To The Father That Told One Too Many Lies

To The Father That Told One Too Many Lies

“I promise”

Two words, I was told to only say if I meant them or if I would keep my word. I was that little girl raised to believe her “daddy.”

“You’re my #1”

“I love you”

“Even when he comes, you’ll still be my best friend”

All lies i listened too and went by everyday, why tell your “little girl” that if the next day it’s gone. You were my hero, best friend, and daddy. My heart was broken, you always said whoever broke my heart would never want to see you. Little did anybody know, you would be one to break my heart. I have had my heart broken by boys, of all those brakes yours was the worse. You were to be the boy in my life to stay in my life, and love me until the very end. I was wrong, we all were, I am ashamed to say I fell for the lies, but I am done, mom is done, we are all done. Good luck finding more who will love you, even when you leave them in the dirt. You find other girls every weekend, but don’t forget you had a family that wanted you. You once we’re my daddy, now you’re just another figure to enter and leave my life. You were just another temporary spot holder.

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.
