I Might As Well Just Type It, Because I'm Never Going To Say It

Deep down, though, the feels are alive.

I Might As Well Just Type It, Because I'm Never Going To Say It
Emily Henrichs

I've never been great at talking about feelings. I become a pile goo and it is awful for all parties involved. My friends could bring up a guy that I like and I will blush so hard. If you were to ask me if I liked someone, I would probably shrug it off and never tell you. Deep down, though, the feels are alive.

I've always loved writing about my "feels," but talking about them is completely different. Now, don't get your hopes up. I am not proclaiming my love for somebody in this article. Or at least, I don't think I am going to. We'll just have to see where this goes. I don't want to end up a mushy-pile of goo on you.

I don't think I'm alone in this, but have you ever met someone and been totally flustered? That's how I feel right now. Simply thinking about him sends down a path of "This is embarrassing- don't do this." Although, writing this is pretty close to my "this is embarrassing" moments. Anyways, my heart is pounding and my palms are sweating, and that's not because I forgot about my article for the week and I'm racing to finish.

It's because there's this guy who can make me laugh even when I'm not around him. He can make me smile even when we're nowhere near each other. It's only happened once before. Where I've liked a dude so much it makes me sweat. Gross, I know. I just know I have to get these feels out or else it will kill me.

If I was ever able to find a way to proclaim how I feel, I'm sure I would do it - but for now, I'm going to stick with telling you about how we met and all that came from that night.

I was with my friend and we were hanging out around town. We, being the weirdos we are, decided to go to a hotel bar. We're not as boujee as you think. Anyways, this guy was there. He was working the bar and front desk. I thought he was cute from the start. He and his coworker talked with my friend and me for four hours. Anything from hot dogs to school. I was smitten.

Now, this terrible thing called a crush has happened. I'm not good at crushes. I'm seriously not. I pretty much embarrass myself through every phase it. I surely embarrass myself from a simple conversation. I surely embarrass myself from being present or walking. And I'm promised to embarrass myself even more. All for the love.

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.
