Why are girls apologizing for being themselves? You’re the way you are for a reason, so don’t let someone make you feel bad for that! There are so many things that you should not be saying “I’m sorry” for and here are just a few:

Do not apologize for getting excited about something you love.

If you enjoy something, you’re obviously going to be happy about it so, get excited! Don’t let someone downplay your joy. If you just saw your favorite band in concert and you’re still fangirling, keep freaking out because that's the best feeling.

Do not apologize for laughing so hard you can’t breathe.

You should never believe it when someone tells you, “That wasn’t even funny” or “That’s a stupid reason to laugh,”because to you it was hilarious. Whether it be a squeak, a snort or maybe even a squawk, just laugh it out. Laughter truly is the best medicine.

Do not apologize for talking about yourself.

Most of the time you listen to other’s issues and do whatever you can to help. So why feel guilty when telling someone how your day was for less than two minutes? You have your own baggage and sometimes you need to rant, and that’s totally okay! Talk about yourself and get it off your chest.

Do not apologize for being proud of yourself.

You work so hard for everything in your life, and when things turn out to be alright after everything you’ve done, you should be proud. There is no reason for you to hold back and not show off your progress.

Do not apologize for other's actions.

This point is so crucial because we think when someone wrongs us, it’s our fault. Like, “Oh, James cheated on me last week…it’s probably because I didn’t give him enough attention.”. No, No, and uh No. You are neverat fault when someone wrongs you. They made a bad decision, not you.

Do not apologize for being YOU.

No one should try to change you or make you feel bad about being the way you are. You are beautiful, intelligent, charming and loved. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

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.

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:

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.
