Heartbreak Is The Most Earth-Shattering Feeling You Can Experience, But That Doesn't Mean We Should Stop Trying To Find Love

Heartbreak isn't some cute, theatrical thing that can be cured by ice cream and chocolate.

I'm just gonna say it. Movies about heartbreak are total bullshit!

Why do films sugarcoat heartbreak as some cutesy little thing that happens that can be cured by ice cream and crying to sappy love movies? Don't forget the girl's mascara somehow just perfectly going down her face when she's crying, give me a break.

Of course, all heartbreak is different and my personal experiences can't speak for everyone, but I'm sure a lot of people can relate more to this than all of the movies.

Heartbreak is one of the most painful, earth-shattering feelings.

Of course, it's only temporary. But at that moment, it feels like your world is falling apart and you can't stop it but the world won't stop for you so the rest of the world is spinning and going along just fine while yours is falling apart. Heartbreak is hyperventilating and sobbing wondering where it went wrong, wondering how you can fix something that's beyond repair.

It's staying up for days at a time because you're too sad to sleep and if you sleep you can't bear the fact that when you wake up you'll have to face the reality that you lost the one you loved and your life won't be the same.

Hear me out, I know this sounds melodramatic and insane, maybe your experience has been totally different and easy and if that's the case, props to you!

You see, I'm a hopeless romantic. When I fall for someone, I either fall HARD or not at all. So when I'm talking heartbreak, I'm talking wow fuck my world up my life is falling apart and my heart is broken forever type heartbreak, not the little "oh darn my crush doesn't like me :(((". You would think I would learn to stop being this way and be more cautious and dip my foot in the pool but bitch I'M A SCORPIO, I'M PASSIONATE AND I MAKE BAD DECISIONS.

I've had my heart broken a few times in the short 19 years that I've been alive, and as my mom always tells me, I'll most likely have it broken a million times again before I find "the one."

God, I hope not. So if my future husband is reading this and you're trying to like.. not break my heart and marry me, hit me up maybe.

So let's face it, heartbreak isn't simple and it's not easy to fix. Heartbreak is a complex range of emotions and it can take Lord knows how much time to recover from it and move on. All wounds take time to heal and it's completely okay to take as much time as you need to heal fully and move on with your life. When it's right, you'll know.

I've had my heart broken time and time again and I'll have it broken many more times, but I take these times as a way to better myself, learn a lesson, and move on.

I'm gonna leave on a note with one of my favorite quotes. "The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing," - John Powell.

So fall hard, love unconditionally and don't regret a single minute of it.

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.
