Now, you know why it didn't work with anyone else.

Be With Someone Who Will Always Choose You
The Knot

It has been said that, once you find the right one, you realize why nothing worked out with the others. I’m a firm believer in the idea that everything, and every relationship, has a place in our lives. No matter how bad it ended, it taught me something. Taught me about what I deserve. Taught me about respecting myself more. I learned from each and every one, no matter how good or bad it ended. I appreciated it, because it became part of my story. But having a better opportunity? There’s something sweet about it, even if it is bittersweet to start over.

There’s something about being with the, seemingly, right person after everything else went wrong. You wonder why you settled for anything less than what you currently have. You wonder why you accepted empty compliments and promises and held onto them with a death grip because they were few and far between. Now, compliments are genuine. They’re frequent and real and honest, even at 3 AM when there’s a tired, comfortable silence. Don’t settle for anything less.

There’s something about not having to walk on eggshells, because being with the right one is like being with your best friend. You can be yourself. The guard can fall down at your feet. Be wild. Be crazy. Be reserved, even. Whatever you are, it doesn’t matter, because they love you, regardless.

Be with someone who is proud of you. Be with someone who will tell the whole world that you are theirs, given the chance. Be with your biggest fan.

Be with someone who you can laugh with. Please, pick the one who can make you smile on your worst day, but who can also hold you and let you lose yourself.

Be with someone who makes you excited for the future. Be with the person who comes into your life and makes you realize that two successful people are better together than apart.

Be with someone who makes you love the simple things. Be with someone who makes you realize that love isn’t something you need to fight for. Not now, and not ever. Be with someone who makes you realize that fighting for love in the past was so wrong.

When you love the right person, you finally know why it didn’t work with anyone else. Be with someone who will always choose you.

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.

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.
