"Send My Love To Your New Lover"

In hopes he'll treat her better

If there's one thing that we all want for our exes besides that split second of revenge, it's happiness. Am I right? Sure, we would love to see them stumble and fall. Depending on how it ended, you deserve to feel every bit of saltiness that you do. You were let down, hurt, maybe even blind-sided. You were taken for granted, maybe even taken advantage of. He did not treat you like the queen you deserve to be treated no less than. Or maybe time just told you were not meant to be.

In the end, you were left with a pit in your stomach the size of the hole he left in your heart. You're upset. It's OK. You still think about it. It's OK. You agree when Kelly Clarkson's lyrics state, "I would never wish bad things, but I don't wish you well." Too far? Maybe. Will holding a grudge that heavy and cold help you to move on? Or will it only hold you back from moving forward? Will watching your ex drown for all the wrongs they imposed seriously make you float upright in the water of life? You know the right answer whether you choose to deny it or not.

Here's where our evidently larger levels of maturity come in handy, ladies-- the moment we send our blessings and love to our exes' new future-- the future not involving us. It's weird, but couldn't be more appropriate for our age now (not to mention it's the best of karma). Send your love to his new lover, in hopes that he will treat her better. Wish this couple all the best. Be thankful that's not still you. You dodged a darting bullet on this one. Who's to say they aren't made for each other? He might change his ways for her and put forth the impressive effort he lacked in your relationship with him. If that's the case, commend him. He grew from the egotistical jerk he may have been. Odds are this would have never happened if you stayed together. Be proud of the progress you helped make happen.

When you stop wishing misery upon an ex, you'll see a significant change in your own life. You become more focused on your own happiness, instead of wasting energy anticipating someone else's downfall. You begin to look forward to what's ahead, instead of lingering in the unnecessary past. You close a chapter that's been open too long to reach the better parts of your book. I want nothing but the best for any guy I've ever been with. If that doesn't say "I've moved on," I don't know what will. So send all your sincere love to your ex's new lover, in hopes your new guy's ex-girl will wish the same. What goes around comes around. Thanks to Adele and her music for another brilliant lesson.

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.
