It was just a matter of time before we ended. I go through this a lot but I promise you, it is not me. I wanted to believe you would be around for a lot longer than we lasted but I saw the signs early on. You work fifty plus hours in a week and seem to be only focused on work. Let me make this clear though, I have much respect your ten hours days because I do believe they will pay off. Yet, I knew that I could nots compete with your job, house, and friends. Believe me when I say that I never wanted too. It is just those late night conversations, around eleven pm, is what I would look forward too. I may not have a fancy corporate job with a foreign car or make fancy cocktails with friends but between all the changes going on in mine, it was nice not to just see you and relax. Ignore my feelings, I try my hardest to stay out of my feelings but I always fail. I am sap. Oh but do not worry. You will not hear from me again. If you read my last post, I have already begun the healing process because I knew this day was coming. I deleted your number and any way to contact you. This time I was smart enough not to follow you on Instagram. Thank Goodness! With that being said, let me tell you the perks of not being with you.

No more sitting pretty waiting for one of your text messages. I was accumulating bags under my eyes playing around with you boy. I can finally be alone and have a dry phone. Prior to you, I was on a mission to be all alone in my life until you interrupted the party with your loud attire. Secondly, no more trying to come see you because I was definitely getting the vibe that your desire to see me was not as strong as mine was to see you. On the flip side, I will not be so selfish in this article, you do not have to worry about me. You swear on your mother’s grave that I am talking about you in my articles and one hundred times out of twelve, I most likely am speaking on you. This does not mean you need to take my articles to heart, it just means you are in my mind as I am typing them. Like I said, I will not attempt to see you or ask for you to read one of my fabulous articles because I know if I did not send you the link you would not have been interested to read them anyway.

In a week, you will be another memory. It was fun while it lasted but me and you were just not meant to be and that is ok. Again, let me be honest. I am hurt. Yes, I would like this to continue. Yes, I went through your stuff meaning I looked around your house, nothing more or less. I looked through your belongings meaning I noticed the books you were reading or have read and realized you had an extra closet downstairs. We will not speak soon and I am not ready to see you soon.

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.
