Seven

One: For that time you felt so lonely because you felt like the weight of the world is all on your shoulders. For that time that you had too much going on, but you couldn’t share what’s inside of you with any one. For that time you went through all the previous situations, but you stood up one your own because you are very much capable and stronger than you think.

Two: For the time you met a random person that you would not have considered to ever talk to and you actually enjoy his or her company. For all the conversations between two close friends or two complete strangers. For the time you know that you don’t need thousands of friends, and only one good friend is all the company you need.

Three: For the time you and your other two sisters fought about who is taking the final piece of mom’s lasagna, but no matter how much you hate each other in these incidents, you will still support them both. For the time you lost something very precious, but you remembered that you had two other things that you are very blessed with.

Four: For the balance. The balance that keeps the four legs of the table standing. For the directions, the North, the South, the Ease, and the West, and all the choices and the possibilities you could take by taking any one of them or by taking by any cross-section of them.

Five: For the oddest of odd numbers because I just chose it to be. For the five fingers that you have. For the five petals in the rose that helped you in making a decision, and you eventually decide to take the risk, and it ended to be the best decision you have ever made.

Six: For the time you spent six hours trying to help your friend go through a tough day. For the six blessings you could surely count each day even though not all days remind you for the blessings. For the six friends in F.R.I.E.N.D.S that make you laugh no matter what kind of a day you are having.

Seven: For the time you wanted to travel the seven continents, and dreamt about gazing at all the stars in your seven months’ trip. For the seven wonders in the world that you can’t wait to explore with your seven closest friends. For the too crowded, too lonely events with seven people around you. For the perfect times where a seven hours’ road trip from San Diego to Los Angeles can produce the most precious memories.

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.
