An Open Letter To The Boy I Will Never Be Good Enough For

I've accepted it by now.

I talked about you like you single handedly put each star in the sky, and maybe I still talk about you that way — maybe it's not past tense. The first day we talked, our phone call was six hours and it was eight hours the next night.

You got me.

Every time we spoke, or even text, I was constantly laughing and realizing more and more that you were going to be a person i couldn't shake. Nor did I want to.

You checked every box for me: you were a musician, you had long messy hair and a smile that made me melt which you witnessed so many times over our disgustingly adorable Facetimes where i’d spend what felt like hours just looking at you.

I just wish I checked those boxes for you.

Maybe I just read into things too much, and maybe I just saw what I wanted to because I could swear I made you as nervous as you made me and I could swear you were as confident in our connection as I was.

But of course you weren't.

I should have seen you not being into me from a mile away.

Everything we had was built from loneliness on your behalf and me finding out what a stellar guy you are on my behalf. Girls like me don't get guys like you — I've seen the movies, so I should have seen the ending.

I thought — no, prayed — that the spark wouldn't be there in person and that I could move on with no hassle. However, it was there. The second I saw you and heard your laugh in person, it confirmed everything. Everyone I was with could see it written on my face: I was absolutely smitten.

Quickly after our encounter that ended in me crying in a parking lot at 2 a.m.,I felt like a guy would never see in me what I saw in him our communication was cut.

It was official I was to you just a girl that wasn't good enough for you and you were a boy that was too good for 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.

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.
