What Would Your Last Words Be?

If this was the last time to talk to "the one," what would you say?

What Would Your Last Words Be?
Alex Kreikemeier

I was recently on Quora, a social platform very similar to that of Reddit. Basically there are endless questions along with their endless answers. There was a specific question I had seen on one of my recent visits to the site. It went something along the lines of: "What would you say to the one you love if it was the last time you would talk to this person?"

I was a bit like, "oh, that's easy." But then I realized how deep that was, and it wasn't super specific either. Like, could it only one thing? Or could I tell the person I love everything? Was this "the one" I love supposed to be my significant other, or perhaps someone else?

Unsure, I took it as I would say this one last thing to my significant other. So I began to think of what I would tell my fiancé. In the end, I think it would go a lot like this (but of course with gushing tears and kisses):

I know I have told you this many times, but I love you. I can't imagine loving anyone else so much, who also loves me the way you do. There would probably never be one as patient with me when I freak out during my time of the month, or who would run to Walmart when I'm craving Cookies 'N Cream ice cream. No one would probably do as many late night runs to Taco Johns or Wendy's with me that you have...or will.

No one else would get my humor as much as you do. You are just the right amount of serious and humorous. You may be on a constant loop of sarcastic comments, but you know when to pause to just take a moment and listen to me. That's something that I try my best to do back to you, but I'm sure I fail miserably. And then we laugh at my failures together (because I'm a klutz and a bit of a ditz), while also trying to help each other succeed.

You get me to live my dreams, but you never push me too hard. If I want something, you help me work up the courage to go after it. Then, when I'm feeling stressed about it, you know just the right thing to say to me to ensure that I don't give up on anything that I love. Sometimes, your advice is just: skip class and take a nap or watch Netflix. You tell me it's good to think about myself, too.

You make me feel beautiful. When I'm feeling particularly "fat," you'll just love me and tell me that I will always be a 10. You compliment me no matter what I wear. A beautiful summer dress? I look stunning. Sweats and an oversize t-shirt? I look gorgeous. I never have to feel like I'm not wanted when I'm with you. You prove how much you want me every day.

If these were the last words I would ever say to you, I would apologize to you for every time I hurt you. For every time I made you angry or made you cry. I'm sorry for making you worry so much. I would also want you to know that you have made me so happy, and I don't regret a single moment with you. And the best part of being with you is that we just "get" each other. We always have, right from the beginning. You are my best friend. I love you so much.

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.

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.
