Embrace Your Heartbreak And Grow From It
@Aeropostale

So you’ve fallen in love, which everyone does but the hard thing is they don’t love you back. This happens to most people and some such as myself have it happen a few times. It happens unintentionally sometimes, something will happen and you realize you love them. But the worse thing is when you love them unconditionally, and see them loving another person. You’d do anything for them because you love them and they won't love back.

You can give them 110%, but you won't get that back from them.

Even worse, you have to accept they don’t feel the same.

This is all OK. Accepting it is even better cause that’s how you move on. You have to open your heart to this because when you do, you open yourself up to the pain. Pain is what makes us stronger you feel that pain come and you’ll feel it diminish over time, but it never fully leaves.

You fall in love with that friend whose in a happy relationship and cause you love them you let them be and don’t do anything to hurt what you have. You are their friend and that’s what they need, a friend. So you watch them happy and in love as your heart breaks bit by bit. Then they do things like move in with each other, they do things like get engaged and that kills you.

The good thing is you have them in your life, and they do love you just not how you want but that’s better than losing them.

So you’re broken and hurt, you think your life is over because the person you love has someone else. Guess what? We were made to love others. One friend has broken your heart and now another has you do whatever they want and when they want it. They ask you to do crazy things and you do every last thing they need and don’t blink.

When you’re out of your mind all you can think of is this person, you want to be near them, to see them. Sadly it’s obvious they don’t feel the same. You need something and they don’t help, you plan something they lie and cancel, you hug them and it's not returned. Then you snap you’ve had enough and will never love again. Stop right there and don’t do that. Don’t shut off your feelings--- embrace them even if you have to take time away from the person.

Someone is going to come around and make you feel something. Even if it's not love, it's just a 'like', that like can blossom into love. You will find love repeatedly and eventually its going to be returned. So if you’re the type who falls instantly or the type who hates all feelings and accidentally falls, embrace that heartbreak and grow.

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.

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.
