To The Person Who Left When Things Got Rough
what they did next

You came into my life at a time where I was busy finding myself. A time where I often felt stressed, and would get annoyed at the littlest things. There were days where I wouldn’t talk, or I would ignore you, and you would get angry and think you did something wrong. Eventually instead of sticking with me, and being the person I needed, you left. You just walked away.

I’ll admit, I was hard to handle. I had an attitude and there were some days where you would just make me so mad I wanted to never speak to you again. I often would come to you with my silly problems, and seek your advice, it was because I trusted you, and I trusted you would be there and get me through the bad times. My mistake.

I often look back on that time and wonder if my life would be different if you decided to stick around. From the short time you were a part of my life, I cared about you, I cared about your happiness, and I often worried more about if you we’re okay, then if I was. I was willing to be the person for you that I wish I had. But, you gave up, and I’m sorry that you did.

I am sorry that you left because look at me now. I am happy, I am content. I put my all into everything. I make sure that the people in my life are happy. Sure, I went through a rough patch, I was so close to giving up on myself just like you gave up on me, but I didn’t, I didn’t because the other people in my life wouldn’t let me. You were just another bump, and I’m thankful for that.

Don’t get me wrong, I was sad when you decided to run away, but now? I don’t really care. It’s not because I don’t want to care, it’s because I can’t care! I couldn’t keep caring about you because I knew I wasn’t even a passing thought in your life.

You’re just like other people, you missed out on a good person who could make your life great, because I was a little difficult, because I apparently cared too much, but hey, the good ones never come easy. If you would have stayed and put up a fight and broke down my walls, you would’ve known that.

Thanks for leaving when things got bad, thanks for bailing when I counted on you. I hope one day you look back and think about the choice you made. I hope you see how happy I am, and realize that I was that good person that could’ve made your life great, but you’ll never know because you ran off when things were rough. Next time, remember, the good ones never come easy.

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.
