You may have had my heart then, but he has my heart for the long run.

To The Boy I thought I'd spend forever with, i found my forever man

Nearly three years ago, I made the decision to end things. While I was still madly in love with you at the time, I could see clearly that the feeling was no longer mutual. The relationship we had was the first time I had loved someone deeply and felt I had a future with them. We were always talking about our goals, we had all the time in the world and thought we'd be happy forever.

But something changed.

You were no longer in it. You grew distant and I could see it in your eyes that something had changed. I knew I had to cut things off.

Instead of cursing you for the pain caused, I grew from it. I remembered the good times we had and that it wasn't your choice to fall out of love with me. Thankfully to you and a mistake rebound made after, I was able to find, who I believe, is my forever man.

You had all the qualities I was looking for, at the time. But he has the qualities that I want and the onesI didn't know I needed.

It wasn't until I met him that I realized, you weren't the best thing to ever happen to me. You were a glimpse of what I deserved. He is the whole package.

We had our fun, but there were always doubtful moments of jealousy and suspicion. We were both still young and naive. We loved each other for the time being and I truly believe we both learned a lot about ourselves in the time we were dating.

While you were the boy I thought I'd spend forever with, I truly believe I have found the man that I'm meant to be with. He cares for me as I care for him, both mentally and physically. I think that's what I needed all along.

In relationships, you should help care for one another. And while you did take care of me (checking on me when I was sick, always offering a lending hand), he takes care of me mentally in a way you couldn't do. That's not your fault, you were never exposed to someone that needed that kind of caring before, so you weren't sure how to handle it.

He knows how to care for me mentally, in a way that even I didn't know I needed. You should always be with someone who pushes you to be better than you were the day before, every day. He does that and more. If i'm down, he doesn't just comfort me with love, he also tries to dig deep to find a solution to the problem.

He is always looking for a permanent solution to any problem we face, other than finding a temporary one to push it off till later.

And I see you're happy now, with the girl I knew you'd run to. That makes me happier than I'm sure you'd expect it to. All I ever wanted was for you to be happy. I knew you weren't happy with me anymore but didn't want to hurt me like the rest had done prior.

I hope you know that I'm at my happiest now and no longer wonder what could've been. We have both grown up to do incredible things and I believe we've have found our forever people. I'm thankful for the lessons you taught me and I do believe in some way you helped steer me into the arms of the man I now love. Thank you, boy I thought I'd spend forever with, I found my forever man.

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.
