Life is messy. We constantly have things thrown at us that we don't think we can recover from. We have a bad day and tell ourselves that we can't get back up. We get yelled at in class, something goes wrong at work, a friend decides they don't want to continue the friendship anymore, or a lover tells you that they don't want you anymore.

These are just a few situations that people around the world are going through as we speak. Every single day, we face hardships. We have days where we feel like everything is going wrong, days that we don't even know what to do with ourselves anymore.

These situations can result in feeling lost. At the point where one feels lost, they don't know what to do with themselves. Multiple things go bad and suddenly, we start to question everything in our lives; even the good. We question our jobs, our majors, our schoolwork, our family life and our relationships. Nothing feels right anymore and we don't know what to do.

But, here's the thing about being lost. It is TEMPORARY.

The one thing that people don't understand is that it's normal to feel lost.

In life, we have to question things more than once because we want to make sure we're making the right choices. We have to go through hardships because they will make us stronger in the long run.

Feeling lost in life is crucial at least one or twice, or honestly however many times until we feel like we finally have it figured out.

DO NOT settle for a life that you don't believe is good enough for you.

It's okay to feel lost.

It's okay not to be okay.

I promise you, that no matter how you're feeling right now - you're going to find your way home.

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?

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.
