A Letter To The Girl With A Cracked Heart

Dear Girl with the Cracked Heart,

Your heart has been cracked, but not fully broken by a guy who probably was not around for long. You didn't know what this guy would mean to you when you first met him, but it was new and enticing so you went with it. At first, he was great. He told you all the things you wanted to hear and you believed him. No matter the relationship flaws, or his lies and bad habits; you wanted it to work, so you made excuses. You told yourself that you deserve this because of your sins, or that he was the only exception because you liked him so much. You told yourself that he would see that you are good, and that he would want to be good and change his ways. Or that you would change him for the better. But when he didn't change and his lies became unswerving, you rethought the whole relationship. You thought "Do I really deserve this?" and "What did I do to make him treat me this way?" But oh, sweet girl you didn't do a thing.

You fell for a guy who is not ready to love you the way you deserve to be loved. That doesn't mean that there is something wrong with you, or even him. Now your relationship is over, and you are wondering where you went wrong or what you could have done to make it better. However, the truth is, if you were having these thoughts and problems this early in a relationship; it was bound to fail. I know you liked him, and you wanted it to work so, so bad. I know you wanted to prove your family and friends wrong, and show them that he can be good to you, and that you can have a good relationship. He did this to you. He cracked your heart. And it hurts.

Please do not push this hurt away. Embrace it, and let your heart heal properly. Not everyone heals in the same way or in the same time frame. If you do not let your heart heal, this hurt will creep up on you for the rest of your life. It will most definitely creep up on you in your next relationship. So, eat ice cream and listen to Taylor Swift all you want if that's what helps. Go for a run, play with some puppies, or trash talk him to your friends. I promise it will make you feel better. But most importantly, realize that there is nothing wrong with you, and that you will find someone who will treat you a thousand times better. He will make you so glad that it did not work out with this guy who cracked your heart. It gets better, and one day when you see him or a post about him, you won't feel that deep pain anymore, and you will hope that he knows how good you are doing. Most likely, he will. Boy, is he missing out.

Sincerely,

A Girl Who's Been There

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.
