An Open Letter To Those Who Put Others Down

To the people who always have to put others down when they are happy, why does it matter to you?

An Open Letter To Those Who Put Others Down

Yes, we all have thoughts and that is fine, but why do we feel the need to have to comment on everything that we do not agree with? Why do people, whenever they see someone doing good and are just feeling fantastic about their lives, always have to come in and instantly say or do something to put it down? Why can they just not let people be happy?! What is so wrong about that person being happy and proud for themselves? It does not matter if it's a relationship, education, house, clothes, skin, makeup or anything. People always feel the need to put their two cents into every single situation that they feel that they can talk about.

Why do you want to put someone down who is so happy about something? It is like no one can do anything good in this world without someone having to come in on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram or any social media platform with out someone in the world coming in and commenting and putting them down or shaming them? What do they even get out of it? How do they feel so good about themselves for making someone else feel bad when they were just so happy about that situation and now that happy moment is ruined for them?

These people confuse us in so many ways. They want people to be happy for them and proud of them for the goods things they do, but as soon as someone else has done something too, they feel the need to go and put them down because the spotlight has been stolen from them for a few seconds. Then when they get the spotlight back, it's not in a good way, it's in a bad way, and then they get mad for people putting their two cents in their situation when they just did the same exact thing to someone else.

Why can we just not let everyone be happy and call it a day? The world would be so much happier if we could all just let everyone be happy about whatever situation they are happy about. What is so wrong about them being happy just like you? How do you get off being happy by making them miserable? Let them be excited just like you and so many other situations can be so much better for everyone in this world if others would just keep their mouths shut and let everybody be happy no matter what the situation is. Next time you want to comment on someones happy post and down them for it, think about of they did that to you and how upset you would be. Treat others the way you would want to be treated.

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.
