To the Girl Who Feels The World Is Against Her

Just stop. Stop stressing. Stop assuming. And just breathe.

Hey there, it's been a pretty crappy day hasn't it? If it was something big or small that happened, you obviously feel like the world is just against. How can it not feel like it!? That guy called you a slut, that girl you call your friend ignored you at lunch, your parents yelled at you for something your sister did, it's been one heck of a day.

Okay, stop. Stop stressing. Stop assuming. Just stop.

Take a deep breath. Tell yourself it`ll be okay because, in fact, it will. This time will pass, it can't rain forever, and nor will it.

All that pain and loneliness you feel right now will pass! Even if it's depression, the urge to cut or maybe even kill yourself, it'll pass. I have no doubts that you're not in pain right now, I know your pain. It's been a crappy day, a crappy week, a crappy few months, or maybe even a crappy few years.

My advice to you is to just, sleep. Take a personal day off work, maybe skip that class for your personal health and just, go to sleep.

Often times, I have discovered that when you're feeling overwhelmed it's easier to take a step back, and it's best to do that by sleeping. Sleeping is an amazing way to temporarily escape your problems. Sometimes It's best to get away from the stress and revisit it when you're refreshed.

I promise you, it will get better! You cannot have a human life without suffering. You never know what tomorrow will bring. For those of you who suffer from depression, I am deeply sorry. I know it's painful and it doesn't seem like things will get better, but they will. Please don't kill yourself just because of one bad day.

I understand, however, it's not just one bad day, it's lots of them, and even then, it's more than that. Take it from someone who has been through the whole 9 yards and even lost a friend from suicide, it does get better! If you kill yourself you affect more people than you could ever know, I promise.

Think of life like a lake. Each drop is everyone in your life that is affected by you, or even know you or know of you. If you take your life, it's like throwing a huge rock into that lake.

The bigger ripples are your family and friends, as they are the most affected. The smaller ripples are everyone else if they knew you or not. Everyone is affected, more than you can possibly imagine.

For example, I had a friend kill himself via overdose, I was devastated and became depressed when I found out. I literally cried my eyes out for hours because he was no longer alive on this earth.

When anything suicide-related comes up, my stomach immediately feels sick and I tend to fight off tears, it changed me. I was talking to a good guy friend of mine telling him how I was having a hard time dealing with it. He once told me that he, not even knowing Blake, had to talk to someone about it because he was affected by it.

You are not alone, you will never be alone. I promise. This pain you feel now, it'll transform you. It can make you change yourself, for the better, if you let it. However, don't let the pain take control. Find an outlet. For me, writing is an outlet, for NF (Christian rapper) it's his music, for some it`s running. Just please find a healthy outlet or distraction.

God has more planned for you than this. This could be a blessing in disguise! Pain makes you strong. I promise it will and does get better.

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.
