A Reminder To My Girl

I'm not saying that you need saving, because you're way stronger than I could ever be.

A Reminder To My Girl

I never used to pay attention to small details. I just focused on the same things that everyone else knew about people. I guess I didn't care enough, and why would I? They weren't different, or special, or intriguing. They weren't worth remembering, so details never mattered. But with you, I want to know everything.

I just want to know you. I want to know what keeps you up at night when I'm not there. I want to know your deepest secrets, even the ones you think I'll judge you for. I want to know why you feel like you deserve so much less when in reality you deserve the universe. I want to know why you chose me. Every detail is important. I want to notice every freckle, every scar, every blemish. I want to know YOU.

What makes you cringe? What makes you smile until your cheeks hurt? What is your future going to be? I want you to realize that nothing could ever change my feelings for you. You have entered my life, and completely reconstructed how I feel about everything. Everything has new meaning and not many things matter.

I want to do everything with you, just to see you grin. I want to show you new things, and protect you from any negativity. You've already been through way too much, and I hate that you had to go through it on your own, but those things have elapsed, and you're here now. Everything in your past has led you to this moment. I'm in love with the person you are today. So, please let me continue to know you. Let me learn from you, teach you, laugh with you.

I'm not saying that you need saving, because you're way stronger than I could ever be. I am saying that I'm here forever. I'm here because I want to be. I'm here because at this point, I need to be. I just want to know you, maybe even more than myself.

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.
