"If you think suicide is selfish, you've never been suicidal"

Suicide.

Suicide is a word that makes your mouth go dry. Immediately sends chills up your spine. Every time you hear that word, the room gets quiet. When you hear suicide it immediately makes you sad, because you know that someone is hurting. Someone felt so unhappy with their situation, that they ended their life.

One thing suicide doesn’t do is allow your life to get better. Now this is not an article telling you why you’re selfish if you stop having the power to live, because I understand that more than you know. You get tired of fighting every single day of your life.

Remember life does get better. Maybe not tomorrow, or next week, but one day it will. All the struggle you went through will be worth it, and you will be glad that you lived. Never ever let someone make you feel worthless. You are worth more than what a bully says.

Depression makes people feel helpless, lonely, and completely hopeless. Treating something as serious as suicide as if it’s nothing, only makes it worse. In most cases, it can be prevented just by just listening to them.. All anyone wants is to know that they are appreciated and loved.

I know exactly what it feels like. To want to end it. To sit on the bathroom floor, too sad to even cry. Body numb, too numb to feel anything at all. Sometimes you just have to pick yourself off the floor, and fight. Fight like hell to save your own life. Because that is only who can save you.

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.

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.
