A Breakup Letter To Pomping

It has been a fun run but I'm afraid this is the end.

A Breakup Letter To Pomping
Kahlie Hill

Dear Pomping,

I know that we had a fun run. We have had our fair share of long nights, tears, and laughs. Remember that time that I dropped all of my pomps all over the ground and proceeded to cry for 15 minutes before I picked them up? I do. Remember the time that I spent a Saturday night pomping because life was just really stressful and it seemed like a good idea? I do. Remember that time somebody offered to eat pomping glue in exchange for hours? I do. Regardless of my decisions made in the pomping room, I know that there were many memories made. We have created such tight relationships and became so close to people that we have met pomping. We have learned that our bodies don't actually require that much sleep to function somewhat properly. We have found a deep appreciation for pomping parties. We have learned that getting screens with only two or three colors are a complete blessing. We have learned not to eat the pomps, although we still aren't sure why anybody would.The scars on my legs from the chicken wire may fade, but the memories will not. So Pomping, I just want to thank you, because you've made me that much stronger.

We know that the end result is worth it. All of our hard earned hours that were not spent watching Netflix were completely worth it. We know that we are creating a deck that people will come into town for walkarounds and admire all of the efforts that we have put in. We know that our alumni will be proud of our efforts. We know that future Cowboys will look up to our decks in hopes that some day they can participate in America's Greatest Homecoming.

Saying this, I'm breaking up with you. I know that it has been a good time and it was really fun while it lasted... but I'm afraid that I need a break. My body cannot take this stress anymore, and I think that I'm better off without you for a bit. It's not that I don't love you dearly because I truly do. I gave you my all, and I cannot wait to try this again next fall, but I'm going to have to separate us for the time being. It's not you, it's me.

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.
