I'm sorry.

I'm sorry your ego is so small that me being 'not being nice' to you has disrupted your archaic way of thinking: that a woman's only purpose is to please a man. I'm sorry that you think the only possible reason I was 'mean' to you was because I'm taking out my "same-sex attraction" out on you. I'm so sorry that you are so full of yourself that you couldn't possibly think that maybe you and your sexist remarks are the problem. I am so sorry that no woman has ever told you how arrogant, condescending, and misogynistic you really are.

I'm sorry that I lead you to believe that the only goal I have in life, as a 20 year old college student, is to find a husband. I'm sorry that instead of preparing myself to be a good little house wife, I learned how to have a mouth on me. I'm sorry I'm not the quiet, small, petite, nice girl you think I should be.

I'm sorry that you went your whole life thinking women were supposed to soft little flowers every single waking second of their life. I'm sorry no one told you women aren't soft spoken, Disney princesses. I'm sorry that despite being around women your whole entire life, you have no idea how to interact with one that doesn't like you. I'm sorry you live under this illusion that you are God's gift to man kind and women should fall right at your feet.

But lets be real. I'm so not sorry.

I'm not sorry that I don't care what you think. I'm not sorry that I'm not some ditsy air head that feels ever so lucky to be in a mans presence. I'm not sorry that I'm smart enough to correct you when you're wrong. I'm not sorry I'm that I intimidate you. I'm not sorry that I'm well-educated. I'm not sorry that you feel threatened by a strong independent woman.

I'm not sorry that finding a husband at my age (which, again, is 20) is not my number one priority. I'm not sorry that I think finding myself and being single when I'm young is a great plan. I'm not sorry that I would rather get my degree than be married right now. I'm not sorry that I would rather spend Friday nights hanging out with my friends than stay home to make a man a sandwich while doing his laundry.

I'm not sorry that you're offended by this article. I'm not sorry that I don't like you, or other guys that act exactly like you. I'm not sorry that I can see through your "nice guy" facade, and know how big of a pompous creep you really are.

This is not hate piece on all men. This a hate piece on you.

Have fun finding a wife.

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.
