To The Best Friend I Don't Talk To Anymore,

To me, you will always hold a special place in my heart, even if we aren't close anymore. We've been through so much together and I wouldn't have gotten through it without you. Through the endless relationship drama, issues with my parents, and complaints about life in general, you talked me through it all. You stuck up for me, you defended me, you picked me up when I was down. We were always there for each other and then one day, it all just stopped.

I think about you often. I think about how well you must be doing, how smart you were to leave high school behind you, how much I miss you. I think about wanting to spend time with you and wanting to just physically see you standing in front of me. I want to hug you and tell you everything that's happened over the last two years. I want to tell you how sorry I am for not being the friend you needed.

Most importantly, I want to thank you for making high school suck less, for showing me what a true friend is and for always making me laugh. I am so glad that we were able to spend as much time as we did together. I will forever cherish the memories we made and the tears we shed from laughing so hard. I still miss you, I will always love you and I will continually hope to hear from you again. You were the best friend I've ever had and it devastates me every day to know and remember that we no longer speak. My heart breaks, but I'll always remember what you meant to me. You deserve nothing but the best and all the happiness in the world.

Forever missing you,

The Friend You Left Behind

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.
