Dear Lost Connections,

I guess it has been a bit of time, but hey, if you guys are reading this.

To the ones that were not so great, thanks for being there and making me feel bad at times because those times made me stronger. You taught me to get back up again and keep going with a smile. While you are now out of my life, I keep getting back up with my new experiences that I face every single day, and because of you I face every hardship with strength.

To the ones that were great and then turned bad, I missed the good times. On the other hand, I am also glad things went bad and caused you to show me your true colors. You showed me who you truly were and now I am happy you are not in my life. I am happy that you are not here to hurt me more or hurt me later.Thanks for showing me the real you when you did.

To the ones that were great and kind of just faded, wow, I miss you. Whether you are old high school friends or even just people that I met along my life outside of school, I miss you. Yes, I have the good memories of you all, but sometimes, I wish we made more memories. I wish we had more adventures together. I wonder if you also think about me sometimes. That would be cool to know, but yeah, just know that I think about you a lot in high regard.You know who you are.

To all of these connections, thanks for being there when you were! If I did not have you at a point, then I wouldn’t be the strong, kind, and positive minded person I am today. Thank you for the time you spent with me and the lessons you taught me. No matter what happened in our past, I hope things are going the way you want them to go, without me there.

Sincerely,

Your Former Connection

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.
