I promise there is something good in them

The phrase "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is actually true.

Although you are not dead, or even really close to being dead, you are still mentally dead. You just lost your lover of a couple months/years and it sucks. But the months/weeks it takes you to get over him/her will be how you grow stronger. By the end of the heart break, you will be 100% happier and stronger.

You are still loved.

Something you forget is how much you are still loved. You will always be loved, sometimes you just cant see it. But family and friends will be your key to this breakup and you know they will help you and build you up.

You will pick up new hobbies.

You will find so many new hobbies and you will be so much happier. So go out and be happier, show the world what you're amazing at!

The breakup is better than later.

"The sooner the better" is actually very true. You learn to love that it happened at the time it did. Because if it happened in a shorter time you would've just fallen in love with that person and it would've hurt way more.

You learn to think more postive and you become a better person.

The first couple weeks are really hard. But after those weeks you see all of the positive. As well as be more healthy because change is amazing!

You learn to love the little things more.

Staying out with friends and laughing so hard you cry is amazing. But trust me, it is 10 times better while you are heartbroken. You get to see the better part of life, such as how clouds look like Obama or how bees are way too adorable.

You get closer with people and God.

While this breakup is basically you just losing someone who you were super close to, you learn to get closer to people you usually didn't talk to. If you are a religious person, you learn to pray more and get closer to God.

No more worrying.

While half of your relationship was you worrying about what your other half might be doing, or if they were with some other person, it all stops when you guys breakup (or a couple weeks later). Next time you'll have more trust in your other half!

As much as breakups suck, there are so many positive outcomes if you decide to see it. You will always learn to get over it.

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.

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.
