An Open Letter To My Loved One In Heaven

You'll forever remain my guardian angel.

An Open Letter To My Loved One In Heaven
Dominic Kamp

My angel,

First off, I just want to say how much I miss you. I think about you every single day. It hasn't been long since you left us, but it still feels like it was just yesterday I heard the news that you were gone, and the tears have not stopped coming. We weren't ready to say goodbye, and life hasn't been the same since.

We all can't help but wonder why you were taken from us so soon? You had so many plans for your future, but obviously God's plan for you was much bigger. Not too long ago you were here, smiling and laughing, and talking smack about Donald Trump, and it's hard to accept the fact that you won't be there anymore when I walk into your house. I hope heaven is beautiful, and I hope your heart is full of love and your belly is full of wine, because that's just what you would have wanted. I may have lost someone I loved, but I also gained the most beautiful guardian angel heaven has ever seen.

I promise I'll always do what I can to make you proud. I'll finish college, and I'll start my own family, and I'll tell them all about you, and what an incredible person you were. You lived a full and happy life, and I find joy through my tears knowing that. You wouldn't want us to be sad. You'd want us to mourn our loss, and continue our lives with you always in our hearts. We'll see each other again one day, and until then our family will continue to share the memories we created with you over so many years. This isn't a goodbye, but a "see you later." So until we meet again, just know that I love you, and I'll always keep you with me.

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.
