I Met My Boyfriend For The First Time

After seven months, I finally met my boyfriend in person.

I Met My Boyfriend For The First Time
KittieStrider on Odyssey

On March 2, 2019, I went on my first flight by myself. This was a BIG trip due to the fact that I wasn't going just anywhere, but I was going to meet my boyfriend of seven months for the first time. Well, the first time in person.

Of course, I was nervous, but it went smoothly. We were able to find each other immediately, so there wasn't any confusion there. We got my bag from the luggage claim and headed out to his car so that we could get to his house, which was where I was staying for the entirety of my break.

When we got there, we basically just focused on getting my stuff in the room I was staying in. I met his mother, who was extremely kind to me and then got used to where everything was in the house. It sounds kind of creepy, but when you're somewhere for the first time, it's a process that you have to go through.

Eventually, his sister got to the house and took us out to eat. It was pretty great spending time with them, as I got to know his sister more than I had previously. His entire family is sweet, and it was nice to be able to talk to them more. After we left, we went to her apartment so that she could show me everything.

And, well, that was basically the end of the first day that I was there. Throughout the week, I met his friends from college and he took me exploring. Turns out there are a lot of different stores in New York than there are in Indiana, but the setup of where he lives is really similar to a town here that my parents take my brother and me to constantly. It was comfortable to be there, and I wasn't afraid that I was going to get lost or anything since I was with him. It was really nice.

Of course, being with your boyfriend/girlfriend in person means you have to go on a date somewhere. The first one we went on, we went and spent time at the mall by his place. We got some shopping done that he had to get done, then we basically just wandered around until we got bored and went back to his place.

We did end up going on a second date the night before I left, and that just happened to be out to eat. It was nice to just be able to spend that last night with him, and it was honestly just a really nice time altogether. Of course, it was a Saturday night, and we went to a restaurant that just so happens to be pretty busy on the weekends, but it was still nice. It took a while to get through everything, but we were able to just enjoy the time that we had with the time that we had to spare. That might have actually been one of the best nights that I spent with him.

Overall, I really enjoyed the time I spent with him. I think that was the best spring break that I've ever had, and I'm glad that I was able to spend it in New York with him. The necklace that I'm wearing in the second picture was actually something that he had picked up for me when I was there. I've worn it every day since I got it, and I don't plan on changing that unless something happens to it—or I get a new one.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
