Dear You

You left me, but now I'm stronger.

Dear You

Dear you,

Hey, remember me? I bet you do. Remember all those nights we stayed up talking, all those sweet words. All those big dreams we shared. All of my deepest darkest secrets, my insecurities, all of the trust I handed you. I gave you all of my time, all my love. I worked so hard to be just right for you. Perfect for you. All the nights I didn't sleep because I was working on those "open when" letters I wrote you to show my love and how much I cared. All of the money I spent on those clothes I bought just to try and impress you. All I wanted was to see you happy. I wanted to make you happy. I wanted to be the reason you were happy. Just when I thought life was great, you and I were perfect, it crashed. Just. Like. That.

I heard rumors about you and her... But all you had to was tell me everything I wanted to hear. Then came back the rumors... but your words just kept blocking them out. I stood right next to you. I didn't leave. But then you got weird. So weird it was with one of my best friends. I didn't even have a clue or believe everyone. You weren't you. You changed. You were slowly disappearing. I was a fool. Everything that I listened to was a lie.

But then you threw me down like I was nothing. Like you never even loved me. But, Karma is a b*tch. As you have learned, and will continue to learn. Sorry. You'll get it someday. Someone will snap your heart just like you did to mine. Then I hope you feel sorry. I hope you don't do this to anyone else.

But, I'd also like to say thank you. Thank you for making me smarter. I am a better me now. I was afraid of love, but now I'm not so rusty anymore. Thanks to you, I'm stronger and wiser.

xoxo,

The one you used to love

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.
