Hi. I haven't seen you in a while. I miss you. But you dropped me for your boyfriend, and that hurts.

You promised me that this wouldn't happen. Even before the two of you got together, you said that you were going to put us first. Your friends were your priority. We were the people that had been there with you through everything. We were your people. Your best friends.

But then you found him.

We were all thrilled for you at first. We still are thrilled for you. He seemed like a great guy, and he is a great guy. At first, everything was fine. You still hung out with us almost every day. But eventually, you started to bring your boyfriend with you.

And that was fine; we liked him. But then we started seeing less and less of you. Our group chat went stale. The only times that we saw you were when we ran into you in the dining hall or outside the dorm. You didn't make an effort to hang out with us. He was more important than the people who had been with you through everything. It feels like we aren't enough for you.

Now I see you maybe once a week, and it's always in passing. We don't hang out anymore. It makes me sad. I miss you. We had been through a lot together. You helped me through some really hard times in my life, and I'll always be grateful for that. But if I'm going to be your second choice, that hurts me. I want to be able to see you and hang out with you again.

If you want to come back, I'd be thrilled. But we're going to have to build some bridges to get over this river that has grown between us. But I'm willing to be here for you if that's what you want. And I hope that it is.

I know that you're not going to read this, but I hope that you will. Because I still hope that you'll come back.

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.
