You Say You Aren't Worth It. You're Wrong.

Cheese so hard you turn into a cheddar block.

I'm not worthy of any attention or conversation. People don't need to waste their energy on me. I'm not worth the love and support others show me. Working hard isn't worth it. Nothing is good enough anymore. I'm not worth it or good enough.

Yes, you are.

This stream of thoughts running through your head is a toxic mess that needs to be thrown out.

You are worth every compliment, every smile, and every hard-working hour. You're good enough for that promotion and for their love. You deserve every ounce of acceptance, genuine kindness, and happiness in this world.

Bad days can seriously tear us down and it's easy to get wrapped up in our own little ball of negativity seeing no light in the bleak mental mess we've gotten ourselves into. Put your arms out and grope blindly because it's time to reach out for some positivity in your life.

We don't get long on this planet, so it's about time we start showing up for ourselves and stop denying any positive emotion people throw our way. It should be considered a crime to throw out love or affection someone offers us because we don't feel deserving.

Don't let that mentality control your life. I may sound like a scratch on the world's most positive record, but I'm serious. Smile more. Love more. And be more in the moments of happiness and love instead of stuck in your head doubting all of it.

No one gives their love without thinking about it and cheerfulness and smiles are the world's best currency. Take it freely by the armload and use that to fuel you on.

We have enough negativity to last us a lifetime but we can never have enough support, encouragement, and love in our lives. I don't know what I would do without the people who cheer me on and accept me. Don't deny yourself that pleasure.

Everyone deserves a life full of aching cheeks from smiles that are too wide and full hearts that are ready to burst.

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.
