To the person I've been able to call mine since August 7, 2015:

You liked me right away when we meant in March of 2015, but I had a boyfriend at the time. However, that didn't stop you, you were there for me in every way a true friend should be. You were there to clean up every little piece of a broken me when I broke up with Alex.

I had gotten into a big fight with Alex, and I thought about breaking up with him since we've been having problems, but I didn't know if I should, or even if I could. That following weekend we were both going on Stubienville. (A Catholic Youth Conference) I remember that the second day of the conference, it was a really hot day and the sun was shining right on us. It was July 18, 2015. I was upset going to confession, as my relationship was on my mind. Finally, it was our turn for confession, you went in first then I did.

Later, we were both in the chapel praying our pence. After so long, you left the room and I stayed, I was done with my pence, but I started praying about my relationship. I was praying about my relationship, I wanted to do what God wanted of me.

God soon answered my prayer by giving me a vision of you. I was getting the message loud and clear, it was you I was meant to be with. God wanted me to enter a dating relationship with my best friend. We started dating on August 7 of 2015.

Our relationship was so joyful at the beginning, as it still is. In the beginning of 2016, our relationship hit a milestone, we had our first fight and we were no longer in the honeymoon phase.

The fight got ugly real fast, but we were in love so we were able to overcome it.

After our fight was done, you made one of those little comments. You know, the annoying little comments that I hate but secretly love and make me fall deeper in love with you.

Those little annoying comments that I normally roll my eyes at but then smile afterward. Yeah, those comments. This set the pattern for any of the future fights we've had. The pattern of falling deeper in love after a fight, something I didn't know was possible until you came along.

We've been through a lot lately, more downs than ups. Here's the thing, however, love will get us through, as it has in the past. Specifically, when your grandpa died. When you told me the news, I didn`t know how to react and you became my top priority.

I wanted to comfort you in any way possible. You make me a more supportive and caring person. I couldn't stand to see you hurting, especially because I didn't know how much you were.

Just over 11 months later my grandma died. I was told by my mom on Monday of that week she was going to die very soon, so there was a lot of sorrow that week for me.

It was February 18, 2017, and we were both at a speech meet. I remember being in the gym of a small class D high school, it was 10:11 A.M. and I checked my phone and she was gone. Of course, I started crying, but you were there for me, and you continued to be in the future.

When I was in doubt about the future after one of our bigger fights, I was upset. You asked me what was wrong and I replied with the question, "can we really make it?". Your response was nothing but a song title and artist. "Only One ~NF". I then listened to the song and knew exactly how you felt and that doubt went away.

You always know exactly what to say.

Dustin, you make me a better person and I love you so much. I don't know who I would be without you. You've given up so much just for me. You've supported me through so much.

I know when I go to boot camp, we'll come back stronger than ever. I know we can make it. Thank you so much for being such an amazing person that I am in complete awe of.

Thank you for pushing me to go the extra mile, always. Thank you for pushing doubts away no matter how stupid they are. Thank you for making my faith in God even greater than it was the day before. Thank you for being you.

I am so in love with 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.
