Hahahahahahaha that's so cute.. I'm a muslim as well and I guess if I was ever in this kind of situation I wouldn't be brave enough to speak up .. Your friend is inspirational, and so are you <3
Well I'm not sure if you've watched these or not but yeah .. Dear John, The Notebook, A Walk to Remember or you can just go to IMDB and google chick flicks and check out some new romance movies :D
The crying over onions part? No. It's perfectly normal haha. Try chewing on something or cutting them under runnin water. The being in the kitchen part? Stillno. i'm actually proud of you (Even tho I don't know you haha) that you stepped in to help your mom out, I wish more guys would do that coz it doesn't make you less of a man, on the contrary, it shows what a caring and considerate perosn you are ..and come on what's hotter than a guy in the kitchen? :D lmao
I'm going on second year of college now and I'm in the welcome committee.. Believe me some people are actually decent around here.. Just be yourself, and you'll meet tons of new people. Grasp chances for socialzing as much as you can, having connections in college is really important. Volunteer for whatever you find interesting, it adds a lot to your credit as well.. Omg I sound like a college professor ;o but seriously, I hope you have the best years of your life <333
Please keep in touch with me, and talk to me anytime <33
