To The Friend Who Broke My Heart

Sometimes, girls can break your heart more effortlessly than a guy.

To The Friend Who Broke My Heart
Kristopher Roller

In life, you expect the cute boy with perfect hair to break your heart, but that’s not always the case. Sometimes, girls can break your heart more effortlessly than the guy who you’re lusting over. The hardest part about your best friend breaking your heart is that she’s not there to help piece it back together.

At first, you think, “It’s just an argument, we’ll be friends again by tomorrow.” Then, you realize that you’ve reached your breaking point. The constant cycle of being on good terms and bad terms with your bestie begins to stabilize with the bad and, eventually, there’s hardly any good. The friendship turns into this toxic relationship and the only type of happiness that you get from it is from the past.

When you've done everything that you possibly could to keep the friendship going, you should be OK with it ending. You no longer have to compromise your happiness for the friendship. All that you can think about now is who you are going to get lunch with tomorrow. Who are you going to binge watch Netflix with? Most of all, who are you going to have as your best friend? All of these questions have the same answer. It's you. You can get lunch with yourself, you can binge watch a series alone, and you need to be your own best friend.

Often, we lose ourselves within our friends. Trying new things is never a bad thing, but when you’re forgetting the roots of who you are in order to be friends with someone, it’s not worth the companionship. This is the process of remembering who you were before you tried to impress someone else. You can grow from the friendship that went sour and know that you aren’t dependent on someone else for your identity. This is the time to reacquaint yourself with who you are.

To the friend who broke my heart, thank you for helping me find who I need to be.

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.
