The Things That I Always Forget to Tell You

A Letter to My Boyfriend

"I didn't know that one small kindness would soon turn into something more".

Dear Boyfriend,

Although we have only been together a short time, I feel like we have known each other forever. From the first time I said "hello" to you, I knew that we were going to be great friends. At the time, I had my eye on someone else......you did too. We had known each other indirectly for three or four years, never once actually hanging out with each other. I assume that that is why we never truly connected with each other at first. Maybe we just weren't ready for each other.....I guess we will never fully know.

Despite not talking to each other for an extended amount of time after you graduated from high school, we somehow found a way to pick up from where we left off when we finally started talking again during the summer. I still remember you talking about cars and bragging that you were "at Disney and I wasn't." (I even remember doing the same thing to you when I went to Disney a week after you came home!) Despite not ever seeing each other that whole summer, we talked all the time...until you had to go back to college that is. Then it happened again...we lost contact with each other. I never told you this, but my life was pretty empty without your comedic influences to brighten my day. However, my life went on.

Another year or two passed without talking to you. Although things seemed to be stable in my life, everything was about to be turned upside down. When your 21st birthday came around, I needed to conform to society and say "Happy Birthday" to you on social media.......I didn't know that one small kindness would soon turn into something more. I had been unavailable at the time, but I would soon realize that God was telling me that he was not the one for me. For months, I had been praying to God to send me someone (In His timing) who wouldn't put me down for being myself...... someone who would accept my obsessive love of al things Disney, my obvious love of superheroes, and my overwhelming love of sparkly objects. Then you came along and completely swept me off my feet. You completely understood me when it came to spilling my heart out to you and for that, I can't thank you enough.

Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for trusting me with your thoughts and feelings when you can't even trust yourself. Thank you for dealing with all of my random mood swings (especially when I'm having a particularly bad day!). Thank you for being goofy with me. There are some days where I just need to laugh and act silly with you over skype. Thank you for putting you education before me! I love seeing you succeed at all that you do. Most of all, thank you for being yourself and not compromising anything about yourself to mold to society's vision of perfection. You always stand firm in your beliefs and I hold that at the highest respect. I know that there is no such thing as perfection in this world, but in my opinion, I believe that you are perfect for me.

Thank you for coming into my life unexpectedly and changing it for the better. You have showed me what it really feels like to be on Cloud 9, never once letting me fall back down to the ground. Since you came into my life, I smile a lot more than I used to. I hope that you know that when I picture myself happy, it's always with you. Trying to explain to you just how much I like you is like trying to count the stars; you can try, but it's impossible.


So.........to sum it all up........thank you for everything!


Love,

Your Overly Sentimental Girlfriend

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
