An Open Letter To My First Love

Thank you for being one of the most important chapters in my life.

An Open Letter To My First Love

Dear First Love,

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you or think about the times that we used to share and the memories that we made. I fell in love with not only you, but on top of that I also fell in love with the idea of us being together for the rest of our lives and the story that we could one day tell our children. The story that our children would one day tell our grandchildren and the legacy of pure true and unconditional love that we would leave behind for years to come.

We were going to be proof and inspiration that true love and happiness could still exist in the world. You know more about me than many people do; the good, the bad, and the ugly and you still managed to love me through my flaws. Throughout the twist and turns that we came across we still managed to somehow find our way back to each other.

You changed me for the better by pushing me in times when I couldn’t push myself. You changed my view of the world as well as my view of life itself. You challenged me as well as made me hate you at the same time. I worked ten times harder because you knew that I could make it. You made me laugh, you made me cry, and you sometimes made me want to leave you alone all together. You are the center of my memories because you were my first date, my first kiss, and my first life changing love.

It been a year and a half since we finally split and decided to move on but I still find myself hoping and praying that you are doing well. I pray that you accomplish every goal that you set for yourself, I pray for peace and stability in your life, and I pray that you happen to stumble upon a woman that will not only take care of you but also give you that unconditional love that you search for. That chapter in my life may have ended but the story itself will never change. No matter what you may face in life whether it is positive or negative I will always be there if you need help along the way.

I want to thank you for revealing a part of myself, for teaching me that I will be able to take the lessons that were learned from our chapter and apply them to other chapters in my life to come. Thank you for being there in times when I felt that I did not have anyone that I could lean on but you were always right there with your shoulder waiting. Thank you for instilling drive and ambition in me that I still use whenever I feel myself giving up. Overall, thank you for loving me in a time when I felt that no one else did.

Sincerely,

Your Ex-Girlfriend

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
