To My Dear, Heartbroken Friend:

To my dear, heartbroken friend:

Man life is a wild ride, huh? And love… love is just nuts. My heart aches for you right now. I know how hard breakups are. I know that it feels like the hurt, the chest-tightening, empty, crushing pain of heartache, will never get better. It feels like no matter how many tears you shed, it will never be enough to fulfill the sadness that follows you like your shadow. And the missing- the missing of that person comes in waves. And sometimes, you just cannot pretend to be okay, and that’s okay too.

My dear friend, I know these feelings all too well. But I also know that even though the pain is an intense fire burning inside of you, the flames will dim and you will begin to feel okay again (Sooner than you may believe). You will see that there is more to the world.. and there is more to love.. and there is more to come in this crazy life!

Take this time to be alone. Invest your time on bettering yourself. Become the person you’ve always wanted to be. Know what you want in life and don’t settle for anything less than that. You will grow so much. You will find what inspires you. Cultivate your dreams and your beliefs. And just wait, magic will happen and life will flutter before your eyes. Happiness will occur and you will see soon, my love, that you are strong and beautiful and capable of anything and everything.

I wish you could see yourself the way I see you—

You are a stunning being of pure joy and laughter and love and extravagant beauty and grace. Someday, the love of your life will walk in and sweep you off your feet. He will love every square inch of your soul. Be patient my dear, and know that even though it doesn’t feel like it right now, you will be okay again.

Love,

Yours truly.

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:

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.
