I thought you were my forever, but then life threw a curveball.

An Open Letter To The Boy Who Broke My Heart
A Lofty Existence

Dear ex-boyfriend,

We were together for almost two years and had basically already planned out our future together. There were doubts about us in the beginning, but you didn’t listen to them. You assured me that I was the only one for you, and that we’d be together forever. I’ve been through several heartbreaks before and I’ve always been told, “Each heartbreak is closer to your happily ever after.” Naturally, I thought you were my happily ever after. You quickly became my best friend and we started a journey with each other that I will truly never forget. Just like any other couple, we fought, we made up, we went on dates, we got annoyed with each other, but at the end of the day our love was stronger than ever. I always told you I loved you more than the previous day, but not as much as the next day. Our age of course was a barrier as well. Being in love at such a young age, sometimes you find “the one” too early in life and things don’t work out because of it. If it had met you five years from now instead, I don’t think we would’ve broken up, but I can’t predict the future, I don’t know what would have happened. What I do know, is that I never expected this to happen, not now, not 10 years from now.

Although you broke my heart, leaving me completely speechless, I want to say, thank you. Thank you for an incredible two years together. Thank you for allowing me to come out of my shell. Thank you for loving my family as much as they loved you. Thank you for hugging me tight as I cried in your arms during anxiety attacks. Thank you for helping me through my struggle of self harm. Thank you for being my reason to smile every day and my reason to laugh as well. Thank you for helping me through my senior year of high school, and watching me walk across that stage to get that diploma, because we both know, I couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you for the memories that I will continue to cherish. Thank you for going on vacations with my family. Thank you for being a role model for my younger brother who worships the ground you walk on, oh and thanks for letting him beat you every once in a while at the PS4. Thank you for taking endless selfies with me, even when you were getting annoyed. But, most importantly, thank you for loving me and teaching me how to love others and myself again.

We may not be together anymore but the love I have for you will not deteriorate anytime soon. You will always have a special place in my heart, and nothing will ever change that. You say you did this for you, and I truly hope you find happiness in this. Of course I’m disappointed, of course I’m sad, heartbroken, and confused, but I will never stop worrying and caring about you and all you have done for me and my family over this two year span. I give you all of the credit in the world for being able to put up with me, and I’m sorry things didn’t work out.

I wish you all the best in life, and all the happiness and love that you deserve!

Thank you,

Taylor

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.

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.
