I never got to meet you. You were out of the picture way before I entered.

I understand you have a lot of hatred in your heart and I don't know who put that there. You treat people like objects rather than friends. I don't know who hurt you, but I am sorry you are hurting.

I just wanted to thank you for the many things you have done without ever meeting me.

Thank you for breaking his heart. Thank you for making him miserable for the few months you dated. Thank you for treating him the way you did. Because without you, he wouldn't have gone looking for me.

If he had been happy he would've stayed. He would've never given up on your relationship. You helped him grew into a better man. You helped him realize what he wanted in life. He was done playing games, and I am sorry it hurt you when he was done playing yours.

As a girl, I understand your perceptive. You loved him. Well, you thought you loved him. I understand it is hard to let someone go that you cared so much about. I have been there. But just like I let go of my past, I am glad you finally let him go.

I wish you the best. I hope someone comes along and finally treats you the way you want to be treated. I hope you find your perfect puzzle piece. I wish you happiness. I hope you let go of the anger and hatred in your heart. But in all honesty, I hope we never cross paths. We would have no words to exchange or benefit from being friends. It would just be weird.

I wanted to thank you for being you. Because you and I are very different. Because I have learned so much from someone I have never met. Because you sent me my best friend. Thank you for never meeting me. Thank you for letting him go.

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.
