It's always you.

To The One I'll Never Get Over
Kimi Kiley

Everyone has THAT person. A person who means a lot to you, a person who is always on your mind even subconsciously, a person who can't compare to anyone else you meet, and a person you can never see yourself getting over.

This one is for you... I need to say thank you. Because of you, I was able to grow, mature and find myself. You caused me an unbelievable amount of happiness and showed me an overwhelming amount of love, and for that, I could never thank you enough. And despite going down two completely different paths and despite having you absent from my life, you still mean everything to me. You'll always be that person to me.

Five years from now I'll find a shoebox in my closet, and it'll be full of things you gave me. There will be letters, pictures, pressed roses from every single time you got me flowers, I'll find jewelry and I'll find birthday cards, Valentine's day cards, and anniversary cards. I'll sit and I'll stare at this box and I'll stare at the pictures, and I'll remember you. I'll remember your blindingly bright eyes, I'll remember your contagious laugh, your soothing voice and your breathtaking smile.

I'll remember all of these things, and I'll smile. I'll hug all the stuffed animals you won me when we were innocent high schoolers, and I'll remember how much I loved you. And then I'll realize that I still do. All of our memories will flash through my head. All of the dances, the dates, the car rides, the movie nights and the beach days. I'll remember our highs and I'll remember our lows. For as long as I live, I'll remember. Every single small thing about you will forever have its own space in my memory, I'll never forget.

But then I'll put the box away. I'll tuck it away in the safest spot I can find. I'll place my hand on my chest right over my heart and feel it beat slower from the sadness inside it. But I'll stand up and I'll walk away. I'll inhale and exhale and my heart will pick up speed. I'll realize that I still love you and I'll realize it'll always be that way. But then I'll have to go on with my day. I'll get in my car and go to work or I'll go run errands, and I'll still be thinking of you. It'll always be you.

But I'll sit here and pretend I don't still love you. I'll pretend that when our song comes on the radio my muscles don't tense up. I'll pretend I don't feel a dagger in my chest every time I hear your name and I'll pretend that I don't miss you in ways I can barely even fathom missing another person. And I'll try to be okay, because after all if you're happy, then so am I.

You're forever carved into my heart and I carry you with me everywhere I go. So here's to you, for having the most beautiful and influential impact on my life, even if you're unfortunately not in it anymore.

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.
