The Friends I Thought I Had, I Can't Do This Anymore

I thought we were friends... I guess not

I really thought we were friends, even more than that I thought we were best friends. I haven't talked, hung out, or associated myself with you in over a week and you haven't noticed. Well it is either that or you don't care and honestly I don't know what hurts more. As cheesy as it sounds I thought eventually you would be a bridesmaid in my future wedding.

I thought that I was going to get invited to something with you, and I was so excited to go on this trip that I had started saving money to go months ago... How could you not invite me? When I got the news that I wasn't invited and I was just a second thought I called my mom to cry for hours, literally hours. I could not stop crying because I was so hurt that you didn't want me to go. I never could have imagined that I wasn't wanted because in my mind I thought we were best friends. My mom, my dad, and I all came to the conclusion that if I pull away and stop trying so hard to hangout with you, and you invited me and put in effort then maybe you wanted to be my friend. Guess what you did not, and as much as that has hurt me I have finally realized my self worth. I refuse to always have to invite myself to hangout, because clearly you don't want to hang out with me unless I initiate it. I use to try so hard to fit in, because I wanted to be apart of the group so badly. Looking back on our friendship we had A LOT of fun times, but also there has been times when I was really effected by the way I have been treated. This example is so stupid and I have no idea why it effected me so much, but when I was forgotten in the game I could not help but feel sad fighting back the tears I realized I was just another option to you.

I don't know what the future has for us or our friendship, but just know that I want to be apart of your life if you want me there. However, at this point I have to put myself first and I can't just be a second thought in a friendship because that is not a real friend.

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.
