Don't Run Back To What Broke You

The person who broke you cannot be the one to fix you. Remember that. Sometimes in a moment of weakness we want to fall back to what is familiar. It's so easy to do it, but don't. You may be sitting in your room at night, alone, wondering where it all went wrong. You may be missing them, but don't succumb to the loneliness.

No matter how much they claim they change, don't go back. People will tell you what you want to hear. Even if you decided to give them another chance, things won't ever be the same. The beginning of the relationship was really good, and you may never have that again. If you take them back, they may hide who they really are to trap you in. They may act like they have changed, and they may do or say anything for you to believe them. Hard times bring out the worst in people, and you will realize one day, they in fact never changed. You still love them, but you need to realize, you don't love them, you love the idea of them. You are not weak for wanting to go back and thinking they have changed.

Your past is your past for a reason. If you want a new and better life, you cannot go looking for it in your past. Moving backwards will only increase the time it takes you to move forward. You can't continue to go backwards and be with people who are meant to be in your past, if you want to move forward. You had a good reason to let go of the person. Some people just aren't meant to be together, and that's okay.

You are worth so much more. You are worth more than being with someone who hurts you time after time. You are worth more than someone who drags you down constantly. You deserve to be with someone who brings out the best in you. You deserve to be in a happy, healthy relationship. You deserve the very best, and nothing less.

It's going to be hard to deal with the pain and loneliness. It's going to be hard to not pull out your phone and fall right back into their trap. The pain and loneliness will heal, and you will be okay.

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.
