so you say you've changed? Let's Talk About It

You tell yourself never again, not going down that road, and then one simple text "hey" leads you down the rabit hole once again.

so you say you've changed? Let's Talk About It


Weeks turn into months and he hasn't texted you, he becomes a distant memory, a ghost of your past. Then, suddenly one day it all comes rushing back with a simple text "hey you still look good." During those few months, I wasn't waiting or moping around looking pathetic but just hoping his life was good. Nope, I'm still here living my best life but that little text totally sucked me back in.

It brings me back to the snapchatting, facetimes, and the texts from a few months ago. Its simple little things that lead to history repeating itself.

It's the promises that "you've changed", "things will be different", and you "really like me." Yup, I'm that girl that fell back into the trap and has someone feeding me all the bullshit they know I want to hear. I have to stop and ask myself how many other girls are as dumb as I am to believe it all. It's comical to learn I'm probably not the only one. One good day, after all the promises are made isn't enough to prove you have changed. Us girls, if you haven't noticed like consistency. We get you have lived beside us but we do like attention.

Is the one good morning text enough to prove you've changed? Or were those tickets for the Red Sox really for us? How about those summer concerts at Fenway? All little things promised but with no follow through. How about the date nights promised too?

So, when does the boy man up and stop letting history repeat itself. Better yet when do I let history stop repeating itself and realize its time to move on? How about when you offer to help paint his apartment or meet him when he should be coming to you? Girls are smart enough and know when he texts you "I'll let you know" when you ask him to hang out that nothing has changed.

Open your eyes and see the truth not what you hope or want out of him.

When he has really changed, you'll know.

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.

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.
