You've been through heartache recently, and maybe not recently, but you still feel it like it was yesterday, or maybe you only feel like it was on the bad days, but I'm here to tell you that it's OK.

You are allowed to feel however you do, and today, I'm just here to help you through that.

I'm sure you've heard a handful of times before, by a handful of other people, but love will come again. You will pick yourself up, brush the dust off of your shoulders and start to put your pieces back together again.

You will go days where you feel sad, angry, frustrated and disappointed that things didn't work, but you have to remember why they didn't work, to begin with.

You have to remember that you deserve nothing but to be infinitely happy today and for the rest of your life. You deserve nothing but endless, flowing love that makes your heart full, that makes you smile uncontrollably for absolutely no other reason than that you feel loved, and you feel happy.

You deserve to wake up and remember that this is your life and this life is what you make of it.

Breathe through the bad days, cry through them, scream through them and sing, dance, laugh and love through the good ones.

We have to remember that we lose people, and then we find new ones. That's how it works, and this is all part of your life plan.

The moon orchestrates our nights and tides, and if that isn't the best metaphor for our lives and the plan the universe has for us, then I don't know what is.

So, I leave you with this advice today — you are going to be OK. Your heart might be broken, but you are not. You will heal, and you will forget about the boy who broke your heart over the smallest fight you've ever had. You will forget the pain; you will forget the bad days.

You will be better for this, although it will feel worse before it gets better. And I will not lie to you; it will feel worse before it feels better.

Breathe and enjoy today. You will find someone, and you will love again. You will find someone who will love you the way you need and deserve to be.

So, go on, get out there and live your life. Right now, in this moment, you are the youngest you are ever going to be again.

Love will come again, and with each relationship, it will get better.

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.
