Dear Crush... I Still Like You
Orland Batongbakal

Dear Crush,

Yes, I'm talking to you, girl!

I know we haven't met face-to-face yet, but that is fine for now.

You probably didn't know I even exist.

We live hundreds of miles apart from each other but that doesn't stop me from admiring you.

I know that you are with someone at this time and that might be a discouraging fact for me, but my admiration for you doesn't change.


I admire you so much because...

… you're beautiful. You really are beauty queen material.

… I deeply believe that along with your outer beauty comes your inner beauty and kind heart.

… I believe you love your family very much. I know you are a good sister to your siblings. I also know you are a good aunt to your nieces. I can see how you deeply love them as if they are your own.

… I believe you're also smart and hardworking. And I need that kind of influence to rub off on me.

… I believe you have a good, strong and healthy relationship with your friends. I need that kind of friendship myself.

… you seem to be a physically fit person. Well, look at me, I greatly need that kind of person like you to be my friend.


I just want to let you know that...

… I exist.

… I care deeply about your likes and dislikes, what you do for fun, what kind of beliefs in life you have even though we haven't met yet in person and you are already have someone.

… I always want to compliment you about your looks and achievements. I want to sympathize with all your struggles that you face everyday.

… you can count on me for everything that you might need. I can be a shoulder to cry on, be someone to laugh and cry with, be a good friend when you get to know me.

... I really like you so much!


Don't worry about me pursuing you closely, I respect your relationship with your man.

If I had learned something from my heartbreaks, it is that I shouldn't expect something highly from someone I admire. Expecting too much just leads to a broken heart, an abused spirit, and a troubled mind.

All I can do is admire you from afar, pray you know I exist, and hope that one day we could at least be close friends! All I can do is to follow your life through the social media and be satisfied that we are acquainted this time.

I hope you find what you wanted and needed in your life. You will be in my thoughts and my prayers, you and your entire family in this your great time of need.

I hope you would find this letter in good condition and not be upset on what I had said here.


That would be all. I really hope we can cross paths, speak with each other soon, get to know each other, connect on many aspects, and have a lasting friendship wherever we end up. Remember, you are beautiful inside and out.


Sincerely,

Your not-so-secret admirer.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
