Channing And Jenna Are Splitting, Pigs Are Flying, And Love Is A Lie

Excuse me while I go watch "Step Up" and cry.

These past ten years have seen many turmoils. From several U.S. political upsets, to the incredibly disappointing ending of "Lost," to the BP oil spill, to the Ebola scare that actually didn't affect the U.S. as bad as predicted but still showed us that we weren't ready for a wide-spread epidemic, to a multitude of other events, this decade has been weird and tough.

However, two people have been our saving grace through it all: Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum.

First, they captured our hearts by having the best meet-cute story ever in their movie "Step Up" in 2006. Then, they get married three years, getting completely unique and un-ironic matching tattoos. Even THEN, they continued to delight everyone with their love, from having the cutest daughter ever to starring in one of the best "Lip Sync Battle" episodes together.

Now, they've done the unthinkable: on April 2, 2018, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum have announced their separation after 9 years of marriage.

Announced on their Instagram pages, they have "lovingly chosen to separate as a couple." While they stated "nothing has changed about how we love one another," they attributed the split to love taking them "on different paths for now." Fans and followers alike were given an honest, yet vague statement and explanation.

I remember watching movies like "She's The Man," "White House Down," and "Magic Mike" with my friends and groaning about how unfair it was that Channing Tatum was taken. I mean, the sexiest man alive was tied down?!

Every single time, however, we would remember Jenna Dewan, and we'd admit to ourselves that if anyone deserved the chiseled, adorable awkwardness of Channing, it was the equally chiseled, adorable awkwardness of Jenna.

I mean, look at them.

Someone that attractive deserves someone equally or more attractive, and these two are perfect examples.

Now, I don't pretend to know either of the Tatums personally. I don't know about their struggles as people, as a couple, or as a family. It's a shame that they had to reveal this deeply intimate decision to the world as an admitted "consequence" of their lives in the entertainment spotlight.

I wish both Channing and Jenna luck as they move through this difficult time. I hope they both find happiness in the end.

In the meantime, however, I'm going to watch "Step Up" on repeat and steadily lose faith in love.

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.

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.
