Love Yourself

Don't let cuffing season get to you boo

Love Yourself
Molly Martinez

Sometimes all you need to do in life is love yourself. Your life is too short to worry about if someone likes you or to be stressing about something that is so small. This year has been very stressful and let me tell you something I forgot to love myself for a while. Life just gets in the way and that's okay it literally happens to the best of us but there comes a time in your life when you just need to love yourself.

Have the day to yourself and just go get lost. Go to the beach, read a book, watch a movie, go get dinner. Do something that gives you the time to stop and think of what makes you happy.

I know that this is the time of the year where everyone is trying to "cuff" someone and let me tell you something some of y'all are taking cuffing season a little too serious. I get it, it sucks to be lonely when everyone is out there with their boo and you're just chilling on the sideline but trust me don't rush into something that you are not ready for. This is the time where you need to just be selfish and have the time of your life. Also having a boo just means you have one more person to get a present for so don't do it unless you want to.

I am very avid in telling my friends to not rush into things and to just literally do them for a while. Cause how can you love someone if you don't even know how to love yourself first. Trust me it's very hard. I understand that you can learn to love yourself while still being in a relationship but I feel like that's hard to do (idk that's just me tho).

My family always tells to have fun and to focus on my school because someone will come along. It might not be today, tomorrow, or the day after that but the right person will. This is the time of your life where you need to focus on what you want to be and do it because you don't have anything holding you back.

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.
