To The Girl Who Takes Care Of Everyone Else
FemPop

Dear Sweet Girl,

The girl that constantly takes care of everyone but herself. The girl that stays up all night to console a heart broken friend. The girl that swallows her own feelings to support her friend’s new relationship. The girl who knows by a Tweet exactly how her friends are doing. The girl who’ll spend all day cooking for her loved ones and then forget to eat herself. The girl who will volunteer for everything to make sure others have fun. The girl that texts to make sure everyone got home all night. The girl who keep chocolate on her at all times in case someone has a bad day. The girl who has all of this love to give.

You are an amazing creature. I want you to know I see you doing all of that. I watch you run yourself ragged because you want everyone to be okay. I want you to know that you are appreciated and so very loved.

I know somedays you don’t feel like yourself. Some days you want to be the one curled up in bed crying, but instead you’re always on the move helping someone. I know that you often feel lonely in a crowd of people, questioning if people even care that you’re there. I know that sometimes you need just someone to take care of you and I know that that makes you feel like a burden.

Oh my darling, you could never be a burden. You spend your life taking care of and loving people. You deserve some of that. You deserve someone that will check up on you every day and bring you a piece of chocolate when you are sad. Someone that knows instantly when you don’t feel like yourself and knows just how to fix it.

I hope someone in your life will do that for you. I hope someone is willing to hold you while you cry and squeeze your hand when you feel lonely. I hope they understand that sometimes you don’t feel like yourself.

You are one of the most wonderful people in this world. A person that can just keep giving and giving, spreading love wherever you go. Keep spreading love and please remember to take some for yourself.

We are lucky to have you.

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:

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.
