To the girl who struggles to get by every single day. The one who avoids looking in the mirror when she would only see that she's not good enough, pretty enough, anything that one can think. To the girl who compares herself constantly to others.

It's hard to accept yourself, not just certain parts of you, but every square inch of you; inside and out. No matter what, you should always know that there are people who accept you for yourself and love you deeply, think the world of you, admire you and cares about you. It's hard in this generation because so many people just care about the likes on a post, how many retweets you have or reposts. Some see these as worth or acceptance of being "perfect". This is not something to try to live up to every single day.

To the girl who struggles to love herself, there's no magic wand that someone can do to get rid of the hurt, pain, or to just tell yourself to love yourself. But there are so many people who understand,

I'm going to tell you that you are understood. I understand what it feels like to not want to get out of bed because you wonder the point in that. You don't want to face people today because you feel too ashamed. To have that constant thought in your mind of what people may be saying about you, judging you, but ultimately being your own worst bully. I am here to tell you that its okay, its okay to not be 100% in love with yourself, and if you did, you wouldn't be human. It's natural to have insecurities, have regrets and doubts. But its what you do with them that will determine your fate.

You are beyond special, people are so different and it's such a good thing because everyone brings something to this world and only you can bring what you have, no one else.

You are caring. You have a huge heart for others, and others see that! It's time for you to start too as well! You put others' needs before your own, and it comes from the goodness of your heart; never lose that quality. I promise you'll move mountains.

You are worthy of happiness. You deserve to be happy, the best kind of happiness you can find. You're an amazing person with a great personality. You put the happiness of others before your own. Well, that is okay, but you need to make sure you are happy too first and foremost.

You are Beautiful. You are fearlessly and wonderfully made. You are stunning, and every unique thing about you shines from the inside out! You are, right now, at this moment, the best thing you could ever be in this world, and that is you.

You may have awful thoughts about yourself, but you are worth so much more than those thoughts, it's a constant battle to work on self-love but never doubt yourself. You are capable of moving mountains.

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.

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?

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.
