Dear Former Best Friend,

I just wanted to take the time to say thank you for everything. Based on knowing you, I'm almost completely sure that you read that in a sarcastic tone; I'm actually genuinely serious about it. Thank you for who you are, what you did, and everything you taught me.

If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be who I am today. I've gotten out of my comfort zone and I've done some crazy things. I'm sure I'd have a lot more "wish I would've"'s instead of "I'm glad I did's" in life.

Thank you for all those amazing memories. You know, the ones we can't tell our parents about because we'd get into so much trouble? Yeah, those ones. Staying out too late, partying, random photo shoots, memories. I loved it all. Being able to actually be me an not worrying about it because you were equally as weird as I am (if not even more weird).

Thank you for all those fights we had. Even the petty ones that were over what movie to watch or where we would sleep. Those fights still defined us individually and as friends. They allowed us to grow both as individuals, and as friends. The things was, we'd never stay mad at each other because there was always something we had to tell one another. What she said, or what he did. There was always something we would want to tell each other that we could not or didn't want to tell anyone else.

You were always there for me. Through good and bad. I could always count on you. Always. No matter what the situation. You were always the first person I would call no matter what they situation was.

And then I lost you...

Losing you was a life lesson in itself. I learned how dependent we, as humans, are on each other. It reminded me how important friendships are, and how quickly they can be broken. I learned that people come and go in life; you need to be prepared for those sudden and dramatic changes. Even though we never talk or see each other outside of the occasional run-in, I'll never forget you. I mean, you were my best friend for forever, right? I'll cherish our memories, even our fights.

We obviously weren't meant to be best friends for forever, but I hope all of your hopes, dreams, and wishes come true. I hope you accomplish all you want, and find absolute happiness in life. I hope you find a new best friend can fill every need you have and more. Although we are no longer best friends, I wish only the best for you for all of your future endeavors. I hope to someday see you soon and have an ihop date and gush about everything and anything just to catch up over coffee.

Love always, xoxo,

The one you use to call best friend.

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.
