The Strange And Frightening Moment You Realize You've Fallen For Him

I just want to freeze that moment in time and keep it forever.

The Strange And Frightening Moment You Realize You've Fallen For Him

My heart had not known this feeling until this moment.

God, this is already sounding dramatic.

You know that feeling when you finally experience positive emotions for once in your life? That is this moment. I've been hurt by so many men in the past that I've almost given up on finding the one. I was so convinced that he didn't exist, that he was some made up idea that had been planted in my mind as a way to cope with my loneliness. I was all set to renounce my worldly possessions and join an abbey as a nun but...that all changed.

When I met him.

I met him, and the feelings I thought I had lost came rushing back to me at once, overwhelming me to the point where I lost almost all my senses. He was a breath of fresh air to me: warm, caring, respectful, and honest. I could sit and talk to him for hours, about anything really. He made my heart flutter every time he looked at me or touched my hand, or when he would hug me and rub my back.

Yet, sometimes, my fears come clawing their way back up from the depths. I worry that I bore him, or that I come on too strong. I worry that he thinks I'm dumb, or that I don't think at all. But, when he looks at me, I don't know how to feel. His gaze is so calming, so soothing. It's like I just want to freeze that moment in time and keep it forever.

Although the seeds of his affections have been just planted within my heart, I can feel them starting to sprout. Their roots forming and taking shape with the soil of my soul. My hope is is that he feels the same way about me. Until then, I will allow myself to fall in love with him, to accept his compliments, and open my heart to him.

Who knows, maybe you'll all be invited to the wedding.

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.
