Querido Diario,

Estar en casa es como un calmante, pero mi corazón está dividido.

Querido Diario,

Regresar al calor del hogar y familia es como un calmante. Es como hacer una pausa de mi mundo y despertar en casa como si nada hubiera pasado. Me siento feliz de sentir la misma humedad, escuchar los cánticos de los pájaros al sobrevolar por mi cuarto me traen recuerdos que me hacen sentir niña otra vez. Los colores del atardecer y el viento navideño renuevan mis fuerzas. Es sin duda una época del año hermosa, donde las familias se reunen y los amigos llaman para salir.

Descalza y con mi café tico, disfruto de una tarde soleada. Al escribir en mi diario pienso que tengo que escribir a mano mas seguido. ‘Estoy perdiendo mi bonita letra.’ Pero escribir en computadora tiene sus ventajas sin duda! Sobre todo cuando las ideas fluyen sin parar y no quiero perderlas. Sin embargo, escribir en papel siempre fue lo mio. La emoción de llenar las páginas de un diario y en un futuro recorrerlas con los dedos…es tan fascinante! Es como esconder un pequeño tesoro para después encontrarlo y descubrir que guarda la misma magia.

En fin, de qué iba a escribir? Oh ya recuerdo!

-Me encanta estar devuelta! Volver a ver la familia, amigos, vecinos, y conocidos. Y mientras mi disfrute aqui es genuino, mi corazón está lleno de nostalgia.

Aquél primer paso que uno toma hacia la aventura, es el que determina quien va a ser uno al final. Pero una vez tomado el paso, no hay vuelta atrás. La vida cambia y está cambiando cada vez que mi aventura se va desplegando. Una vez que uno haya saboreado eso—el ir hacia lo desconocido sin saber qué va a pasar, el vacío que uno experimenta al brincar a otro mundo, la sed por probar o hacer algo nuevo se vuelve insaciable.

Asi que, mientras mi cuerpo agradece este descanso, mi mente vuela y se consume en sueños de mi otro mundo. Deseando regresar a un lugar donde mi hogar es temporal, pero donde mis pies corren y mi corazón se siente en libertad irreal.

“Es una etapa.” -dicen muchos.

Yo no se si es una etapa o no, lo que se es que mi más grande aventura es no desperdiciar las oportunidades que todos los dias obtengo, y no dejar de descubrir cosas nuevas.

Mi corazón está dividido, si, y algunas veces el extrañar duele. Pero por nada del mundo escogería algo diferente. Prefiero extrañar y tener el corazón partido en dos, a evitar el dolor y muchas veces confusión. No me cambiaría por nadie ni por nada. Ya viví lo que eso conlleva, y puedo decir: Vale la pena!

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.
