Hey you,

No matter what's going on, it's always going to be okay. Please stop saying slightly worrisome things like you don't want to be here and making people worry about you. I know you probably don't want to be here. If everything seems as if it's not going the way that you want or expected know that things usually work out in the end. Everything has seemingly served a purpose up to this point in your life. So please, please, stop stressing about everything going wrong.

If you can't stop crying, that's alright, it's going to eventually stop and you'll be able to breathe through your nose again. No worries.

Be patient. You're not the only one that's going through things. We all have our own problems. We all have our own burdens. You are never, ever, ever alone.

Also-- you do have a purpose. You've made more of an impact on people around you than you know. Always remember that you are gonna be alright. It's so absolutely okay. You matter. You matter to your entire family. You matter to all your friends. And your fur-children!!!

Please be patient with that little mind too. Sometimes it's going to tell you like you're no good and you're worthless. But trust me, you're really not. You are good. Your life has worth. You are worth so much to so many people. It's not fair that your mind does this to you and makes you think otherwise but you constantly have to remember that you are loved and that it's going to be alright always.

I know some days it seems like there are no reasons to do anything. Stay in bed. Take a break for an hour (or a day). But don't let your mind ruminate. Stop letting it control your mind!

We're going to be alright.

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.
