An Open Letter to the Person Who Will Fall in Love With Me Someday
Power of Positivity

Dear person of my dreams,

Everyone around me seems to be falling in love left and right and I keep wishing that I'd meet you already.

Sometimes, I even start imagining a scenario where I'm in a bookstore and you'd magically appear and talk to me about why you prefer Charlotte Bronte over Emily Bronte. Sometimes I imagine that I'll meet you on my bus ride home from the bookstore, I'd be listening to A Certain Romance, and you would sit down and praise my great taste in music.

Unfortunately, I snap out of my daydream and I continue to realize just how not in love I am. My eyes somehow seem to fall right on a happy couple near me and I seem to feel alone.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pining for you. I'm not pining for love but I'm so curious. People are so vague when they describe love.

"I never thought I would ever feel this way."

"It's an indescribable, incredible feeling."

I'm tired of vague descriptions. What does that even mean?

Sometimes, when I'm super lonely, I feel that I really need you in my life. I want to be able to create memories with someone who's more than just a best friend. For once in my life, I want to be with someone on Valentine's Day and have an excuse to not hang out with people once in a while.

I'm working on getting rid of that feeling. I would love to be in love but I would also love to not feel the need to be in love.

The more I realize that you're a luxury and not a necessity, the more I learn how much I love my own company. Being alone has taught me so much about myself that I would never have learned if I had already met you.

I used to make up weird excuses for why I haven't met you. I'm either too open about who I am, too closed off, too insecure, or I don't have the right personality; but that's not true at all.

I think I'll find you when the time is right for both you and me.

I'll meet you when I meet you and I promise we'll embark on many journeys.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
