Dear Person Who Stole My Unassigned Assigned Seat In Class

Hey,

I don't really know you, and honestly, you're probably not that bad of a person, but I hate you. You probably don't know who I am, and you may have done it accidentally, but you ruined my day. Yes, I am the person who usually sits in the seat you are currently sitting in. I don't know if you understand where you are sitting, but that is a seat I have sat in for weeks, and therefore it is mine. You have been in this class as long as I have, where id your seat? Do you not like it anymore? Everyone knows you can switch seats the first week of class, possibly the second, but after that, it's set.

You may not realize exactly what you've done, so I will lay it out for you a little clearer:

I am a good person. I sit in this seat every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and I try my best to just be a good person and take notes. However, since you've sat in my seat, I now have to go sit in someone else's seat, and then I look like the kind of person that steals seats. And people who steal seats aren't good people.

So here I sit, across the room from where I want to be, displaced, dejected, and wishing you would have just done the right thing when you walked in and sat in your own seat. I understand change can be refreshing, but not when it only comes at the expense of good people.

Like I said, I don't truly think you're a bad person. You're probably just a good person who made a bad choice. Maybe in another life, we could have been friends, but in this life, you're the jerk who stole my unassigned assigned seat in class. All I want from you is to never sit there again.

Yours truly,

The person whose seat your sitting in

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.
