To My Sister The First Time Your Heart Breaks

Everyone will experience a heart break someday, it is apart of life and it helps us grow, but believe me when I say that if I could break my heart so you did not have to feel yours break, I would.

To My Sister The First Time Your Heart Breaks

Sister,

I pray that you will never feel your heartbreak. I pray you never lie in bed at night and cry yourself to sleep. I pray nobody ever makes you feel like you are not enough. I pray that you never feel unworthy of someone. I pray, but because this is life and you are the sensitive and thoughtful creature you are, I know that one day you will indeed feel your heart break.

From the day you were born, even as a child, I felt it was my responsibility to protect you. I sang you to sleep when the monsters under your bed were too loud, I was a voice of reason when you thought Mom and Dad weren't on your side (one day you will realize that they were always on your side), and I even saved you from a few fashion catastrophes (denim on denim is never okay), however, unfortunately, I cannot shield you from this. Everyone will experience a heart break someday, it is a part of life and it helps us grow, but believe me when I say that if I could break my heart so you did not have to feel yours, I would.

When you do feel like your heart is about to beat out of your chest and all you know how to do is cry, know this as well:

You are so loved. You are a daughter of God. He took the time to perfectly craft you into the beautiful, smart, kind child that you are and because of this you are worthy. You are worthy of all the happiness and love in the world. You are enough. One person, a million people, cannot tell you that you are not enough because your Father says you are enough! I, your sister, who loves you more than anything in the world, says you are enough.

God has a plan for each and every one of us and when someone walks out of your life, trust that He opened the door for them for a reason, there is always a reason.

Know that no matter what you will always be my baby girl and I will always be your big sister. So please... call me at two in the morning. Wake me up instead of crying alone. I will never judge you, I will never think your problems are too small, and I will always try to hide you from the monsters under your bed.

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:

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.
