An Open Letter To My Special Person

Do you even know how much you mean to me?

Let’s face it, everyone has that special person in life. Someone who isn’t a parents, grandparent or sibling – yet said person encourages you and believes in you in ways you could never believe in yourself. This person may be a lover or a friend. Maybe this person is a neighbor. Whoever this person is, one thing remains true – you love them. To my special person, this one is for you…

Hey you:

Look at us. Look how far we’ve come. Just think about how much further we still have to go together. I must admit, the path looks a lot brighter travelling it with you. In thinking back to the day we first met – the truth is, I never thought we could get so close. I’ve since told you many things about me that I refuse to tell others; such as my biggest fears and my secret dreams and ambitions. I've learned that no matter what these things are, they never get laughed at. It still baffles me that someone who isn’t family still finds me so fascinating-so interesting-and in my most raw state- so mesmerizing.

When I’m having a bad day or my mood swings are more than usual, you never seem fazed – you just hang on for the ride. Is that easy for you? Or do you choose to do this for me? Do you choose to do this for me the same way you choose to text me a good morning text every single morning? I’m sure being the way you are is just your personality. Just like seeing the good in every situation and when there seems to be no good, recognizing this and finding some good in it. I find it hard to see the good in all situations and see the best in people the way you do – but slowly, I am learning.

I am learning to accept myself for who I am. Sometimes I look in the mirror and only see flaws; but you’re changing this for me. I’m sorry that sometimes it’s so hard for me to see that not being perfect is just fine and it’s enough for you. You show me how to live life spontaneously when acceptable and I have to admit, running errands at 10:00 pm and being forced to go to Walmart because no other store is open just adds to the fun. You know what else I love? Late night scary movies at the theater or late night snacks on the couch while watching Impractical Jokers. Sometimes I wonder how we have so much fun just watching TV.

I have always wondered when you would come around. I searched many corners and found some dead ends along the way and when I finally did find you – I didn’t know you were going to be “my person.” The person I’d tell my whole life story to in a matter of time because I always found it hard to open up to people. I didn’t know that night when we had dinner at the diner that you were going to mean so much to me some day. Did you? Or did coming to love me grow gradually inside of you? Did our relationship flourish like a beautiful rose? Growing each and every time we watered it and withstanding every storm that passed its way?

Truth be told, I suppose it doesn’t really matter how we came to be, just that we did. It doesn’t matter how we met that day or whether the sky was a perfect shade of blue. All that matters is that you came around and you turned it all around. Every day we grow together and we learn more about each other as well as learn from each other. Please know if I had to do it all over again, and run into every dead end all over again…I would do it, because this chance to grow with you, is the greatest gift I could have ever received.

I love you, My Person

Love,

Me.

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.

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.

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.
