To The Person Who Thinks Giving Up Is The Answer

Emotions are a scary and wonderful thing we all experience every single day in our lives. While one thing can make you feel a sensation of happiness and joy, others can make you feel like there’s no point to keep going in this world. I can tell you first hand that giving up is never the answer.

Think about your life for a second. Think about how many people you affect every single day. Think about how if you weren’t there anymore. Tell me your parents wouldn’t stay up all hours of the night wondering what they did to make you want to end the life they created for you. Tell me your best friend wouldn’t feel empty looking at the pictures of you two hanging on their wall. Tell me your sister or brother wouldn’t miss messing around with you everyday or calling you when they needed some advise. Tell me that you leaving this word wouldn’t affect one single person.

Think about your life again. Think about how much things change in just one year, even in half of a year. Whatever you’re feeling and going through won’t feel like such a catastrophe given enough time. Sometimes you need to be absolutely destroyed in order to grow into the person you need to be. You just need to realize that this is something that you can get through. There are going to be brighter days and people that make life worth living.

Next time when you feel like giving up is the only option, talk to someone. Tell them exactly how you’re feeling and you will quickly realize how much you’re actually worth. Like I said, letting go is not the answer and will never be the answer.

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.
