In Your Life You Will Fall In Love Three Times But Only One Of Them Will Be THE Love Of Your Life

The First Love:

This refers to the first love that we have in our lives. This love usually occurs in high school or in early college. When you fall in love for the first time, you think that you're going to be with this person for the rest of your lives.

This love gives off a sense of innocence. You swoon. You think you're going to walk down the aisle with this person.

More often than not, this person that you're in a relationship with in high school is the one you experience many of your "firsts" with. Your first kiss, your first date, your first fight, etc.

You go to prom with this person. You spend every weekend with this person. This person is your world in high school. You think this first love is your only love. You think your parents are crazy for warning you about the heartbreak that they believe is destined to come.

But the truth is, this love was not meant to be anything more than just a "first love".

The Love That You Learn A Hard Lesson From:

This love is the one that teaches you the most about yourself and what you want in a partner. This love takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. You will love this person so much and your love will be incredibly passionate, and yet, you learn the hardest lesson from this love.

This love can be unhealthy for whatever reason. Maybe you argued a lot. Perhaps you two manipulated each other. Or maybe everything ran smoothly but you simply just weren't right for each other.

But, you try to make everything work anyways out of complete desperation.

There is a vicious cycle of drama and issues with this love until eventually you just have to break it off to save your own sanity.

The Surprising Love:

This love often comes out of nowhere. You find this love when you aren't looking for it. Maybe you two bump into each other at the train station or you come across each other in line at the coffee shop.

This one often comes as a shock to you, mostly because you aren't looking for anything.

This person brings out all of the great things in you. You learn so much from this person and they learn so much from you. This type of love is built on support and commitment. You will be with this person throughout both the good and bad in their lives.

But this love will mean the most to you. This love is THE love of your life.

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.
