To the couple tired of saying goodbye,

Goodbyes are hard. Very hard. All you want is to stay in their arms forever and never let them go. Goodbyes are a frequent part of long-distance relationships. Not being able to see the person you care for and love so much every day is a challenge and can put your relationship to the test. But no matter how hard it can get, it is always nice having that person in your life. Just as Pooh Bear said, "How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." Having that person in your life, no matter how far away they may be, is a huge blessing.

It can get exhausting to be stuck in a cycle of hellos and goodbyes and only seeing each other for a short time. Long-distance relationships take a lot of work and effort. But every day that goes by that you are apart, it just means one more day closer to being together, no matter how long the time in between. Being in a long-distance relationship myself, there have been many times when I wish I could just hug my boyfriend or he could come comfort me when I'm sad, but most of the time it unfortunately doesn't work that way. Even though we are far away, I wouldn't want it any other way. It has strengthened our relationship in ways that a normal relationship can't be.

Think of your relationship before it became long distance. Was your communication as good as it is now? Did you cherish the time you spent together when you were actually with each other? Did you think of how blessed you are to have this person in your life? Be honest. Chances are, your relationship is a lot stronger because of the distance. Now, I know that not every LDR works out, but for the ones that do, it is because they worked for it and wanted it because the two people loved each other enough to do it.

It seems to me like each goodbye gets harder and harder because of how often we have to do it. But after the initial tears and sadness subside, I am grateful for the time we got to spend with each other, and I remember that we are two very strong people and we can get through the time away from each other because we have done it before. If your relationship is strong enough to keep having goodbyes, be thankful for them. You are one goodbye closer to never having to say it again. One day you will get to be with them without having to be apart. Look forward to that day. I know I do and it makes everything worth it. Knowing that there will eventually be an end to the goodbyes makes it a wee bit easier to get through. So, to the couple tired of saying goodbye, I hear you, I understand you, and I wish it were easier for all of us. But one thing is for certain, I sure am grateful that I have something that makes saying goodbye so difficult. I hope you are too.

Sincerely,

A girl just as tired of saying goodbye

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.
