A Letter To My Toxic Ex

Over and over. It never seemed to end. The pain you caused me always seemed unexpected, yet it happened the same way each time. I want to say I hate you, but I can’t. It’s like a part of me dies each time you break my heart. I let you back into my life over and over, and that was my fault. I never should have done that. I don’t know if I regret it because I enjoyed our time together. You were the one that seemed to understand me the most. I let you know everything about me and held nothing back. I loved you with everything I had. I wanted nothing more than to be happy with you. You couldn’t give me that.

You have a problem, and I thought I could fix it. I thought if I gave you all my attention and showed you and the world how much you meant to me that you would change. That you would stop jumping around to other girls time and time again. I tried so incredibly hard to make you stay. I thought I had you for good. We made plans for the future; we looked at rings, we discussed dates, how we were going to be together once we graduated and started our careers. I thought that was enough. I thought I had it all made. I was wrong.

You’ve told me that we’re toxic for each other. You’re only partially right. I did nothing but love you. You, on the other hand, destroyed me. While I thought you were the greatest thing to happen to me, you were slowly ruining my life. Every single girl you’ve ever been with has been cheated on by you. That really messes people up. I lost my trust in you a long time ago, and I lost faith in love in general. You are toxic. You have never changed, and I doubt you ever will. You cheat. That’s who you are. You manipulate and lie and use people, but you do it with such charm that no one seems to realize what’s going on until it’s over.

It’s not fair that you’re always the one to end up happy. You move onto a new girl before your current relationship is over. Behind you, you left a trail of anger, distrust, and depression. You’re toxic to everyone who comes in contact with you. For years, you’ve been a horrible influence on me. And yet somehow I haven’t been able to shake you. It hurt. It still hurts. You’ve left an impact on my life so negative that I can no longer function like I used to. You don’t care. As far as I can tell, you never have cared, or you wouldn’t be such a horrible person.

I used to think you would be the man I would grow up with, share a life with, get a dog with. Dang was I wrong. I can’t even call you a man because you act like a child. You play this innocent kid who’s just dated a few crazy girls. It’s believable simply because you’ve made them crazy. It’s unbelievable, but it’s an ongoing cycle.

You are toxic.

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.
