I Long For A Certain Kind Of Love

I long for a love, where our days are spent laughing about nothing and joking about everything.

I Long For A Certain Kind Of Love
Gabriella Scaff

In quiet and slow mornings like these, where I lie awake, waiting for time to pass and my alarm to go off, my mind is flooded of memories and thoughts of past loves lost and future loves longed for.

I think to myself, I long for a love with no particular person in mind. Instead, I long for a certain kind of love.

I long for a love where you’d notice me by my little things. By the way I run my fingers through my hair, tap my fingers on my mug when I’m thinking, and swirl my coffee around when I’m nervous.

I long for a love where you’d pay attention to the way I blink my eyes, moving my eyelashes slower than usual. I long for a love where your world would slow down for a second as our eyes lock, just as mine would for you.

I long for a love where my presence would warm you and suddenly knit sweaters and blankets wouldn’t do the trick.

I long for a love where you’d notice my feet poking out from the side of the booth where I lie. I want you to see my shoes, my jeans, my legs. I want you to see the scarf in my hair from behind and notice me by my little things.

I long for a love where song lyrics, melodies, and falling leaves in the winter remind you of me. I long for a love where bumping into each other becomes a favorite part of your day, as watching both of our eyes light up becomes a favorite part of mine.

I long for a love where you’d tangle your legs between mine and warm my hands between yours, as we’d keep each other warm on cold and rainy nights.

I long for a love where we’d both fall.

I long for a love where our days are spent laughing about nothing and joking about everything.

I long for a love where you’d see my untied laces, my crooked glasses, my legs tapping, and the crumbs on my lap and say in your head,

"There she is."

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.
