To The Girl Who Loves Him Next

To the girl who loves him next:


You'll probably do what I did.

You'll get in too deep, feel too much, and move too fast.

You'll skip getting to know his mind so you can fall into his soul, so you can memorize how you fit into him.

So just know this:

His favorite color is green, like the way trees look when you're young.

He'll never be able to pick a favorite movie, but he will admit to liking "Tangled" -- even though he couldn't love the blonde haired, green-eyed mess that was in front of him.

He loves the short film "Paperman," because he loves black and white films, because he's nothing close to black and white.

He wishes he could fly, and he says it's to avoid traffic, but his soul can get so heavy I think he just wants to get up off the ground.

He doesn't laugh much, and I never fulfilled my promise of getting him to do so. It's up to you now.

It's up to you to show him that love isn't an act, it's not a part he can play. I tried to show him, but by the time I found him he was already in the middle of a show.

It's up to you to heal him, because that show ended and she hurt him and I was there to make sure he ate, and got out of bed, and had someone to hold him.

It's up to you to be his light. Tell him he's loved, tell him he deserves the best. Because I told him until my voice gave way and he stopped listening.

He won't listen to me anymore. So it's up to you.

If you can make him laugh... If you can show him real, honest love... If you can be his light... don't let him go.

To the girl who loves him next:

Make him yours.

I don't want you to write like me. I don't want you to have to write about him at all.

Sincerely,
The girl who is trying her best not to love him anymore.

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.
