It's Okay To Give Second Chances

During my second semester of freshman year, I met a guy and we connected right away. We talked and hung out all the time. The day came where he decided to ignore me. He did not give me any explanation why he stopped talking to me. I was heart- broken. He was the first guy I had such a deep connection with. I was depressed for some time and then realized that I am okay without him. I just need to stay positive and the more positive I was, each day got easier and easier to attack and to move on from this boy.

One month later I finally got over him fully and I was living my life and I was back to normal and not so upset all the time. But then he messaged me, telling me that he missed me. The fact that he said he missed me, made me realized that I missed him and I wanted him back into my life. I fell for his trap. He played with my emotions. We talked every day for three days and then what happened he started to ignore me again.

When this happened, I knew who my true friends were. They were there for me every step of the way. As much as my friends were trying to help me get over him I just couldn’t. I realized that I really liked him and nothing I did I could not stop thinking about him.

About three months later, I was going through his town and I wanted to see if he would talk to me. I put on my snap story a picture of his geotag and he hit me up. I could not tell you how happy this made me. He was like your literally right near my house. I had no idea that I was that close. I just knew I was in his town.

Ever since the day I was near his town we talked every day and we still do. Some days, are not perfect and we fight here and there. My friends say that even though I gave him a second change and he blew it I should have left it at that and never talked to him again.

This is the third time I am talking to this guy and I think 3 times the charm. So far there has only been good things coming out of this. I know most people say guys should not get second or even third chances but some guys do change. I definitely agree to this because he not only changed my life, but I learned things about myself I never knew.

Sometimes you just have to make a decision for yourself. It can be a good decision or a bad one. I went with my gut feeling and decided to talk to him. And I couldn’t be happier. Some people say guys are worth it and yes I did learn that they aren’t, but the way I feel when I am around this guy makes me feel so different and it is in a good way.

So for you girls out there not sure what to do you sometimes just have to go with your gut feeling and not listen to your friends because that is what I did.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
