To The Boy I never Dated, I think A Part Of Me Will Always Miss You

To the boy I never dated,

Let's be clear. I never intended on catching feelings, and I really did not want you to be the next boy I had a crush on. I thought you were alright, swiped right, and bam got feelings. Isn't it funny how Tinder makes things so easy?

We never dated, and to be honest that is for the best. However, there are sometimes I wish we had. I wish things had been different. Maybe if we met in a coffee shop or in class, maybe it would have been the big romance every girl dreams of. Maybe you would have written me these epic love letters that I would have saved in my drawer. If I had those love letters, I would one day, when I'm old and gray, show my granddaughter and tell her of the great love I had when I was just a little older than her.

This generation lacks the art of dating. No, you and I were never in a relationship yet were definitely more than friends, but it never fell into that gray area of friends with benefit. I will not deny that there were feelings, but never placed a label on what we were. I'm not upset about that though because I understand it was just the way things were between us. However, the letting go aspect of us I do not quite understand.

How can you crave someone so much, but let go so quickly? How could it feel so right, so natural, but turn into absolutely nothing? I'm not bitter, and I certainly do not hate you. On the other hand, I miss it and us. And I think a part of me will always miss it.

Maybe one day, we will meet again in a coffee shop, no Tinder or whatever trendy dating app involved. Maybe we will date, and have a label. Or maybe we won't. I don't know, but I don't want to lose the friend I gained.

Until another day,

The girl who misses 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.
