To Those Who Feel Unlovable: STOP.
http://www.sebascelis.com

To those who feel unlovable,

Somebody brought you down so far that you can’t remember what it’s like to feel loved. Maybe it was a long-time lover, a one-night stand, or even yourself. You look in the mirror and see something that doesn’t deserve love, let alone will find it again through someone else or through self-love.

STOP. Realize that love isn’t something that everybody can give you, even though they should. Realize there are people out there that will make you feel so great and then so shitty during the span of days or months. You’ll be driven against their harsh words, but eventually you will give in and believe the words they say. STOP. Words are just words and you shouldn’t let a few letters ruin your day or life.

Ugly. Stupid. Loser. Fat. Anorexic. Gullible. These are all words somebody might have said to you. And in what justice do they have to say that? Can people prove half of what they say? No, so stop giving somebody the power do so.

You are beautiful. It doesn’t matter what others say or what you think. Beauty is such a stereotypical synonym for perfection today, and in that case, nobody is perfect anyways. Beauty is accepting your flaws as perfections and forgetting those who don’t do or believe the same.

STOP beating yourself up for some things you can’t fix about yourself. Your hair. Your face. Your brain. You were born this way. To those who couldn’t accept you as is, they weren’t your time in the first place. Find those who love you for you even if you have to go through a few flukes and mistakes

Love wasn’t meant to be easy and it shouldn’t be. If it drags you through hell and back, show hell you can take the heat. Words and hurt can’t shake you because only you can decide your fate.

STOP crying and live. Look in the mirror and realize that nobody in the world is exactly like you and being you is a gift. Don’t let somebody who tries to reject and not return the gift of your love have your love anymore. GO and be brave.

To those who feel unlovable, you are lovable, and you do not deserve damn less.

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:

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.
