To All Of My Exes: Thank U, Next

I'm so grateful for my ex.

To All Of My Exes: Thank U, Next

We can honestly say that we have all been through a break up to where we do not necessarily like our ex and we learn a lot from that relationship whether it was how to love or even how to handle pain. We all handle breakups differently (some more classy than others) but nothing can be classier than the way Ariana Grande handled all of her breakups. Instead of hating our exes we can learn a few things not only from Ari herself but through her song that she dedicated to her exes.

When I listened to her new song my inner fangirl was screaming especially when she said "Wish I could say Thank You to Malcolm cause he was an angel" because let's be honest; who was not rooting for them (sorry Ari and Pete fans). We have fallen in love before and even been hurt by love but how we handle all of the heartbreaks really show not only the people that broke our heart but the world who we really are. I used to hate being on my own. I used to not like being single because I always felt so lonely. From all of the breakups and pain, I have learned that the only person in a relationship that I know will last forever is me. I am able to handle anything and everything that is thrown my way. But, I would not have learned any of that if it weren't from all of the breakups that I had gone through. So to all of my exes that broke my heart and made me shed a tear or two, I have two words to say to you; thank you.

Thank you for allowing me to fall in love with you. Thank you for allowing me to have so many great memories with you. Thank you for helping me feel emotions that I either have never felt before or for helping me feel those emotions that I have lost. Thank you for teaching me so much about love relationships, and about myself. But most importantly; thank you for helping me realize that I do not need someone to be in my life to grow and with that being said; here's the next chapter in my life.

Here's to focusing on myself as well as loving myself. Here's to working towards a better future and career for myself. But most of all; here's to the future whether it is getting married or being the fun aunt. Whatever it may be I just want to say:

thank u, next

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.
