Is it love or loathing?

7 Signs It's Time to Breakup
http://gph.is/1MHLkyt

I feel like there are an awful lot of "is he/she the one" articles floating around the Internet lately. Many people want to know if the connection that they've developed with their partner is "real" and deeper than just simple Netflix and Chill (is that what the cool kids are saying these days?) Falling in love can be easy, but falling out of it can be a terribly annoying process. When your attitude towards your significant other goes from cute sighs of adoration to pure hatred and disgust, it's a clear sign that the two of you have surpassed the point of return. Here are a few signs that signal when you and your bae (seriously, do people still say this?) should end things.


1. You're annoyed by the sound of your S.O. breathing.

Inhale, exhale. We all do it—constantly. If we didn't, we'd literally die. Literally. When the sound of your partner doing the most basic and crucially important human activity starts to annoy you, then it's time to call things off.


2. You start agreeing whenever they complain about their family.

A good partner listens, comforts and doesn't add negativity when their significant other starts the inevitable complaining about their family. Parents can be annoying, but the moment you stop saying "that sucks, I'm sorry that happened," "well, I don't know, I'm sure you guys will work it out, you're family," or "your mother just wants what's best for you," and start saying things like, "I get it, your mom's a total b*tch!" then it might be time to call it quits.


3. You genuinely think that their hobbies are stupid and a waste of time.

You know that he started collecting postage stamps with his grandmother as a kid. You know that those stamps mean everything to him and it's all he has left of his grandmother after she died from cancer. You know that it's how he copes with the death of the woman who practically raised him and molded him into the man he is today. Yet you still think postage stamps are dumb, outdated, worthless, the US Postal system is failing and he should spend his time doing something of more substance. Yeah, break up. If you get the nerve to use a stamp from his collection to mail something, stop what you're doing and break up immediately. Why would you use his dead-grandma-bonding stamps?


4. The sound of their sneeze makes you want to slap them.

When you love someone, even their odd and quirky sneezes are adorable. If your partner's sneeze makes you want to inflict pain on their bodies and rip out their souls… yeah you might need to end it (especially during allergy season in New Orleans.)


5. You think that they're clingy for the least clingiest of things.

If texts like "good morning," "how are you?" or "good luck on that test today" make you want to scream "oh my god, get off my back already! Geez!" then it's time to say "goodbye."


6. You often roll your eyes or think, "who cares" when they're talking.

Who cares? You should. If you don't, move on.

7. You've already reactivated your Tinder account... or you've never deactivated it in the first place.

Come on, you've already got one foot out of the door at this point.

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.
