To The Friend Who Became My Partner

You already knew me so you waited until the time was right.

To The Friend Who Became My Partner

How long have we known each other? 1 year? 5 years? Since we were kids back in elementary school? No matter how long we've known each other, no matter how far apart we became, we still managed to create something amazing.

So we start to catch up. We message back and forth, talk about life and the past. We learn about the relationships that didn't work and the things we now want out of a relationship. The funny thing: I've watched you date those people. The ones who yelled at you, cheated on you,treated you like shit.

I've watched all this happen from the sidelines and I was so jealous. You were amazing, wonderful and perfect in my eyes. I always look at the best in people and that's what I could see. I knew you weren't without problems but, no one ever is. You deserved someone who could handle your moody days and could give you the space you needed. They couldn't do that but, I wanted to be the person that could. I never said anything because I didn't want you to get the wrong idea about me and my motives.

So, I kept silent until now. I started to notice that you talked to me everyday. You would tell me what happened during your day. You would tell me your troubles. You started calling me and leaving me cute messages for me to wake up to.

Then we went on our first date. I was nervous as hell but, you kept me calm. We went to dinner where you paid for our meal. Then we went to the movies, you paid for our tickets, and then we kissed in the theater. I took you home and...we became a couple.

Am I worried this could ruin our friendship? Hell yes, scared beyond all control. Do I think that we could have a solid relationship that lasts a lifetime? Of course, and that's how I want it to be.

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.

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.
