Dear Someone Special,

I feel like the first thing I should say is I love you because I do. There is no doubt about that. I know I may say it a lot and bet you’re tired of hearing it. I simply don’t want you to go a day feeling unloved or questioning my feelings for you. There is still a list of things left unsaid that should be told, so pull up a chair and take a seat because it’s time I lay it all out.

First thing’s first, let me assure you that I know I am difficult. I always know what I want, even if I say I don’t. I just don’t always tell you because I don’t want to sound demanding. I can tell you get aggravated with my passiveness at times and I’m sorry. Right now, for one night and one night only, I will tell you the one thing I always want. I always want to see you trying. I want to be able to see you care about the actions you do. This doesn’t mean you have to stand outside my house with a boombox over your head blasting Peter Gabriel’s “In Your Eyes” like in "Say Anything." I mean, that would be cool, but I don’t even know if they make boomboxes anymore and holding a cell phone playing “Sorry” by Justin Bieber doesn’t have the same effect. Through simple and easy actions, I want to see you care.

Second, I know the relationship between the two of us isn’t always perfect. We have rough patches. We have fights. At least once I have hurt you and you have hurt me, but here we are, continuing to move on. I know we both have cracks, but we’re the only ones who can fill each other’s in. People may talk and say that we are no good for each other due to the issues we have, but little do they know that we are not good for anyone else. Stay with me through it all and I promise we will be invincible, even when were 85 and watching "Jeopardy."

Lastly, thank you. Thank you for being so many things to me, including my best friend. You are the first person I contact when I have random thoughts about evolution in the middle of the day. When it’s 3 a.m. and I can’t sleep, I will always contact you because I know you’ll answer. Thank you for always taking care of me when I am ill and for helping rectify my mistakes when I have done wrong. Know I think the world of you because you mean the world to me.

-- Your Special Someone

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.
