To the Boy Who Never Gave Me a Chance

To the Boy Who Never Gave Me a Chance

I could have loved a boy like you, but you never gave me the chance. It was nice while it lasted, which was not very long. You did not get the chance to see me, the real me. You saw someone struggling with all the aspects of the world around her. Struggling in school, struggling with family, and struggling to figure out who she really wanted to be. You said you would be there on the bad days and the good. I should have known that was a lie, but I believed such sweet words anyway. I believed that maybe I had found someone to bring happiness back into my life. I believed that I had found someone to be there when the struggling became too much to handle. I believed that I had found something to believe in again. You made a liar out of me and little did I know then that I would just struggle even more when you left. I used to wear your sweatshirt, but you will never guess why. I wore it to sleep in at night because it gave me some sort of hope. If someone like you would even turn your head at someone like me, then maybe I was not as bad as I thought. "Maybe there are greater things ahead," I told myself before I fell asleep at night. It gave me hope that one day the struggles would fade. It gave me hope that I could be apart of something amazing, again. It gave me hope that love was out there for me. All that hope was another lie. It left just as easy as you did. There were times I tried to rekindle what was left of us. I was left out to dry, along with all my hope. I will no longer make that mistake. It is a shame you only saw me when I was struggling. It is a real shame because you never saw the good parts of me, the parts that you would have loved.

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.
