To My First Significant Other

An open letter to the first person who made me feel loved.

To My First Significant Other
Power Of Positivity

Dear Significant Other,

I don't know how to exactly put the feelings I have toward you into words. I do know that you have showed me so much more than I have ever known already. I am not used to getting this type of attention, so I really adore having it now after a long time. Although we haven't known each other too long, I just want to thank you.

Thank you for letting me talk to you when I have anxiety. From tests to the little things like if I look OK, you are there to listen and help me overcome. I have never had someone in my life, besides a few close friends, who can calm me down, and actually are willing to listen. I know that my anxiety can get bad, so I get nervous talking to anyone about this. You make me feel comfortable, safe and human when I have these problems. I wanna be there for you when the same thing occurs on your end.

Thank you for making me feel beautiful. From dress and heels, to sneakers and sweats you make me feel like I am perfect the way I am every day. I used to get teased for my appearance, but with you I know that I don't need makeup to make me look beautiful, rather my confidence in myself. It is not about the clothes, my nails or my hair. I just have to remember to have confidence in myself. I know we all have our insecurities, but honey you are perfect too.

Thank you for being my supporter. There are times where I do not believe in myself, but you somehow manage to make me wanna get back in the saddle and keep going. Whether it be academics, work or whatever, you just have that way about you to make me want to keep going. There will be times where you need me there for you as well, and I want to be there however I can. Life is not always easy, but I am a personal believer when people say that two is better than one.

Most importantly: thank you so much for continuing to talk with me, and make me feel special. Sometimes my anxiety makes me feel as though I am being annoying, but the fact that you are still so willing to talk with me makes me feel better. It doesn't even matter what we are talking about. Hell, you could be telling me about the day you had and I would feel so glad that you felt you could trust me with it. I want to continue to keep this type of contact with you, and I hope to meet you soon.

Overall, there is a lot more that I could thank you for, but I know that I wanted to get these thanks out. I do not know how I got so lucky to get you in my life. Even if you do not feel the same way, it is OK, but I wanted to communicate this to you the best I could.

Sincerely,

A Significant Other

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.
