A Thank You From Your Ex

A Thank You From Your Ex
Min Song

Hey,

It’s been a while. I still think about you when I pass the stairs we declared ours, or the pizzeria where we had our first date. But you’re starting to cross my mind less and less each day. And although this is what I wanted for a very, very long time, it’s a bit scary. You were all that I knew freshman year, all I cared about for a while. I’m finally ready to let you go, but before I do completely… I need to thank you for a few things. So as overdue as it is, here you go.

Thanks. For the broccoli cheddar soup while I was sick—much better than the instant mashed potatoes you tried convincing me was good. For the bubble tea, takoyaki dates (guess it’s a good time to tell you I only pretended to like takoyaki because you loved it so much). For your endless patience while I ranted about the smallest things that I can’t even remember now. I wish now I spent those moments laughing with you instead. Wandering around the city, or even re-watching Game of Thrones. Your timely, well memorized quotes never seized to amaze me.

Thanks. For all those times you reassured me that I was beautiful when I complained about my thighs. For dancing with me in the middle of the night to make me laugh. My clumsiness was always matched by your impressive footwork. For knowing how to make me smile even when I was having a rough day. The unreciprocated way you can make me so happy by just being with me.

Thanks for just sitting with me during the times I needed someone the most. For the way you held me when I was sick, sad, tired of the world. Even if it was 4 a.m. For reassuring me everything was going to work out and be good, even when I was so sure it wasn’t.

Thanks for holding me till I fell asleep. Even with all my sleep talking. And kicking. For being home away from home.

Thanks for teaching me how to love. Thanks for teaching me how to be loved.

Love,

Coach

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

189373

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.
