If You Don't Care, This One Isn't For You

You say you care, but I know you don't.

You don’t care.

You say you do.

But —

You don’t.

I just want you to care. I want you to care about me and everything that “we” stand for. I want you to be as invested in “us” as I am, putting in 110%, but I guess that is too much to ask for. It is too much to ask for an ounce of effort.

I don’t want to hear “I'll try harder” again. It is an abandoned promise left on rerun like a lie that started white and turned to a darker shade of grey, eventually turning black.

Your lies are my pain. Your excuses and toxic personality suffocate me. And even worse, you're proud of yourself for this mind game you play on me. Truth is, I don’t love you anymore. I don’t love living in this imaginary relationship where I am pulling all the weight. I am the kind of person who thinks of life like a glass that is half full instead of being half empty although you make me feel half empty inside. I used to love you and myself…it's sad that I don’t love either anymore.

In this relationship, I over think. I care and sometimes I am led to believe that I care too much. Over time, we have become polar opposites, but maybe we were unknown opposites from the beginning. You tell me everything is fine. Every time. You manipulate me into believing that you truly are okay, but you’re not. You make me believe that we are happy, but the only person you are kidding is yourself.

I don’t get motion sickness, but being on this roller coaster that you call your emotions is a never ending sickness, more like illness, that I can’t shake until I learn to shake you.

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.
