Who knew we'd end up like this.

To The Person That I Thought I Knew

I don't know who to address this letter to anymore because you are not the person that I thought you were. It sucks that it took me a couple of years to figure that out, but better late than never, right?

First, I want to say thank you. Thank you for all of the memories that we made together. We had some really fun times together and we made some memories that I will always hold on to. I'm thankful for all of the pictures because they never change, even when the people in them do. I'm thankful for all the mistakes we made together because that meant that we learned a lesson together. I enjoyed all of those times and having you by my side. I was your sidekick, and I thought that things would be like that forever. Obviously, I was wrong; I was wrong about a lot of things.

Secondly, I want to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that we don't talk. I'm sorry that we don't make all of the memories that we thought we would. After graduation, we still talked so much and we told each other everything. I'm sorry that you changed and that I changed and that it happened so fast. Life changes and things don't always go the way that you planned them to. The fact that we haven't had a real conversation in months hurts me but if you cared, you would've tried to make things right by now. You would've told me that you were sorry and the fact that you didn't makes everything a lot more real.

I really thought that I knew who you were. You were one of my best friends, but everything changed so quickly. We didn't talk as much. You stopped answering my texts, without even explaining why. You didn't even feel like you owed me an explanation. And then things blew up and you said stuff that I hope made you feel better. I really do hope it made you feel better.

I don't hate you but I don't like who you've become, and I guess that is not up to me. Someday our paths might cross again, but until then, I hope you have a good life. I hope that all of your dreams come true and that your life becomes what you wanted it to be. I hope you work on yourself and become who you want to be because, in the end, that's all that matters-- your happiness. Best of luck.

Until we meet again,

Me

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.
