Letters To All The Boys I've Loved Before

Letters to all of my past loves.

To My First Love

I love you, but I will never forget how you hurt me so badly. Nothing has knocked me off my feet quite like you in the worst and most wonderful ways. My first love, worst love, but favorite love.

The memories are so vivid. Those were really some of the best and worst days of my life. I wake up some days still in love with you but a majority of the days I wake up in love with myself. I still have dreams about you, but there are also nightmares.

Letting you go was one of the best things I've ever done but also one of the hardest. You never stop loving someone, you just learn to live without them.

I look for you in every person. Somehow I have always chased the feeling of you but I could never chase you again. You're just a reminder of the love I hope to feel once more along with the pain I hope I never have to experience again.

To The Person Who Made Me Love Again

I love you, but things are complicated. I learned things a little too late and so did you. Timing was never on our side.

You taught me how to love again. You showed me what true love could be like. But, we have different ideas of what love means. We have different ideas of what life means. In fact, we have different ideas of what everything means.

You loved me when I didn't love myself. You loved me when I wasn't very lovable at all. I know now that everything happens for a reason. I'm glad I met someone like you, even if it was just for a lesson.

To My Best Friend

I love you, but I won't let myself hurt you.

You are my person in every single way. We have the same heart. I love you so much that I couldn't risk the possibility of losing you.

It was so hard for me to accept that, yes we are soulmates, but not in the way that either of us wanted to be. Right person, wrong time. Or maybe "wrong time" just means the wrong person.

I won't let myself make the same mistakes again. I want you to receive all the love you deserve and I know you wouldn't be getting that from me anytime soon. For all the times I've been burned, I refuse to burn you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
