It's Ok, It's just not YOUR time

You're in your twenties. You are about to graduate from college or you have. Life is about to just take off. But an engagement is not on its way and that's OK. At this age, majority of friends are now married or in new engagements. At first you are envious and a little jealous and that's natural and normal, but overall wish it was happening for you. When you are little you have this big picture of what you expect to have in life. You imagine you are a set age when you get engaged, then a set age when you want to get married. Unfortunately, when you are little you don't always think of the obstacles that you may face, or the amount of time it takes to find your prince. For the girl who has friends who are engaged and getting married, but you yourself are single, it is OK. Stay single. Do NOT just go out searching for a relationship because everyone else around you have found their prince. Don't settle, be picky. If you are not picky, you can go out and find a husband, but you won't find your prince. Be patient, there is a reason why it's just not your turn. Be positive on the situation instead of negative. God has something in store for you, trust in Him, and trust that when He wants your prince to show up in your life He will allow him to be there. If you are the girl who just got out of a serious relationship and is starting all over, be patient. The guy who you may have thought was your prince, just wasn't and that's OK. Be thankful that you now have something to reflect on what did not work for you. There is a reason for why that ended and remember that. To the girl who is in a relationship and eagerly waiting on your prince to pop the question, be patient. He may only be planning it, he may be wanting to be more financially stable, there may be a reason he just hasn't asked. Don't pressure him. Don't doubt him. Be patient with him. Girls your time is coming, it's just not YOUR time right now. Focus on praying for your prince, focus on praying that your prince and you are prepared and ready. Engagements are commitments and should not be taken lightly. So, girls sit back and be content that you don't have that ring on your finger just yet. God must have something in store for you, it's just not right now. And guess what? …. That is OK.

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.
