What Single People Want To Say During Engagement Season

We are ecstatic that you're getting married, honestly! It's really adorable to see how happy you are together and see the amazingly cheesy engagement photos....and then the other 17 that you've decided to post because "they were too cute not to!" We agree, it is very cute, but please we don't need to see you, your significant other and your ring 30 times on our news feed. We don't need to be put through that torture. You were in our shoes once, remember? Last engagement season? Weren't you also complaining about the high volume of rings?

Okay, so you don't remember? Let me jog your memory. Engagement season is that happy time of year that everyone is filled with good cheer and holiday spirit, it's a time that everyone realizes what they're thankful for and who they want to get the most thoughtful gift for. That get's people thinking! Man, I'm willing to spend this much or do this sweet of a thing for someone? I must really like them. Hell, maybe even love them. Maybe...just maybe...I love them enough to marry them AND that could be my Christmas gift!

Do you remember now? Thought so. Don't look at us like that. We're just reminding you what it feels like to be on the other side of the screen. I promise you that we are so, so, SO happy for you! Everyone deserves to have their moments of pure, unadulterated bliss on Facebook and in life, but just remember we can't share in your bliss for every single photo. The first few? Okay, sure, the happy couple is gorgeous! But can you let it rest now and just wait until the next set of photos to rub it in our faces?

....Okay...maybe we are a little jealous. You look deliriously happy and then we forget what it's like to be so happy in love that you want to shout out to the rooftops or share it endlessly on Facebook as if to say "LOOK WHO I CONVINCED TO MARRY ME HAHA." While we're on the other end finding the stupidest reasons to be unhappy for you. We think the ring is ugly. Those photos were too cheesy. The couple is way too young. I've actually seen them fight so much, omg.

We're sorry we put a damper on your engagement photos and posts. We forget what it's like to be excited like that sometimes. Just like you forget what it's like to have to see a couple be much happier than what you think you are at this very moment.

Congratulations. Happy Engagement!

(Please stop reminding us every week with a new photo from your engagement session.)

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.
