A very open letter to that one "friend"

I am sure you're fine

Hey girl,

I am sure you're doing great, but I wanted to write a very open letter to you.

I understand now that life is about change. That people come, and people go.

And you definetly cannot be friends with everyone, you have to "click."

Not only am I writing this as a closing to us ever knowing each other, I am writing it for guys and girls who have found themselves in my shoes.

It's hard to accept the fact, that I considered you a friend, and you considered me a "friend."

Then, I didn't know there was a difference.

Sure, we had some good times, "Go Vols, amirite"

But we also had some very bad times, I'd never really experienced a fight with a friend like this before.

Maybe we didn't last because I was a freshman and you were a junior in Highschool when we met at the Vol walk, or maybe because i was blind then, and writing this I am now a Junior in Highschool, and you're a college freshman.

I am sure by now you know who you are, please out of respect to me don't reach out to me, just as well I am sure the people around me know who you are.

A friendship is a two way street, I talk to you about my problems, and you talk to me about yours. You can't always be talking about yourself in a friendship.

Back then, I didn't know that.

That's the sad thing.

Maybe I was so stupid to not see it, maybe I was holding onto something that wasn't there. Honestly my mental health is much more important than the "friendship" we had.

I honestly hope you don't treat all of your friends this way, and I hope you learned to not tell someone in a "rough situation" to just "deal with it."

I am not a bad person, in fact I am a good person, I tried many times to continue the friendship, but only got hurt in the end, I am doing fine now, and I hope you are too.

I won't bring up the past again, I won't wish anything bad on you.

No, in fact I hope you're doing great, in your studies, and in your friendships, and in the search for the boy of your dreams.

I hope you have nothing but good that comes your way.

But I do stay in constant prayer for you, that you may change your ways to not hurt another like you did me, but that is the past, and this is now.

Don't worry, I won't say any of the bad but true things I experienced in this "friendship," and when people ask if I know you, I won't say yes, I will say no, I knew her. I wish for you to do the same towards me.

If not, then that is your Morals, not mine.

Christians don't play gossip girl.

This letter is written from the bottom of my heart and not out of anger or spite, I truly hope it reaches you, and I hope you understand that. I truly wish you nothing but the best for you in your future.

I have grown, matured, and become a much stronger person now.

I would totally remind you of who I am,

But,

Honestly,

I totally don't see a reason I should.

P.S. I may be younger than you, but I totally still think I am more mature, and I have friends who back me.

Goodbye, forever this time.

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.
