Thank you for being my person.

To The Friend I Thought I Lost Forever
Niyati Khakhar

In my experience, when friendships hit bumps, they end. They always end. I had never met a real friend who stuck by my side no matter what bumps were in the way. Until I met you.

Since the day we spoke for the first time, I noticed something. I noticed that you have a personality that I had never seen before. Life just flowed out of you, like a radiating light. No matter what was going on, your outgoing laugh and outlook on life just seemed to make all of the other stuff fade away. You always felt like a place I had never been. I knew I had something good; something worth holding on to. I would have done anything in my power to keep holding on to you. You slipped through my fingers faster than I ever could have anticipated, and it's a day that will run circles around my mind for a long time to come.

Have you ever met someone, that almost didn't seem human? Someone that was just so amazing that you just could not fathom how much love you had for this person? I certainly had never felt that. Losing you was the hardest, most horrible thing I could have imagined. That night, the world felt empty. Not just my bedroom, not just my building. There was something missing. That night I knew I had just let go of something that I would never be able to replace.

All the memories I have with you, all the laughs and awkward moments chased me in circles. I missed the feeling of knowing I had you. I was not going to let this be the end of it, if it was the last thing I did. Our inside jokes would slip out sometimes, and it would break my heart a little bit more each time.

"I LOVE YOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!"

Rekindling with you was by far the most refreshing and reassuring thing I have done. We both realized that this can not be so easily replaced, and I have really found myself one of the most loyal, loving, funny human beings there is.

Thank you for being my person, I truly love and appreciate everything you have been, and everything you are.

In case you forgot:

Your butt is perfect.

Your smile lights up the room.

Your mind is insanely cool.

You are way more than enough.

You are doing an amazing job at life.

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.
