after the rain comes the RAINBOW

Dear You,

You played me, you manipulated me, and you gave me a false sense of hope. You made me believe that you loved me and that you wanted to be with me always. You made me believe that we were forever. But, those, those were all lies. They were all lies for you to get inside my head and heart, all lies to help you get what you wanted, to help you make the past jealous. These were all things that, for so long, I was upset and angry with you for. But now, looking back, I couldn't be anymore grateful.

I'm so beyond grateful for all of those things plus more. I'm so grateful that you broke me, because in that brokenness I found my true self. I found the woman I was intended to be, the woman that God had planned for me to become. I grew in my relationship with Christ more in that brokenness than ever before and I have nothing but your ugliness to thank for that. I'm thankful for you treating me so terribly so that I could realize just how much I truly deserve! I knew God had always promised me someone amazing and your hurting me showed me just how much I actually deserved that amazing person.

I'm thankful for the fact that I now have the man God made for me and I am able to enjoy the little things about him that make him PERFECT for me. I'm thankful that because of the bad treatment i received from you I am now able to truly appreciate his sweet actions and kind words that he speaks to me. All the hurt and pain you caused, the aches that I thought I would or could never get over, all of this gave me the ability to be the perfect woman for him!

So thank you, thank you to the one who broke me for the last time. Thanks to you I am now able to appreciate the GREATEST blessing that God has given me so far. You made me able to most importantly love the one created for me without fault!


Thanks So Much,

The Girl Who Gained More From The Pain You Caused.

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.

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.
