To The Guy Who Didn't Want Me Back

To put it simply, you were the one who got away.

To put it simply, I guess you were the one that got away.

I wanted you, you wanted me, but we never wanted each other at the same time. We were never in the same time frame. And finally, when I thought we had managed to land in the same one, you went and jumped ahead.

I was confused and hurt, and some days I still am.

That's okay though because I'm moving forward.

For the last few years, I've watched as you bounced around from girl to girl, but never to me. My mom always said it was because I intimidated you. My best friend always said I was better off without you anyways.

I didn't care though because when we talked I could still feel that spark.

So I pined and I pined and I pined.

I got mad the way teenage girls do and I questioned everything about myself. From my looks to my smarts and even the way I talk, I questioned everything about myself. Why wasn't I good enough for you? Why did you never choose me? What was wrong with me? How could I have gotten so attached and you not even know? Or care?

Even when I was dating someone else or talking to someone new, you were a shadow in the back of my mind. You controlled my life by no means, but you were a thought often.

Even now, you cross my mind when I least expect it or want you to. But that's okay I realized.

I am okay.

I am normal.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my looks, or my smarts, or the way I talk. There is nothing wrong with me, and there is nothing wrong with you. I am a firm believer in that most things happen for a reason, including timing.

Some people are just never in the same time frames.

I believe that right now, we are those people. So I hope you're doing good. I hope college is treating you well and that things are working out. I hope you catch green lights when you drive and that you always find the shortest line in the grocery store.

Because someday, who knows.

We could see each other while pumping gas or ordering food five years from now and it could be magic. Someday, somehow maybe we'll be in the same time frames at the same place.

Life is a mystery, and you never know what will happen next.

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.
