Would You Love Me Any Less?

I hope my beliefs don’t change you.

I'm gonna start by saying I AM NOT GOING TO APOLOGIZE FOR MY BELIEFS, and sorry if you don't like what I have to say.

First, I believe love is love. I don't care if it's between man and women, girl and girl, or man and man. I may be straight, but I will support the LBGTQ+ community. We are all people and deserve to be treated as such.

And if you are reading this and need a friend, ally, safe space, or all the above- I am your person. I have no room to judge.

Secondly, I don't like how the government thinks it can control women's bodies. Making it hard to have access to birth control and abortions should not be up to anyone but the body it has affected.

What are they going to take next? Our education?

Third, I really don't like the negative stigma behind mental health. It is never a choice. I'll use me as an example. Four years ago do you really think I chose to have an eating disorder? It's a disorder for a reason, it's not something we can snap out of and that goes for everything: depression, anxiety, all of it. It's a struggle that can be treated with help, but don't ever put the blame on the person that is struggling.

So what I want to know is- would you love me any less knowing my beliefs?

I know most of my friends and family may have different views and I fully respect that, but please don't bash mine just because I see things differently.

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.

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.
