Someone who wants more out of love

To All The Hopeless Romantics Out There

Hopeless romantic is such an overused adjective. When I hear those two words, I think of someone who is ready for something more from a relationship. Ready for something that makes them not want to sleep at night because not talking to them is a lot worse than losing sleep. Which I feel, is a lot of people in this world. We live in a world where it is easier to go to bed with someone than commit your time to them, which is so sad. Where did all the hopeless romantics go?

Growing up, I was always told to do something you love and have passion in it, which is something I bring to the table in relationships. I know for a fact a lot of people were told those same things, but have grown to be scared of such a beautiful thing; love. Love is something to be proud of, to indulge yourself in the wonderful feelings, and to treat each other the way they deserve. Love, by any means, is something you should not try to avoid or to be scared of. Love is something your heart craves.

We live in a world where seeing someone once or twice is a lot easier than every committing yourself to them. Where dates because less frequent, and “Netflix and chill” become the go-to. Relationships need to go back to the cute dates, meeting the parents, and opening the doors for them.

Hopeless romantics try to find someone who sees eye-to-eye with the word love and how it is meant to feel inside. They put themselves out there, over and over again, for people who just want to be friends. But in the world we live in, us hopeless romantics are either dropped for another girl or guy, left hanging, or just completely ignored. Being that girl or guy that someone does not want because you want more out of them, really does stink. Telling someone you want something more and serious really does scare most people away.

So, in all honesty, scare all the guys and girls you can away by wanting more because one day, the right guy or girl for you will come around. Not all people are scared of commitment and want all the same things you do. Do not be afraid of rejection, as it teaches you how to cope and how to move on. Not being what someone else wants is a normal part of life and learning how to deal with that will bring along the right guy or girl for you. Don’t worry, a hopeless romantic will come along for you too when you’re least expecting it.

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.
