When Will I Find the One?

All hope is lost at this point.

Barn Dance, Hayride, formal… There are so many dances and events that need dates and not enough confidence in me to talk to the boys that I need to take. Which begs the question, when will I meet the guy for me?

Or better yet, will I ever meet a guy for me? Like, am I allowed to have relationships? Because it seems like the universe doesn't want me to have any progress with any guy. Every guy that I meet always ends up ghosting me and then they never talk to me ever again, which sucks a lot because it happens the exact moment I start to catch feelings for them. Which in turn makes me think that the world is out to get me, of course.

I know that I shouldn't bank on the idea of trying to find a relationship, especially since I should be focusing on school. But whenever I least expect it that's when I get hit hard. Then I can't let go and I get upset when a guy and I stop talking because I can't help but think that the issue is me and I that I'm not pretty enough to attract the guy so that he will stay with me.

And then I tell people they say that he wasn't the one. But does that mean that every other guy that has passed on me wasn't the right one? That's like a shit ton of guys! You'd think by this age, I would have met someone that liked me and I liked them back but nope. I just wish I could change things about me in order to find the right kind of boy that I'm interested in. I just want to find someone that I click well with and have an uninterrupted conversation at a party or some sort of social event.

I wish I could bring myself to be able to talk to boys in any setting, I literally can't even say "Hi". I tense up and start to be awkward when it comes to trying to interact with the opposite sex. Everyone says that I'll find the person for me if I'm patient and that's the thing. I've been patient for years now. I've been waiting while watching all my friends enter relationships while I stay single.

And so, I've lost all hope and it sucks for me being on a campus with a ton of cute boys. I have spent so much time trying to find "the one", when will he find me?

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.
