Difficulties of Dating in 2016

It is a rough road. You go through so many messages, dates and relationships and still getting nowhere. People don't go out anymore to find their one, true love. Majority of dating happens online. Many people don't have the time to go out and meet people. The people who date online, don't take it seriously. They figure " hey, it's online, I don't really know the person, so it's okay to not go further". But, there are others who do give their date a chance and start fresh. When I go on social media, the majority of my friends are either getting married to their high school sweethearts or their boyfriends and girlfriends from college. You barely hear, " We met online". It is hard for those dating online to find the right one because now, there are people who lie about themselves to make it seem like they are someone else. They don't think it's a big deal and do it for fun or if they're bored but, until the other person calls Nev and Max, then you are in for a rude awakening.

Expectation is taken too literally in dating and we expect all the good but in reality, we need to also expect the bad and take it. Some people are picky about who they want to date. People look for their "type". They want someone who is their type until they find out they aren't so nice. People are afraid of commitment. They don't want to hurt the other person because the other person feels like that's what they're capable of. They have been hurt by someone else and they carry that burden on to the next relationship which is difficult. Sometimes, letting go and trying to really make it work can help you and your date. Don't get me wrong, there are probably stories about husband and wives who met on the internet and are happy. But lately, it's like hitting a wall and going nowhere. Hope for better days and all I have to do is let love come to me.

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
