To the One Who Held Me Back

I may be broken but what is broken can be fixed.

Please get away from me. I hate you. You took everything good out of me and caused me to become someone that I'm not.

I was a kind, loving, well-spoken young lady who is now unsure of her true identity. You are the only one to blame for this.

You abused and used me. You took my money, my time, and most importantly my dignity. I am so lost and don't know which way to turn. I became dependent upon you and now without your self-proclaimed calming voice inside my head, I have no one to rely on.

I can't trust anyone because of you. I have turned against those who are there for me and truly want the best for me all because of the lies and unkind words you made me believe. They kept telling me to run to get away from you, but I did not listen. I kept pushing myself further and further down into the black hole that now envelopes my life.

The manipulation is still existing in my deepest thoughts. I remember you told me that I am worthless, not worth the time of the lowest scum that ever walked this world. You told me that I would never be good enough for you.

Here I am today still stuck in your trap while good-hearted people try to break me out of this spell. You may think that this is not your fault, that you left my life and the aftermath is all on me. You are wrong. You caused all of this and the sweetest revenge is letting you know that you don't matter to me.

So even though I am in the same position you left me in, I promise you that I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that you watch me fly. You tried to hold me down all this time and you will watch me take off. I hope you enjoy the view from below where you belong.

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.
