Dear Potential Partner to my Daughter,

I hope you understand that one day, one day you will have the unfortunate circumstance of meeting me. I've expected this since the day she was born, the first day I ever laid eyes on her newborn eyes barely open will be the same eyes you will last see if you ever hurt her. The first time you ever step into my home I will make sure there is a rubber sheet and a drain in the bathroom floor. Only as a precaution, because I should never need it due to the fact that I will only raise her to believe a significant other is supposed to treat you with love and respect. I will be weeding out all insecurities, all dismay and all "daddy issues," so that people cannot take advantage of her sweetness and innocence that you could suck out of her like a vampire looking for his next meal. God forbid you ever lay hands on her, because they will also be the hands repeatedly hitting leaving you bruises and black eyes. She will know from an early age that love is not violence and it may be hypocritical to beat the hell out of you in that regard but the same hands I stroked her mother's belly in affection and anticipation to this new life I created will be the same ones you can catch. My daughter will know love, she will know how someone who truly loves her should treat her, and if you do not meet up to her or my standards I hope I can convince her to make you disappear.

If I only have boys in the future, the same still holds. You will not take advantage of my son, manipulate him to do your bidding.

P.S If you are not my gender, I'm sure my future wife will hold the same ideas I do.

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.
