A Story Of An Ordinary Man I Met
Desiring God

I met an ordinary man at an extraordinary moment in a weird place by an unfamiliar person. This man is nobody, but my mentor, my counselor, my best-friend, and a big brother which my parents did not give me, but God did. This man is more than a boyfriend, a fiancé, even more than a husband. I have not found the right name or adjective for him, however; I call him “Baby” because your baby will always stay connected to your heart, no matter what.

I have known this man for ten years now; however, we had personally talked almost three years ago, and it was like the best moment of our lives. When I started talking to him; I never thought that he would mean so much to me. Yes, I liked him, but I was not expecting him to come ask me out because we never had a chance to talk when we used to see each other at school. However, two days after we met again in a group we started talking privately, and three days after we spoke he had asked me out. Since I liked him, I did not hesitate to be his girlfriend, but I was not mature enough to keep the relationship healthy, so we broke up twice and went our separate ways.

After we broke up, I always asked God to send me the one I deserved. One Sunday I went to church, and it seemed like the sermon was for me, and the pastor was talking to me. Right after the preach, the pastor said a prayer for those who were either confused and wanted God to take control over their love lives. So, I repeated the prayers, and three days later, I went on Facebook and saw a quiz “Find the first name of the love of your life?”, And by curiosity, I decided to play it. As soon as I clicked play, his name automatically came out. I was shocked, so I screenshot it and sent it to him which also shocked him because he did not expect it at the moment. So, after a few days, we decided to try one last time, and it was that day that brought us here together for 21 months, and we are afraid to lose each other now. He has always made sure that I never face a moment alone even if he has to go through pain. I have disappointed him, but he still found the best way to let his love for me take control instead.

As I am writing this essay, we are also celebrating our 21st month together, and we are willing to spend more because we both feel like we complete each other. There is nothing impossible as long as you have the willingness for your accomplishments. The milestones are never easy for those without patience. Now that we have done 21 months, we believe that we can do 21 years and more. I am willing to make this ordinary man the part of my mysterious accomplishment due to an odd experience. I can say that the inexplicable meeting brought me such unexpected happiness and joy.

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.
