Dear My First Love,

You will never know how truly sorry I am for breaking your heart. You were the first boy to ever really loved me, you loved me before I even loved myself and I think that was the problem all along. You were ready for forever and I couldn't understand how you could spend all of your time with me. But you did and I know you truly loved me and only wanted the best for me. So I would like to say a few things I didn't get to say before I left that night.

I'm sorry I couldn't be the girl you needed, and even if you don't see it I left to protect you. I am sorry I spent some nights on my phone ignoring you. I am sorry for always tickling you. I am sorry this didn't work out, but I will always love you and want the best for you. I am sorry I had to say this in a letter and couldn't say this to you. But I am mostly sorry you had to suffer for so long before I finally spoke up and admitted we were through.

Thank you for being my best friend and the most loyal secret keeper of them all. Thank you for forcing me to try new things. Thank you for teaching me you can have fun without being drunk. Thank you for being sensitive to my anxieties and always reassuring me when I needed it. Thank you for keeping a blanket in the car because I am constantly cold. Thank you for showing me those boys I thought "loved" me just wanted my body. Thank you for always holding my hand when I was scared. Thank you for trying so hard to fix things the moment you realized they were so broken. Thank you for never pressuring me. Thank you for showing me love is protecting someone at all costs. Thank you for letting yourself be miserable so I could be happy and grow. Thank you for the best year of my life. And finally, thank you for being the best first love a girl could ever hope for.

I hope you get everything you hoped for. I hope you become the person I know you are capable for being. I hope you finally watch Game Of Thrones and get what the hype was all about. I hope you get over your first love to meet your great love, even though no one will ever be deserving of all the love you have to give. But mostly I hope you never forget me.

Yours always xo.

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.
