A Love Letter from The Broken Girl to the Boy Who Changed Everything
http://loveizlyf.blogspot.com/2012/06/couple-love-wallpapers-couple-love-hd.html?m=1

A couple of months ago we didn’t know each other. We were two strangers in two separate worlds, yet we were both waiting for each other.

I spent every Thursday night last semester sitting in my college prayer group and would break down crying. I was broken. I had gone through a lot in a year, more than most people go through. I went through anxiety, depression, two sexual assaults, and one toxic relationship. I didn’t understand why this was happening to me. I was a nice girl. What was wrong with me? I was lonely. I wanted a boyfriend. Random hookups are fun in the moment but they never turn into anything. They left me feeling empty, worthless, sad, and used. I lost a lot of self-respect. I didn’t love myself, yet I expected someone else to. I developed self-hatred. I foolishly looked to boys for my self-worth. I started to believe that I deserved all of the terrible things that happened to me.

I was praying for God to hear my cry.

And I began praying for the boy who would love me next. I didn’t know you but I was praying for you. And there you were just a couple hours away at school, and only five minutes away back home. I prayed that God would prepare both of our hearts for each other and when we were both ready, God would bring us together.

God’s timing is always perfect. People say love comes when you least expect it. And it did.

I grew so tired of waiting, waiting, waiting. And then God sent me you.

You are more than worth the wait.

You are more than worth the distance.

You are more than worth the pain and suffering I went through.

You know who you are and I love you.

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.
