​An Open Letter To The Person Who Didn’t Treat Me The Way I Deserved

We could have been just friends, we could have shared a little more, or you could have been my whole world and then some, but here’s a letter to you: the person who treated me less than I deserve.

I’m not sure where we went wrong, where things may have taken a turn for the worse, but they did and ever since then I have been thoroughly changed.

Until you came along, I never realized what it would be like to be treated any differently. Until you I didn’t realize what I should have been looking for in a friend, a lover or even a person. Before you, I thought being ignored, laughed at, lied to, forgotten, belittled was all a normal thing, something everyone was put through. But in reality that was all just a figure of imagination. After you, I realize that I deserved better. I needed more from a relationship.

Sad to say, but you may not understand the way you treated me, the way you made me feel on your off days or when you didn’t want to deal with someone like me. Sad to say, but you may look at my expectations as something to be laughed at when in reality; you would never understand this end of the spectrum. The side full of low expectations while you give everyone else the world.

I am sorry that I no longer accept the way you treat me, and I’m sorry you will never understand the pain you put people through. I thank you, however; for helping me realize what I need in a person and the type of people I want by my side through this crazy life. I thank you for all you have unknowingly taught me through the relationship we have shared.

I appreciate you, despite our parting. I wish you the best and I hope you are learning.

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.
