An Open Apology

You're never going to be alone.

Dear Anonymous,

It's highly unlikely that you ever expected to see this letter, or know that it is indeed directed to you. I haven't talked to you in a while and I'm sure you've begin to think that I don't think about you anymore. Based on the fact that I'm writing this letter, that's far from the truth. Regardless what happens in our lives, the people who are close to us always leave marks that we'll always remember.

I was once close to you. You were my shoulder to cry on. The first person I wanted to tell all my news to, good and bad. Someone I accumulated a ton of memories with doing crazy things and even just having heart to heart talks with. You started out as a stranger, but slowly became family. I will always be thankful that you let me in and saw the good inside of me.

I'm sorry that the good didn't always carryout when I lost my temper. I know there have been times where I let things build up inside of me and I needed someone to take them out on, you were the closest target sometimes. You're not my punching bag, and I'm sorry to have thrown so many low blows your way.

You've always been there, even when no one else was, I'm sorry I stopped returning the favor. I got selfish and put other things before you, even when you needed me the most. I'm sure there have been times where I took you for granted and failed to apologize for it.

I miss the long conversations, the approval to post a selfie on Instragram, the inside jokes, the laughs, the secrets, the advice, the car rides and karaoke sessions, but you in general.

I want you to know, that if there comes a time where the world is against you, I am still here rooting for you silently. You're way too good of a person to take what people dish out to you, and being honest here, you don't deserve it either. You're one of the sweetest, good hearted people I've added into my life.

I want you to know that I am sorry. I am sorry for altering the image you had of me into someone we both know I am not. I never wanted to hurt you or the friendship we had built. I am sorry for going behind your back to push you down to feel low. It is my hope that you can sense my sincerity and find the forgiveness. An apology is only as deep as ones actions.

Lastly, I hope that you're doing well. I hope you are happy and living your life to your fullest potential. I hope you never lose sight of who you are or let anyone change you.

If you ever need a hand, mine is always here.

Sincerely,

An Old Friend

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.
