24 Cheap Engagement Rings To Buy If You're Broke AF And Want To Pretend You're Engaged To Your Ex-Boyfriend A.J.

For years, you've been dreaming about the moment A.J. proposes to you. You've thought about your perfect ring a million times. You've even sent photos of your fav rings to all of your friends, just in case A.J. enlists their help when he's ready to pop the question. But times are tough and we're all struggling to make ends meet. Also, A.J. dumped you. Over text. But you shouldn't let any of that stop you from deceiving all of your friends and family into believing you and A.J. are tying the knot. Here are 24 swoon-worthy rings to help you do just that.

1. Vintage round cut center stone ($63)

This gorgeous ring is only $63 so you'll have plenty of money left over to not spend on dates with A.J.

2. Prong solitaire ring ($99.97)

This ring sparkles the way A.J.'s eyes used to. But you can't see them anymore because... you know... you can't see him anymore. Also, he blocked you.

3. Natural white sapphire ring ($49.99)

A.J. would love this elegant ring if he wasn't busy loving his new girlfriend.

4. Sterling silver opal ring ($38)

Her name is Stacy.

5. Rose quartz ring ($49.60)

She's blonde and she does CrossFit.

6. London blue topaz ring ($110)

This ring is reminiscent of Princess Diana's famed sapphire ring. A.J. used to call you his princess. Now, he doesn't call you at all.

7. Edwardian statement ring ($50.59)

This ring is very Blake Lively, which is funny because Stacy looks like Blake Lively. But somehow prettier?

8. Rose gold pear-shaped ring ($39.16)

This ring is almost too pretty. There's a chance that when you show people, they'll get suspicious because A.J. would never pick out such a nice ring. Then, they might catch onto the fact that you bought it for yourself just to keep up the facade.

9. Art deco ring ($63)

Stacy is also a doctor.

10. Canary yellow ring ($39.98)

This rock will dazzle as you scroll through Stacy's Insta feed, trying super hard not to accidentally like one of her phot—

11. STACY JUST POSTED THIS PHOTO.

12. WHAT THE HELL?

13. YOU AND A.J. BROKE UP FOUR MONTHS AGO.

14. WHERE DID HE GET THAT KIND OF MONEY??

15. Uh oh...

16. You just posted this.

17. You captioned it with: "Can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you."

18. And you tagged A.J.

19. Your friends are quickly pointing out that you just zoomed-in on a photo of Jennifer Aniston.

20. This is bad.

21. Maybe you shouldn't have picked a million dollar ring.

22. Honestly, still really not cool of your friends to call you out in the comments.

23. OMG. A.J. is calling you.

24. Looks like someone just got unblocked ;)

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:

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.
