Brooke Albright

Each week, Swoon features a couple that's deserving of being true #RelationshipGoals. If you or someone you know deserves to be featured, click here to nominate an amazing couple.

Couple:

Brooke Albright & Joe Hahn

How they meet:

Freshman year of high school

How long they’ve been together:

" A year and a half...But we’ve been seeing each other on and off since we met!" - Brooke

How they got together:

"Well freshman year every time he walked past my locker, I always said that he was going to be my boyfriend. I waited two years for that to actually happen. On August 17th, 2016 we went to Six Flags, it was hot and irritable and I really didn’t think that this would be the day I would finally make my freshman year self proud.

We were on the sky lift, could tell he was nervous AF and I didn’t know if it was because of the height or what. He didn’t really talk I was just blabbering about the rides and how hot it was.

He stopped me and said, “I have to ask you something.”

And honestly, everything that I ever did came rushing in my head...like what did I do?

And he looked at me and said, “Will you be my girlfriend?”

I was so speechless, that I said “no” at first (I was kidding, of course) and finally I said 'Oh my God, of course, I’ve been waiting for this for too long!'

And the rest is history!"

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.

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.
