A Break-Up Letter To The Boy Who Already Broke Up With Me

To the boy who broke my heart,

Since our breakup, we've remained in contact, and we've been there for each other - not in despite of our past but because of it. I didn't think there was a reason to rid a person that I spent so much time loving. I love your humor. I love how childish and silly you can be. I love how independent you are. But I can't pretend that I love the way you've treated me. You've grown to be my best friend, but you and I know that'll never be all you are to me. After seeing you this past weekend, I realized I've always expected you to be more for me than what you could be. I relied and still rely on you for too much. It was easier for me to do whatever you wanted, whenever you wanted, because that made me feel like you still needed me. But you don't.

Today, I told you I couldn't see you anymore. Today, I made a decision that broke me even more than I already was, and I hope you understand it wasn't because I didn't value your friendship, it was because I'm too in love with you to keep hiding that. So starting today, there will be no more "just checking up on you;" there will be no more drunk dials, and there will be no more sleeping with each other just because you're lonely. I deserve better than that. You broke my heart the day you broke up with me because honestly, since the day I met you, I thought I would never have to date someone else. But I don't hate you for that. If it's not right for one person, then it's just simply not right. I will forever love you for who you are as a person, but I can't go another day loving someone who can't reciprocate that. I hope you have the happiest of days forever and that one day you will find a love that I found in you.

Love,

The girl who waited too long

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
