A Letter To My 13-Year Old Self

Dear awkward 7th grade version of myself,

Why are you wearing 2 tank-tops, you look like an idiot. However, I respect your attempt to try to fit in with the fellow middle-school trends. Keep it up. The stuff I'm about to tell you is going to blow your mind and you won't understand it, but heres some advice, kiddo.

By the time you get to high school, your friend group will change five times. Even crazier, you won't talk to most of the people ever again by the time you go to college. Don't get upset, you make super cool friends in college. Also, your dreams of singing and winning American Idol are never going to happen. American Idol is over, where even is Randy Jackson now? Who knows.

You're going to realize that everything you stress over is completely irrelevant. Try to remember that if what you're freaking out over won't matter in a week/month/year, odds are you should chill out and move on. Basically, stop freaking out about your bat-mitzvah. No one knows what you're saying anyways (including yourself).

You're also going to meet a lot of boys. You'll think that you are going to "love" some of them. Nah, chill girl! You're young as hell, save the love stuff for when you're in your 30's or never. Love your dog and chipotle- that's all your allowed to love.

Stop posting stupid stuff on Facebook. No one cares about what you are doing every second, I promise. You will look back at it and cringe. Theres even an app that shows you how embarrassing you are in the future. Seriously stop. Here's an example of how much of a weirdo you are.

Control yourself please. Is Taylor Lautner still hot 6 years later? Yes. But you don't need to announce it to the world. Who even compares Toy Story 3 to Eclipse? One does not compare Edward Cullen to Buzz Lightyear. Once again, you are a young idiot.

Basically, listen to your older, slightly wiser-self. You are going to change so much and grow into yourself like a little butterfly. You'll get through this awkward stage-kind of. You'll experience super uncomfortable moments. You'll also get in trouble a lot so mentally prepare yourself (sorry mom and dad).

Also, stop choosing weird braces colors, you look like you have spaghetti sauce in your teeth 24/7.

Much love,

Your future 18 year old-self.

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:

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.
