An Open Letter To My Person

You're Kind of the Best Thing Since Cake

An Open Letter To My Person
tumblr

You know who you are. The person who knows me better than I know myself. My best friend, partner in crime, fellow cookout enthusiast, gym buddy, fellow beach-goer. The person who loves me when I can't love myself. The person who isn't afraid to tell me when I'm full of crap (in a loving way, of course). To the person who came into my life at just the right time, I can't thank you enough. You have been an answered prayer. I didn't expect you to come when you did. When we first met, I didn't know you were going to be "my person." I thought that was a phrase saved especially for Grey's Anatomy. I didn't know it happened in real life. I didn't know you could truly trust someone with so much of yourself- so much of your heart- and have them understand you and support you the way you have done for me. Most people run when things get tough. They're there for you when it's convenient for them, but most of the time they don't stay. You've laughed with me, cried with me, seen me in my worst moments and in my best moments. And you chose to stick it out. You chose to stay. You have allowed me to be myself in a world that consistently wants to change me. You have broken so many barriers and knocked down so many walls. You have made such a positive change in my life in such a short period of time that I am still in awe of God's timing. He knew I needed someone like you, and He placed you in my life and my heart for such a time as this. So thanks for being my person. I don't know how I made it without you, and I'm super psyched that I don't have to 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.
