And you will too.

I've been there. I know, it's hard. You're going through a terrible breakup. You think it's never going to get better. But guess what. It will.

You may not see it now, but everything gets so much better.

Yes, I was once like you. But yes, I found the GOOD in goodbye. That goodbye was the best thing that had ever happened to me, even though I didn't know it at the time. At the time, I was sad beyond words. I didn't want to get out of bed. I never thought it was going to get better. I just thought everything was going to get worse.

Then one day, a long time later, I woke up and I was happy. I was happy with myself and my life. I was over my ex. I was truly living my best life at this point. The day that I had been hoping and praying for finally came.

Without that goodbye, I never would have found the amazing guy I'm with today. He treats me so good. I am so much happier now than I have ever been. Without that goodbye, I never would have found the real me. That goodbye made me into the person I am today and I could never be more thankful for something.

Right now, it's hard. It may be hard for a long time. But eventually, everything will be 10x better than you could even imagine. Just know that if your relationship didn't work out, it's nobody's fault. Some things just aren't meant to be, and that's ok.

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.

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.
