An Open Letter to the Girls My (Ex)Boyfriend Cheated On Me With

My friends had told me from the get go that he was dirt, and of course I didn’t listen.

To the girl who didn’t care he was mine;

I’m not sure I’m ready to put this into words but I know if I don’t try I’ll continue regretting not putting into words what needs to be said. So, at least at the end of this, no matter how it ends, I can at least say I tried.

Whatever you think you know about me probably isn't true, because as we both know my ex is a liar. So, I will introduce myself first. I am 19, and I started dating my Ex in December 2013, just about 3 years ago. From what I understand, you didn’t know about that at the time you guys did the deed, so it's okay, I don't hold much against you. We both fell for a lying bastard, as far as I'm concerned.

When I confronted him about this, he told me that he didn't love you, that your relationship is built on just sex, and that he is not attached to you and only you are attached to him. I don't know the nature of your relationship, but I can hardly imagine that this would be a fair statement for you.

I also would like to say thank you, you set me free. Free of the lies, sleepless night, the constant worry, from the wondering of who he was with that night or any night for that matter, and from him. My friends had told me from the get go that he was dirt, and of course I didn’t listen. I just feel sorry for you, because it seems like no one told you soon enough. What’s sad is it took me flying 1,000 miles for you to find out about me, even though I was all over his social media. So maybe you did know and didn’t care. For my sanity I’m going to assume you did know.

On that note, you weren’t the only one. Just like all his other Florida girls, you were just a number, a day of the week, or just someone he knew he could get in bed. Maybe, he was just those things to you too. You should also know he asked both of us not to say anything to anyone, it’s not because he’s sorry it’s because he know this would ruin how his peers viewed him. Even you could have done better, I mean let’s get real. You knew better and you still continued to see him.

Whether we want to admit it or not, as girls we always dream about that one day when we find Mr. Right. Perhaps childhood friends, or that cute kid you met in chemistry class your sophomore year. Perhaps you meet him in your late twenties after landing your dream job in New York City. Interestingly enough, in all of the wonderful, hopeful, and promising love stories that we have all heard come true, not once has the beautiful girl fallen for the low-life, classless, loser who would cheat on his girlfriend.

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.
