To The Girl That Saved My Heart

I've waited a long time to tell you.

56
To The Girl That Saved My Heart
Michael Dover Jr.

I wish I could explain all the wonderful things you do for me in such a short letter. Things that aren’t seen by the naked eye. Things that on the surface, and even deep down, can’t be simply explained. I was heartbroken, lost, and about done until the day I looked you right in the face. You didn’t know it then, but for the next ten months, you kept me going, and gave me hope for the future I’d always dreamed of.

Fast forward a year and I’m more crazy about you than ever. The only difference is that now I call you mine. You were there for the bad nights. You were there for the times I almost went way off the deep end. You were there to watch me cry. Somehow, someway, you still accepted all of this and said that you’d love nothing more than call me yours as well. You finished the words that I had trouble saying, and from then on you have taken my heart with you wherever you have gone.

It’s a struggle, I know, sometimes to deal with me. To calm me through the anxiety, lift me up when I’m feeling down, listen to me talk about the years I wish I could forget. Yet, you haven’t left my side. You haven’t thrown in the towel. Instead, you’ve taken all of these flaws and turned them into something wonderful. You’ve taken a hard-headed, short fused, big hearted man and used them as lessons in life and love. I never thought it was possible for the racing thoughts that roll through my head to be accepted, and I never thought someone could love me more for having them.

In a few days, I’ll have to leave you again, and I know that it’ll be hard. Even before we became “us”, you were my best friend, and it hurts to not be able to at least hear your voice and see your face once a day. But, I know it’ll all be worth it. I know that each day when I wake up you’ll still be there, right by my side, fighting through the hours until we see each other again. I know that you’ll still love me and that I’ll still love you.

So my dear, thank you for saving my heart. Thank you for bringing me back from the darkest point that I have ever experienced. Thank you for believing in me, and for believing in us. I don’t doubt that at times it’ll be hard, but I know we will get through it all and always have each other. I know that you’ll continue to grow me as a man, and do anything it takes to continue on our journey together. Thank you for being you, and loving me for being me.

Love Always,

Darling

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.
