Love Will Happen When You Least Expect It

How I met the love of my life on Tinder.

Love Will Happen When You Least Expect It
Feel Grafix

I feel like I was always a person who looked for love in all the wrong places. I didn't necessarily want a boyfriend, but I wanted someone to want me I guess. I looked for it everywhere. Unfortunately, I didn't find true love until I stopped looking all together. I found the love of my life on Tinder, on Spring Break, in probably the most unlikely way.

Nowadays we do this "talking" thing where you act like you're together and do "couple things," but you aren't actually anything more than glorified friends. This is ridiculous. We are taking away such an integral part of falling in love, DATING! I feel like as a society we are forgetting what "dating" is. In my mind this is forcing people to look for love instead of just letting it happen. Everyone is so afraid to get "played," that they walk around with this huge guard up. No one wants to look stupid or "catch feelings" first. It's crazy how much our generation has messed up the art of falling in love.

As I mentioned earlier I met the love of my life in the most unexpected way, when I really wasn't looking for anything at all. I went on Spring Break to Gulf Shores with a group of friends. We wanted to find people from other schools to hang out with so we got on Tinder. I swiped right on a couple of guys and one actually messaged me back. A football player from ULM. We messaged for awhile and started texting. The next day he made the venture down the beach and our groups linked up. We hung out basically the entire week. When I say I thought nothing of it, I am beyond serious. I figured we would leave Spring Break and never speak again, boy was I wrong. His friends fell asleep on the way home, lucky for me, and we talked his entire ride back to school. Next thing I knew we were making plans to visit each other and before I knew it I was in the best relationship of the my entire life. There is no doubt in my mind that I will spend the rest of my life with him, grow with him, and someday build a family with him. This all happened from a swipe right on TINDER!

The moral to this whole story is love will come to you when you are least expecting it! It may not happen at your school or in your hometown and you may end up in a crazy long distance relationship, but it will happen. Sometimes you have to let your guard down and have fun. Let God take the lead and show you what or who you need in your life. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and everything happens at a certain time in your life. Stop looking for love in the wrong places because it will come to you when you least expect it.

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.
