Unsinkable Ships, Sink.

Don't ever understimate the impossible.

Broken down and tired. Physically, mentally and emotionally drained. These expressions only partially describe my life feelings at this point. Life has worn me out, but it's okay, I'm alive.

I have had a lot of time to myself to reflect on a lot of things. Relationships, school, and honestly just life in general. Things I really can't explain to people. I've got a sadness in my heart for a lot of people, I have worn myself out with school, and I have let the things of this world tear me down. We all feel like this every once in awhile. While I do not have any "real" life experience, as people call it, everything is enough to take an emotional toll on anyone at some point in time.

I say all this to say: life will knock you down. You think you have it all figured out, when in all honestly, that is nowhere near the truth. Life is laughing at you. My family tries to warn me against what I think is good, when they can see things I can't, but I don't listen, I am bad at listening to warnings, I always think I know best. Now, here I am, lessons learned with a sad heart, but still alive. Drained, but still breathing. Thank You, Lord.

I've relied on God so much through these past few weeks to show me what it is I'm supposed to be learning through my sadness. I don't have all the answers, but I know that God will never leave or forsake me. I chose a relationship over Him, and I left Him, but He never gave up on me. Though people give up on you, God never will. I, recently at one point, looked to people to make me happy, but they just can't. Maybe that's why I'm in this "funk" I'm in.

I am so grateful that I won't feel like this forever and that God truly has a plan for my life. He really does have it all planned out, and though I don't know what those plans are, I trust in Him.

"Unsinkable ships, sink. Unbreakable walls, break. Sometimes the things you think could never happen, happen just like that. Unbendable steel, bends if the fury of the wind is unstoppable. I've learned to never underestimate, the impossible."

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.
