An Ode To My Missing Blue Top

You were so soft and sexy.

Last summer, I got two new shirts from American Eagle Outfitters. I got a blue tank top and a red tank top from their Soft & Sexy line. I love both tops so much. Unfortunately, I have lost the blue top. The blue top was my very favorite top from that summer.

So Dear My Missing Blue Top,

Thank you for finally appearing in American Eagle in my size that week. I liked my red shirt, but I loved you more.

You were my favorite purchase all summer; I would wear you everywhere.

Then one day, I put you in the dirty clothes for my mother to wash you, and you never came out.

Where are you? Are you in the abyss of my closet, where the single pairs of socks are? Did my mom accidentally place you in my sister's closets by accident?

I pray every day that you are still in the house. But I cannot find you, wherever you are.

Could you maybe send out a smoke signal? Of course you can't, you're an inanimate object.

I'm sorry for the times I wore you without a tank top underneath you. I am sorry for the times I got water or food stains on you, I inherited that from my dad. And I am sorry that you never came back from your journey of being clean.

You should know that you still are my favorite blue top. And that I still think of you everyday, and I miss you when I am away at school. I'm hoping that I'll find you this summer.

But I guess I should make my peace that I may never find you again.

Update 5/27/2017: I have found the shirt curled up in a ball next to my hamper in my closet.

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.
