Dear High School

You were wonderful and amazing but it's over.

Dear High School

Dear High School,

I am not even going to lie, you were pretty great. I have never loved and hated a place as much as I loved and hated you. For four years you were my world, you were my entire graduate class' world. We showed up at your door five days a week and came back constantly for practices, meetings, and games.

I made friends that will last a lifetime during high school, I also lost a few I hoped would be there forever. That was the beauty of high school, we grew up. We walked through the doors freshman year with people and outfits that only lasted a couple of months. I had some of my best moments throughout my high school experience.

People keep saying that high school is the best four years of your life and in those years high school was. It was the place that I cried my eyes out one day and laughed so hard my stomach cramped up the next. They had fights and relationship break-ups that in the moment was the hottest topic of the day. Looking back now high school you were wonderful and amazing even though I complained every day about you.

I am the person I am today because of high school, I grew up throughout the four years. I figured out who some of my real friends were and that just because one guy doesn't like you doesn't mean no one ever will. I learned how truly cruel girls could be and I learned a lot about myself there.

So high school it was one hell of a ride. It was four years that were absolutely amazing. I am so blessed to have made the friends I made and experienced the things I experienced because high school is over. A lot of the time I don't even miss you and you are who I was and now I am becoming who I meant to be. So high school is over and honestly I am not sad because the best years of my life are only just beginning.

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.
