The moment that you realize the person you love is in love with someone else your whole world is turned upside down. Everything you once thought you knew, or everything you once hoped for is no longer true. Now you're left to pick up the pieces on your own and watch someone you love, be in love with someone else. And let me tell you, it sucks.

The pain will be excruciating at first. Worse than the tonsillectomy you got when you were 18 and your parents shorted you on your pain meds. You will feel like your whole world just came crashing down around you and that it will take years for you to build it back up. You're going to feel like you will never be okay again, but that is just not true.

When you realize that the person you love is in love with someone else you might blame yourself and feel defeated. You will begin asking yourself questions like, was I not good enough? Did I do something to make them want to find love somewhere else? No. Them falling in love with someone else almost always has nothing to do with you.

Then comes the denial. Your friends might think that you've started to move on because you don't cry every time you hear their name. But nope, it's worse. You have now convinced yourself that this is just their way of realizing that they are supposed to end up with you. Your subconscious will do this to you as a way of trying to cope with all of the pain you've been feeling. It wants you to stop hurting and the only way it knows to do that is to convince yourself that none of the pain is reality. But it is.

Realizing that the person you love is in love with someone else is something that no one ever wants to go through but unfortunately almost everybody does. It will take time but eventually you will heal, we all do. Someday you are going to meet someone else, and you are going to fall in love with them. And this time, they aren't going to leave you for someone else. They are going to love you back forever. You will look back on the time that you had to watch the person you thought was your soulmate fall in love with someone else and you will be grateful that you had that experience.

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.

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.
