Open Letter To My Ex-Boyfriend

"And one day, your name didn't make me smile anymore."

Open Letter To My Ex-Boyfriend
Huffington Post

Being brokenhearted by you was an honor, to know you aren't much of a heart breaker. You aren't such a jerk as everyone claims you to be. In this letter, I just want you to know how much damage you caused and how much I thank you everyday. We were together for a while. A long time of smiling, laughing, kissing, but also dreadful times of arguing, crying, yelling, and drifting away. You were my best friend, you were my everything, I gave you my attention as you gave me yours. I have no shame for you other than you broke our promises, even as best friends before and after the fact of falling in love. Shall I start with the thank yous? Or save them for the end? Like you saved the heartbreak for the end.

I thank you for being here, for coming into my life many years ago. For teaching me wrong from right. For helping me off the ground. But for also kicking me down. For showing me that there can be happiness in laying down, and looking up and seeing nothing. Happiness in someones eyes. Showing me that even the nicest people can be the most evil people of them all. Thank you for showing me that love can do multiple things. It can make you happy, or it can break you. It can make you stand out from a crowd or hide in the crowd. I thank you for giving me the chance to fall in love with someone, and feel amazing. Thank for you for also showing me that not every "I love you" is real. For showing me that you couldn't be trusted. That no one can be trusted. I'm glad you walked in and helped me with all the bad things life had to challenge me with. But I'm also glad you walked out and chose to be happy.

Now I don't know where you are, what you are doing, how you are doing, who you are making happy, etc. But I all I hope is that some nights, or mornings, when you're up after a hard nights work, you sit and think about me. Hoping I cross your mind, and you wonder, "How is she? Is she okay? Does she miss me?" All I know and how I feel is that I hope you're happy, and I hope you can wake up and feel better. Just know, please know, I do not miss you anymore, and I am moving on. Thank you for giving me the chance of being your princess. It just wasn't the right time.

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.
