A Letter To The Boy Who Left Too Soon

All of the things I never got to say to you

A Letter To The Boy Who Left Too Soon

To The Boy Who Left Too Soon,

My biggest regret will always be the fact that there were things left unsaid. It will always hang over my head like a dark cloud, the idea that you left this earth without knowing how big of an impact you made on me. If I could take it all back and rewind to the last conversation we had, I would do it in a heartbeat. Although there is no going back and it’s too late for us to ever have this talk, here are a few things I wish I could have told you.

First, I want to thank you. Thank you for changing my life in more ways than one, and for being my person for so many years. Things weren’t always perfect and we had our fair share of disagreements but without them, we wouldn’t have been “us.” Having you in my life has made me who I am and I am really starting to love that person.

Thank you for all of our adventures, food runs, and movie nights. For being my personal diary and listening to all of my thoughts, goals, and secrets for so many years. For putting up with all of my weird quirks and awkward tendencies, and for caring about my wellbeing. Thank you for making me a stronger person, while you were here and even after you passed. I feel as if I can handle anything that life throws at me and I owe a lot of that to you. Thank you for bringing me closer to so many people, although I wish it were under different circumstances. I am now secure and confident in my relationship with my family, my best friends, and with God. They got me through my darkest of days.

I would want you to know that I miss your extroverted personality and how you could brighten anyone’s day. You were a ladies’ man, a jokester, a man of God, the list could go on and on. Although we will always miss you, God needed you up there more than he needed you here on Earth.

I also would want you to know that I was so angry. So very mad at you. Mad at you for leaving all of us and without any kind of warning, for not giving us a chance to say goodbye. But with that being said, over time we have had the opportunity to heal, grow in our faith, and come to terms with what has happened, and with that; I have peace of mind.

To the boy who left too soon, you will always have a special place in my heart and I will forever miss you. Thanks for everything.

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.
