How I Know You Love Me

The little things in my life that have made all the difference

How I Know You Love Me
Knowledge Overflow

It's the little moments that stay with me when I can't find anywhere to turn. Impeding each other down a hallway in a silly race on toy cars. Laughing at jokes that only you and I can understand. And most of all, I guess, you tell me so, because you know I could forget.

It's the moments when you made me feel brave with nothing but a word, when so many others have made me feel small for taking me at my word. Its for talking to me like an equal when I've always looked up to you. And for those moments when you tell me I've done well because you know I need reminding.

It's those moments when you've held me even when others could see. For telling me I'm clever when I've long forgotten so. Through thick or thin, cold or breathlessness, I hold a place in your heart, and somehow, I know I'm always welcome there.

It's the little things. Others have tried gestures of grand repute that hammer me beneath the soil, but you are blessed by God above with words, smiles, and purest love that shine through when you look at me. That is how I know you love me. Because somehow, you can see me every time.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
