An Open Letter To The Girl Who Dates My Ex
The Life Square

Hi,

I'm your boyfriends ex-girlfriend.

I'm sure I've come up or eventually will and I doubt you like me. I'm probably the last person you want to speak to, but I wanted to say hi and write this letter to you. I want you to know that despite the stories you may hear, I am a good person. Yes, I have made mistakes, but I am not a bad person, and I don't think we need to hate each other.

First of all, I wish you guys the best; I really do. I hope he makes you smile and that you make him laugh. I hope you appreciate all the hard work I put into him to make him a better person, and I hope he wears all his nicest clothes on dates with you and takes you to the nicest places. I hope you give him the love and support I never could and that he gives you the love and support that I am sure you deserve.

I'm not upset or angry, and I certainly don't hate you. That's just not me. I've moved on, and I'm glad he has too. He is by no means perfect. None of us are. You are going to have to be more patient than I ever could be. He looks at life differently, and maybe you do too, but if you don't, you will have to try because I never could.

He is a bit set in his ways so you might have to take some time to finish the job I started, but you also need to realize he may never change and you have to decide if you can accept that because unfortunately, I never could. He's going to need someone who can support his goals and dreams, gently remind him of all the things he forgets and be there when things get tough. I could not be that person, but I have faith that you can.

Relationships are not easy, but if you put in the work, it can be so rewarding. I wish you guys all the love in the world, and I hope you two can find the happiness we never could. Enjoy the good and work together to fix the bad. Be the person who helps him achieve his goals, was patient when needed and who loved him through the craziness. Be the person that I never could be; do all the things I could not.

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.
