I Gained More Than Just A Friend From You

Why'd you put up with me

I Gained More Than Just A Friend From You
Favim.com

To the guy who put up with much more than he had to during his first year of college. Even though I was a year older than you, you never left me in the dark. You didn't need to care about what was going on in my life but some reason you did.

You understood what I was going through immediately after we met and took precedence in what I was doing and how I handled myself around others. You will never know, how much it meant for you to answer my late night texts, and then you would even come to sit with me after I had my panic attacks and ask if I wanted to talk about what was going on and if I didn't you respected just sitting there with me and giving me company. You made sure I was eating and sleeping when I was so stressed out at times from the classes, that I couldn’t even prioritize my own life. You dealt with having to sit up and having me cry all over your shoulder and most of those times I was crying. Most of the times I was crying was for no reason and just sat there hugging me, and reassured me that everything would get better. You never said I was over reacting, till I was done crying and had some kind of sugary snack in my hands and made me laugh about why I was crying. You took me out numerous times for late night meals to take my mind off the rest of the world. Those late nights were always the most memorable times even if I had been crying before hand.

I continuously tell you how much the time we spent together meant to me, and as each of our course loads gets heavier; I miss it a lot more. You will still never know how much that time really did mean. You were the one person I could always count on even at 4 am. You knew everything about me within a couple months, and back then I wouldn’t open up about myself to another living soul about what I had been going through. Thank you for always being the person I could count on even when you had better things to do those nights. Thank you for caring about me when I didn’t care enough about myself. Most of all thank you for all the great memories you gave me, even when I wasn’t having the best days and didn’t deserve to have you sitting with me at all.

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.
