How You Know You Found The One

Finding the "one" has always been the big question on everyone's mind.

How You Know You Found The One
Zoe Neilson

"I feel like everything in my life has led me to you. My choices, my heartbreaks, my regrets. Everything. And when we're together, my past seems worth it. Because if I had done one thing differently, I might have never met you."

When you look back on your past, many see heartbreak, some see regrets, but I see both. The person I used to be wasn't who I really wanted to be. The person I know I'm supposed to be is the person I am when I'm with you. You make me a better person, you have shaped me into who I'm meant to be. I could never thank you enough for being my one and only.

I know I've found the one because I still get butterflies whenever you're around. Still, after seven months, you make them flutter in my stomach. My smiles are brighter and my laughs are stronger. The memories I've made with you are more than I've made in a lifetime. You're my other half, the peanut butter to my jelly, my missing puzzle piece.

I know you're my one and only because as broken as I am, you still see me with such light. You still see the best in me, when all I've shown is my worst. You are my light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel. Even though my past has had nothing but darkness, you always find the shimmering light within it. You are the light to my dark, my white to my black, and the ying to my yang.

I know I'll marry you one day because my future has never seemed brighter. You have given me hope on days I feared there was none. Given me strength and courage to keep going, when all I wanted to do was give up. Lifted me up and showed me that I do have a purpose. You are my rock, my Jiminy cricket, and my soul confidant.

I know you're him because my family adores you, and you in turn love them. As crazy as they are, you still lovingly accept every quirky thing about them. The heart you have is golden, and the love you give is everlasting. Thank you, for finding me and being my one.

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.
