The Hard Part Of Moving On

There’s always gonna be a mountain you have to climb, but never give up because there’s a great view at the top.

The Hard Part Of Moving On
Jenna Jones

They say when you love something you have to let it go and in reality that’s one of the hardest things to do when you love someone. How are you suppose to sit back and watch the person you loved so much start to love someone new? They always say if it’s meant to be it will happen and that things will work out in the end but it’s the waiting game that is always the worst. Whether you know you could do better or you know that it’s time to move on, the thought of what if stays in the back of your mind.

You will have your bad days where memories flood your mind, the good ones, and the bad ones. Some of the memories so real you feel like you are right back in that moment and you have to snap back to the reality that they are no longer in your life. You’ll have random days where something hits you and you feel like crying again even though it’s been months since things ended.

You’ll wonder if they even really loved you like they said they did, because while you are still trying to convince yourself that it’s time to move on while they have already started to. You would think knowing they are already moving on would make it easier but in reality it doesn’t it just brings more questions into your mind. Why wasn’t I good enough? Why couldn’t we work it out? Why is it so easy for them to move on? You will have your "why can’t I move on" moments. You may even try to go on a few dates with new people, but somehow every time you just don’t get that little spark you want, the one you had with the person you were head over heels for.

You find yourself comparing everyone to them, you find yourself wondering if things could eventually work out and if you should just wait it out because good things take time right? Not everything about a break up has to be bad though, although you will have some days that are rough, it’s also a good time to take care of yourself. Learn things that make you happy, go out to eat by yourself, go adventure somewhere or even go shopping alone. Learn to live your life for you and create your own happiness.

Once you are content with your life and doing things on your own let everything else fall into place on its own. In the end things might not turn out the way you wanted, things might not work out with that person but that just means something better is out there for you, you go through everything in life for a reason and that failed relationship was just a stepping stone on your way to a life you’ve always dreamed of.

Hold your head high and learn to love yourself and always remember something good will come out of the struggles that you face. There’s always gonna be a mountain you have to climb, but never give up because there’s a great view at the top.

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.
