Why I Got Back With My Ex

Sometimes you find your way back.

Rarely do people take back their exes. And normally I would never do that. This statement is not crapping on any of my exes at all, mostly because they are great guys. I'd never hate on them.

But this person, in particular, came into my life suddenly, aka we kissed at a dance. The relationship was kind of random and spawned from us finding an instant connection in two short hours. So, a few months later when I broke it off, it still sucked.

Luckily, we were able to be friends and grew closer than we had been those few months together. At that point, I never thought we would get back together. You know when someone is like your brother? Yeah. That is how I considered it.

Then he left school for the semester to join up so he could pay for college, and we missed him a lot. And, yes, I know he might read this. I just don't want to get it wrong.

Anyway, all of us stayed in touch and the day he could return would be great. It was just hard not having one of my best friends at school.

Did we discuss dating again initially? Not really. It was more on how I studied so much I would kill myself and so on. Apparently, I'm too into it, go figure.

But when he and I finally discussed the topic it didn't feel weird. There was still something there that had never faded. And everyone else seemed to notice it too.

Do I recommend this is for everyone? Heck no! There can be some scummy people out there that do not deserve second chances. But I got lucky. We respect each other, care, and know how to annoy.

I'm glad to have him back, even if I'm not sure where we started back from.

Will it be difficult if he gets deployed somewhere? Absolutely. But I'm proud of him, and he works extremely hard. Whatever happens, he's someone I want in my life.

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.
