Finding Your Soulmate At A Young Age Is A Blessing And A Curse

Finding your person when you're in your teens or early 20's seems like the best thing to happen to you, but in reality it can ruin the relationship.

Most teenagers in high school dream of finding their soulmate and wanting to find the person they're going to marry without realizing they have their whole lives ahead of them to find this person.

There's no rush to get married or have children, we live long lives and have more time than we realize to get these things in life accomplished. However, some people do find their soulmate at a young age and it can ruin the relationship finding them that young.

In your teenage years and early 20s, you're still a very emotionally immature person who hasn't figured out who "you" are. You're still finding yourself and coming to terms with young jealousy and pride. However, you think you're ready for this real, long love. But you're not. One of the saddest things in life is finding someone who you love unconditionally and who loves you back this way but you're both too emotionally immature and treat the other badly, whether that includes cheating or being toxic to them.

You don't realize the severity your actions have at that young age but as you get older you'll kick yourself for being like this.

Many people say to give these relationships "a break" and give each person time to mature and then reconnect the relationship but reconnecting the relationship could poison the person again. Being with that person you met when you were so young could bring back all those old, bad traits and make you a toxic, immature person and then you've both taken steps back in life and that relationship. Or you might get back together and you don't revert back to that unstable emotional place but you've both grown so much as people that you barely recognize the other person anymore and the connection is gone.

Sometimes, you just have to let them go.

Maybe a quarter of the couples who get together at a young age will stay together, through the growths and sorrows and tribulations that young love brings. It takes two very dedicated people to work through their problems and put their love first to make it. It's a lot of forgiving someone even if you want to just punch them and communicating effectively even when you just want to scream your heart out. It makes you emotionally grow up a lot faster than other people. You put this other person above all in your life and the reward can be so worth it.

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.
