At this point I don't know why I am crying.

What is it like to live a life full of emotion? I mean we all have emotions, but some of us just have an abundance and they are constantly showing because we are just way too emotional. You recognize us as people who cry a lot and people who sometimes laugh way too hard at the dumb jokes, but most of the time we are pretty cool people. Some people just don't understand and that is okay because I am here to show you what it's really like. I'll give you an inside look at how we live and how we feel, even though most of the time we are just confused as everyone else. Honestly, why do I have to start crying because the Walmart got painted? Why do my emotions not want to be friends?

Sometimes we get so overwhelmed with emotion we start crying

Why? I wish I could tell you. It's so annoying, but the tears just come and they don't stop. It's almost like whatever emotion it is- I can never tell- just sits there and builds up so much it explodes everywhere. No matter the emotion, too much of it will always cause tears... it's like a volcano of emotion.


Sometimes we think we are going to cry but we actually don't

It makes zero sense, but it's like the emotion is there and it needs to come out but it won't. It hates us and it just wants to sit and be annoying, so we try to make the tears come like.....


Sometimes our emotions are so overwhelming we can't even function

Again, what? I just wish I understood my emotions and could control them. I want to be friends, I want to feel normal but they are out to get me. This has to stop.


We are always the joke

No, I get it- it really is hilarious. I'm not being sarcastic because I realize how hilarious it would be to watch someone get so overwhelmed they cry because the Walmart got painted (yeah I did that).


Honestly half the time we don't even know what emotion we have

How do I explain this? Oh, yes, a GIF.

We don't always cry because we're sad

Most times I am just so happy I have no idea how to react other than tears of joy.


Constantly saying "I have something in my eye"

The good news is I have contacts so I can just blame it on them when my emotions get the best of me and the tears start to pour.

We always feel what other people feel

This is the best part about being overly emotional. You understand when people are hurting and you feel that hurt too. You see people's joy and you feel it. It's almost like every emotion everyone else has adds on to all of yours and it's just the craziest feeling, but you love it all at the same time.

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.
