I am trying my best to trust you.

Everything could be going fine, if not great, and I will still overthink it. I will overthink things that could be meaningless. I could overthink random possibilities that may never happen.

I will get nervous. I will get anxious. These are both uncontrollable.

There is no stopping it besides giving me endless support. It takes me a while to be able to establish trust with anyone. If you want me to trust you, you are going to have to earn it.

As a girl that continues to overthink, I find it absolutely exhausting to trust someone who is undeserving.

Be patient with me. I am going to feel sad and frustrated. I am going to get uncomfortable and quiet. Random statements will make me feel out of control and will immediately cause a pit in my stomach. I will easily shut down and lose confidence.

I will oftentimes come off as though I am emotional and sensitive. I would say this is slightly true, mainly due to the fact that my emotions go hand-in-hand with my constant overthinking.

If you really care about me, though, please understand it will take time for me to get comfortable around you.

I know it might be a lot to ask, and I may sound annoying or repetitive, but please bear with me.

I will try my best to help you understand, but there is only so much I can do. I will continue to overthink overtime, but I am working on extinguishing my doubts.

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.
