To The Boy Who Shattered My Heart

To the boy who broke my heart,

I never thought I'd ever have the strength to write this out. I swore as I wrote a flood of tears would escape my eyes, but here I am with no tears left.

The day you gave up on us was one of the worst days of my lives. I blamed myself for everything that went wrong. I sat around hoping that you'd text or call saying you wanted to give us another chance. I mean we had so many plans for our future together, and poof they were gone in seconds.

My heart felt heavy as I thought about what could have been. The wounds left were raw and hurt. I will admit for awhile I was bitter and angry, but that has now passed.

I'm not sorry that I couldn't be who you wanted me to be, but that girl wasn't me. I'm still trying to figure out if you loved me or who you thought I could be. I tried so hard to be that girl, but let's be real that would erase most of who I am.

Looking back, I don't think you ever would have worked out the way we wanted. We weren't healthy for each other. We both had our faults that hurt the other person. As much as I wanted our dream future to come to life, it was a fantasy world that didn't exist.

As upset and broken as I was with our break-up, I thank you for it. You opened my eyes to so many things. I've become a better and stronger person through this event. You set me on a journey of self-discovery and recovery. It's something I don't think would have happen if you hadn't of shatter my heart into a million pieces.

The last thing I want to say was I wish you well. I really do mean that. I hope you find what you are looking for this world. We had our bad times (also some good), but I don't wish anything bad on you. Hopefully, you can find the person you really want/need and live a full life.

Sincerely,

The-Not-So-Heartbroken-Anymore

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.
