To My Ex Best Friend,

I hope you're doing well. I hope school is getting better than it was at the beginning of the semester. I know it seems like a lot of hard work now, but you will thank yourself when you get the job of your dreams in 6 years. I hope your mid terms went well. I was supposed to help you study for them. I hope you found a new study buddy who can help you better than I could. I hope they understand that you need a study break every 15 minutes because when you focus for too long your head begins to throb.

I hope your performances are going well. I know you were super nervous about them. I'm sure they've gone wonderfully. I know you did wonderful at the first one. I told you I would go, but we were fighting at the time. I sat in the back and never told you. It was one of the best performances I had ever seen. You looked amazing up on that stage.

I hope you have found people with whom you connect with. I hope they are the best of friends to you. I hope they're there for you when you're down and there for you when you're jumping with joy. I hope they understand your little quirks which I have grown to love over the years. I hope they cherish your unique sense of humor and your sarcastic personality. I hope they realize how lucky they are to have a friend like you. You're one of a kind.

I hope they love you like I did do. I have known you for going on 7 years and I have never once regretted the friendship we have shared. You have always been there for me no matter what. Through every breakup and all of the adventures we have embarked on. You were there for me when all of the idiot guys you warned me about ended up hurting me. You were there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on because I failed that test. You were there for me when I was collapsed on the school floor because I didn't think I could keep up such a fake smile anymore. You kept me afloat when I was begging you to let me sink and I could never thank you enough for that.

I know people grow apart and that it is all a part of life, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to lose the one person who has always stuck by me. We have been a package deal since we were basically 12 and now here we are going on to 19 and we don't even know how to say hello anymore. We went from texting each other 24/7 religiously to maybe sharing 10 texts a day to now none. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss you because honestly my heart aches to talk to you every second of every day I do.

But I truly hope you're happy. I wish you all the best and if you ever need me don't hesitate to call me. I will always be here for you. We may not talk everyday now but you will still always hold that special place in my heart. Thank you for the past 7 years. I will always treasure the memories we shared together. I love you. Always and forever.

Sincerely,

Your Ex Best Friend

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.
