Don't Think Your Freshman Year Boyfriend Was A Waste Of Time, Now You Know What You Really Want

Starting my freshman year, I would have never imaged looking for or finding a boyfriend. I went to school to prepare for my future and have some fun. Boy, did I get that wrong.

October hit, which means the cuffing season was upon us. I had met this boy on tinder... yes, tinder *rolls eyes* Sorry, Mom! We had hung out a few times, but he did not seem very interested. Of course, I was. Those rolls switched for a quick second and then all of the sudden, we were on the same page and dating.

I had been in relationships in high school but nothing as serious as this relationship. Towards the end of my freshman year, we basically were living together in a dorm room and did everything together.

At the time, I thought the relationships great and that we would spend forever together. Looking back, I was completely wrong.

After being out of the relationship for a while now, I know that I am in a much better place.

Having a best friend and a significant other all in one is great. Looking at my parents, I have always wanted that in my life. I had that with my freshman boyfriend. Except, there was one thing wrong. I got rid of the rest of my friends, slowly.

Having that freshman year boyfriend really prepared me for the next step... looking for my future. This last relationship has made me become comfortable with who I am as a person and what I need in a significant other. I thank that guy for being in my life and showing me what I thought I need but really teaching me what I actually needed.

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.

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.
