Teenage Love Doesn't Always Last
quotesgram

Growing up as a young child, I always dreamed of what I saw in the movies. Love at first sight when you walk down hall making eye contact with the quarterback; or the bad boy around town catches your attention by causing trouble. We all know that at some point in our lives we’ve hoped for this and, in many cases, it didn’t happen. Yes, don’t get me wrong, we’ve all had our fair share of “lust” and “love in our lives, but I’m coming to realize teen love doesn’t always last.

Relationships with our generation tend to not last longer than two years. There are many reasons to why I say that; trust, loyalty, honesty, and social media. These are the reason love isn’t lasting. In some cases whenever a couple is fighting you’ll see it all over Twitter, or they go on a rant on Facebook. Nothing is kept personal anymore... With everyone knowing your business they are more likely to give their input on the situation. Most times silence is your best answer.

I can tell you first hand teenage love doesn’t last… I was with my last boyfriend for a year and five days. We were best friends, we did everything together. He was someone I could tell everything to.. We laughed, we cried, we shared memories. But as of the other day it came to a screeching hault. Yes we had our ups, but we very much so had our downs. We would argue constantly, disagree on almost everything, and I couldn’t trust him. This was one of the most difficult decisions I've made in a long time, and the last thing I thought I would be doing is cutting ties with the who I thought was the love of my life.

Our situation was a little different than others'. His dad was very generous to let me live with them - I moved in very quickly after we started dating. We were with each other constantly, it was like someone glued us together. Not only did we live together, but we got a dog together. Things were pretty serious between us. But there has to come a point where you say enough is enough. I packed my stuff, and went on my way. I’m really seeing that teenage love doesn’t last.

Don’t get me wrong, I still love this boy very much. There just comes a point in your relationship where you will realize that it’s not working out. I don’t regret the time I spent with him, it was just a learning experience. Yeah, it has been a rough last couple of days, but with the wonderful support of my amazing friends and family I know I will get through this rough time.

I know we all think when things like this happen, that our lives are over. Just because you didn’t get your fairytale ending this time doesn’t mean true love doesn’t exist. Appreciate the love you have right now and cherish every moment you get to share with your person. If you don’t have that love don’t give up, take each day as they come and you’ll have your real true love right in front of you before you know it.

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.
