If you're someone who is constantly searching for deeper meaning to life, you're constantly full of hopes. You hope for relationships that create deep emotional connections. You hope for a mind set that makes you eager to explore the world. You hope for the ability to find yourself and your purpose on earth. You want all these experiences because you truly want to experience the feeling of feeling alive.

Know that if you're on one of these journeys, there is light at the end of the tunnel. You might have a few bad relationships before you reach the one that is meant to be. You might change your career path one or ten times before you find the one you love. You may lose sight of what you want while trying to find yourself. But it is in these times that we begin to find our answers.

The people who come into our lives can show us true love. This is the kind of love that makes your heart beat and gives you goosebumps. Falling in love can make you feel like you're on a cloud and you're never coming down. Love can make you feel alive.

Having love for friends and family can also make you feel this way. Having a support system and a group of people who truly care and motivate you can make you feel like your place on earth is validated and important. They give you a reason to live life fully.

It's also the things we do for ourselves that make us feel alive. From little adventures around town to vacations in foreign countries, new places offer us new insight to counter what we already know. New experiences like going to college or moving across the country can open a door we may have been afraid to open before.

These risks and new beginnings can actually be the beginning of our lives. They can cause us to try something new or to question what we already know, helping us find what we didn't know we were searching for within ourselves.

Experiences that make our heart race and our adrenaline rush are the ones that make us feel alive. When we look back and say, "Wow, imagine if I didn't do that? My life wouldn't be the same" or "I would've never known I was capable of this," that's when you know it was all worth it. Searching for deeper meanings within our lives is how we find ourselves. It is how we live every day on earth to fullest and truly feeling that statement and not just saying it.

For the people on the journey for deeper meanings, stick to it. For those who are afraid, take the leap. Know that better days and a better you can benefit from taking chances, exploring the world, falling in love, and changing things up. It's scary but that's why the outcome is so rewarding and fulfilling.

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.
