Real Confessions: Part III
Colleen Fontana

You ever want to get something off your chest, have an interesting experience to share, or want to read someone else's? That is what this monthly series is about. This monthly article will reveal people's secrets, experiences, and thoughts that they would like to share but may not want to tell the people in their lives. This is Real Confessions.

STAYING OUT OF OBLIGATION

"Four years ago I met my husband through the internet. I catfished him but did not expect to have any feelings towards him. When I was going through hard times he offered me to come and stay with him. When I arrived I told him the truth. I looked nothing like he thought. I wasn't pretty or skinny. I thought he would tell me to leave but he surprised me by wanting me to stay. After a few months of living together we had had sex but agreed to be nothing more than friends. He would go out and meet other women but still continue to sleep with me. I had a lot of feelings for him so I gave him an ultimatum. He was either going to be with me or I was leaving. That ultimatum turned into us getting married. We rarely have sex and I think he is not attracted to me physically. I feel like I trapped him into marrying me." Irene, 26


INTERNET CHEAT

"After I lost my mother to cancer I fell into a deep depression. Literally, nothing could get me out of it. One day a friend of mine introduced me to his girlfriend. After our first meeting she added me on Facebook and we started chatting regularly. We have a lot in common and can relate to each other since her grandmother also passed from cancer. Our chatting later turned into sexting. I started falling for her and she told me she felt the same way but did not want to leave her boyfriend. I feel guilty for continuing my relationship with her and cannot look my friend in the eyes." Vinny, 19


FAKE PREGNANCY

"I was desperate for a long vacation from work and suddenly an idea came to me. I noticed that women in my office that were pregnant were filing for a three month maternity leave. I thought that would be perfect for me to pull off. I could just fake a pregnancy. I would walk around the office wearing fake padding to fool everyone and they even threw me a baby shower. Afterwards when I returned to work they kept asking me how the baby was. No one has ever found out." Sara, 24


A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE

"I have been with the same woman for five years. Since then my feelings for her have vanished. She is very controlling and I just don't feel the same way anymore. I hadn't said anything because I rely on her for transportation to work. Two months ago a few different people were transferred to my department. One of them is a woman that I talk to everyday. We laugh and can talk about anything. I have come to really like her and she wants to start something with me. I hate deceiving my girlfriend but I do not want to cheat on her while we are still together. We need to break up." Damon, 30

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.
