Finding Love in 2019 is a Difficult Feat

Not trying to sound cliche, but for real where did it all go?

This generation has become so dry lately. We prefer to use texting rather than seeing people face to face. We solve our conflicts by texting about it rather than having a real conversation with each other. Dating apps have become the norm for meeting significant others, scratch that, I mean people to "hang out" with.

We aren't in tact with our emotions, but rather just fake it. We fake things that shouldn't ever be faked. We pretend to feel something when in reality we don't feel a thing.

Where did the love go?

Where did those friday date nights that I constantly hear older generations reminiscing about go? Why can't we go back to that time?

I don't fully understand to this day why "Netflix and Chill" has become the new norm for our generation instead of going to the movies or even just a cheap dinner date.

We've lost the love somewhere along the way. Somewhere we stopped caring about getting to know each other but rather just jump into things that at the end of the day just leave you feeling more lonely than you ever did before.

We need to calm down a bit. This generation needs to realize that this is not how its suppose to be or should be. You're not too busy to date, you just are looking in the wrong places for the wrong thing. You shouldn't be looking for just a good time or even be looking on apps for anything relationship wise.

These things take time. You don't just fall in love with someone after one meet and you don't just into a relationship after a week of knowing someone.

It takes time and patience. Everyone will find the person for them but the way this generation is going, it'll probably take way longer.

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.
