An Open Letter To The Girl Who Always Put Me Down

You never even knew me.

An Open Letter To The Girl Who Always Put Me Down

Dear Mean Stranger,

I never really knew you. I never knew your life, or what you've been through, and you never knew me. But you insisted that my life was your business, making it your job to push my buttons. Why? I have no idea.

You used to get to me. You really made it hard to get your words out of my head, and for awhile, I didn't know how to deal with your unkind words. But, I didn't let that go on for long because you weren't worth the time.

You never were. How could I be that stupid? I'm laughing about it now as I write this. You weren't and aren't worth my energy, and I am happy to know that now.

You didn't know me, you never have and you pretended that you did. You liked it, you genuinely liked to put me down and beat me while I was down just for the "fun" of it.

Sometimes, I think it happened for a reason, and other times I just know I didn't provoke you, I never did anything but be nice and thoughtful towards you. But you couldn't reciprocate.

But I just have one thing to say to you now, I hope you're happy. I don't mean this in a sarcastic way, but in a way that I wish you the best. I hope that you found the happiness you were looking for and I hope that it was worth it. To me, you made me realize my self worth, and that I was worth more than what you decided to see.

Maybe one day I will see you again, and maybe you'll smile and say "hey," but maybe that's just too optimistic. I guess we will just have to see.

Until Then,

The Girl Who Outgrew Your Games

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
