To Mr. Wrong

I fell and you didn't catch me

To Mr. Wrong
Robert Biu

I've always prided myself in being a good judge of character, but you were the exception. I was cautious and careful because the last thing I needed was to get hurt. I trusted you when there were no grounds to build that trust upon. I fell for you and you didn't catch me.

The signs were all there. Cancelling at the last minute, changing up plans and making excuse after excuse should have stopped me dead in my tracks. I wish I would have seen it sooner. My friends saw right through your act and tried to convince me to run away as fast as I could. I couldn't see it.

There was something enticing about you. I don't know if it was your soft eyes or the joy I felt hearing your laughter. It could have been the way you looked at me as if we were the only two people in the world. There was something romantic about seeing my reflection in your eyes illuminated by the soft glow of the moon. I don't know if it was the way you ran your hand through your hair or your effortless charm, but you had me hooked from the start.

You showered me with compliments and I feel foolish to have believed you. We argued over who would pay the bill and somehow you always won. You treated me to chivalry and affection. For once, I felt taken care of, but I couldn't see through it all.

You used me for attention. I was a toy to play with and toss away. I meant every word I said and you were reciting scripted lines. The whole ordeal was almost like a game to see how far you could get into my mind and then run away as fast as you could.

I was certain that you were my forever. Every word you said was perfect and was said at just the right time. But you were good at convincing people that you are someone you are not. You schmoozed and wiggled your way into my life when I was least expecting it. I can see now how flawed it was from the beginning. A toxic relationship doomed from the start.

Although, you were my Mr. Wrong, one day I hope you find a girl to hold onto. Someone who will capture your heart just like you captured mine. I hope that you find happiness instead of stealing it away from others. One day I hope you turn into Mr. Right for someone and promise to stay. And when the right girl falls for you I hope you'll catch her, even though you didn't catch me.

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.
