To The Angel That Was Taken Too Soon
Jodi Mitchell

To the angel who was taken too soon,

My heart still skips a beat when the clock strikes five, and your old soccer numbers the first thing that comes to mind. A tear still tickles my cheek as the 26th of each month comes, and the months that you’ve been gone continue to count on. Your gravestone has become a monument for those who adored you and release a sense of comfort for those who loved you.

To my angel who was taken too soon, I want you to know I live each day with you by my side, although you may not be there physically I know spiritually we walk hand in hand. Your body may lay to rest now, but your spirit continues to carry on. When the skies turn to grey and the days seem to grow longer, I think back to the times we shared and they never fail to make a rainbow appear from up high. When nothing seems to be going right and the stress starts to kick in, I look down at my dashboard to your smiling face on your prayer card, reminding me that this isn’t the end. As our old favorite song suddenly turns on the radio, I look over to my empty passenger seat, and know that you are with me dancing and laughing as my frown begins to curve into a smile.

To my angel who was taken to soon, I hope you received every balloon released in the sky for you and every prayer read out loud for you. I hope you can see all the lives you’ve touched, and all the perspectives you’ve changed since you left us. I hope you see how many people love you, and know how many people think of you each second of every day. I hope your braces are now off your teeth and that you no longer need your glasses. I hope your out of pain and all your wounds are healed. Most importantly I hope you know that an angel like you is irreplaceable, and wherever we may go, you may tag along too. For, your story hasn’t ended yet, it has just begun. This is simply just a semicolon in your sentence, waiting to be continued, for when we meet again.

To my angel who was taken too soon, I love you and I miss you more than words can explain, but I live for the day that I’ll see you again.

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.

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.
