I'm Single and I'm Ok with it!
Breanna Waterhouse

It is no surprise that with summer comes romance, well for some. I am 19 years old and yes, I am single, but I'm ok with it!

There is no special guy in my life, for now, and that is completely ok. I do not need a guy to complete me, because I know that is not the way to be fulfilled. The only way I will ever be fulfilled, is to give everything to Jesus Christ. He is the only one that can fulfill me!

Now, just because I am single, and ok with it, does not mean that I'm not open to the possibility of romance. I am. I know that God has a plan for my life, and when it is the right time, the right man will come into my life.

I am so young! I am not going to dwell on the fact that I am single and let that define me... I have so much life to live, I do not need a guy ruining it! I am so beyond happy to live it up while I can, making memories with my friends and family. :)

While I wait for said special guy, I will pray. I will pray for my future husband, and for myself. I will pray that I can accept love when it comes my way and keep Jesus in the center of that relationship. But for now, I will be the supportive, single friend that I need to be, and one day my friends will play the same role in my life.

As for all of you single gals like me reading this, I just want to encourage you to wait. Wait for a guy that is going to respect you and your morals. He will come along, I promise, but for now, enjoy the single life! Most importantly, lean on Jesus Christ. He has a magnificent plan for each and every one of us, and He will lead you to the man of your dreams if you let Him have control of all of it. Trust Him, and girls the result will be better than you ever thought possible.

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.
