My High School Sweetheart, There Is Hope

I still pray for you.

My High School Sweetheart, There Is Hope
Hannah Hinson

To my high school sweetheart,

I want you to know that after many months of heartbreak I am finally okay with how things ended. Sure, there are days where I miss you and I miss the memories of us and wishing that I could go back, but I soon realize that you were not made for me and I was not made for you. You see, once everything ended, I went through a very dark time in my life and God pulled me out. If it was not for you, I would not be where I am in my walk with God today. I have a much more intimate relationship with Christ and it may come off as offensive, but I am much better off without you, as you are much better off without me.

I had to really learn to heal myself before I could start my personal dreams and goals. Maybe I am still recovering from heartbreak, but I know that God has someone out there that was specifically made just for me.

God has a special woman created just for you. You will love her even more then you loved me because this time it will work out for you. I pray that you stand guarded so you can protect her with all of your will. I pray that you will make a great husband to whoever you end up with. One thing I know is that the two of us did come together in the beginning, but we are not each other's end.

I know I will be able to love again because first I loved God and He is the one who holds me every night when I feel alone. Please do not worry about me because God is working in another man's life to be able to handle mine. If I could make one request, I would ask you that when you see me or see pictures of me and whoever I end up with, do not feel jealousy. Why? Because I was not meant for you. I was not meant to make you happy.

What happened during our relationship will always be what I tell my future children when they ask me about my high school days. I will tell them how happy I was and how sad I was to see it end. You inspire me, even to this day, to chase after God. I will always thank you for everything you did for me in our time together.

If you ever need anything, I am always one message away. Please allow me to be your last resort though because I hope you turn to your future person, and more importantly, God. So, yes I still pray for you because that is what gives me peace at night knowing how badly things turned out.

Love,

Your high school sweetheart

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.
