life. And finally, I would not have been able to watch every single Disney movie ever made when I needed to be reminded that I was a kid at heart even if I was growing up just a little too fast. Thanks for all you have done for me and all you have shown me.

Thank you for supporting me when I was on top of the world. You helped me celebrate some of my best moments so far. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to watch "Friends" because it kept my good mood going. I wouldn't have been able to watch "Law and Order SVU" when I felt like I solved my own problems so I could solve the world's problems. And finally, I wouldn't have been able to watch all of those comedies when I felt like giggling with my friends. Thanks for letting me be on top of the world and celebrating with me.

I didn't want to have to do this, but I think it is time. I need to return to the things that miss me, my homework, my friends, my family, and my life. You have done your part in my life, and it is time for you to touch someone else's.

I love you, but let's break up.

XOXO,

Your No. 1 Fan

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.
