Dear you,

If you're reading this, you already know this is about you. I don't mean any harm in this, I just have a lot to get off of my chest.

About two months ago, you turned my world upside down and made me question everything you ever said, everything we've ever talked about, when you cheated on me with the worst person you could have possibly cheated on me with. You made me have to find myself again, how to be a person without you. At the time, I hated you. I hated you for cheating on me, I hated you for lying to me, I hated you for keeping me around just to use me. I was in love with you though, so I stayed even though it killed me inside. My heart was broken by the only person that I thought could fix it. So I stuck it out. I stayed around, hoping you'd put me together again, even though you were the one who broke me in the first place. To anyone reading this, just remember; the person who hurt you will not be the one to heal you.

You see, I'm not writing this to be mean, I'm not writing this to drag your name through the mud. I'm actually thankful that you broke me so badly, knocked me down time and time again. At the time, I didn't realize that this would be a blessing in disguise. At the time, I was a mess in the form of a girl and it felt like the world was crumbling around me, like the walls and ceiling were constantly closing in on me, it was like suffocating and watching everyone around me breathing just fine. It felt like I was in a never-ending anxiety attack, falling over and over again into it. I literally thought I was dying, but here I am. I am broken and still healing, I am hurting and trying to find complete nirvana, I am untrusting but trying to regain trust in people. I am not the best version of myself, but you made me realize something.

You made me realize that I need to focus on myself for awhile, I can't rely on someone else because other people are so certain. You are the one person in the entire world that I let myself get attached to, I let myself fall in love with you without thinking of the repercussions.

You also made me realize that I need to be more careful, with my emotions and with my words. You made me realize a lot of things, bad and good. I am thankful, though. I have realized over these past two months that I need to love myself before I love anyone else. So, I've been doing a lot of self-analyzing.

I've realized things I should've realized long ago, I'll name a few. I have so much potential. I am smart. I am kind, I am loving. I'm caring. I am loyal and I deserved to be treated how I treat others. Now, I say what's on my mind, which sometimes isn't always what people want to here. I'm blunt, I can have an attitude sometimes. Of course, I'm not the perfect person, but I am learning, I am growing.

Thanks to you, I realized my worth. As strange as it may sound, thank you for breaking my heart. I wish you nothing but the best.

Sincerely,

A.

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.
