The 5 Truths About Love

1. Love waits for no one.

Have you ever been in a relationship where your partner wasn't as in love with you as you were and they propose that you take a break. In this break there are guidelines like that you can't fall in love with anyone else. I can tell you right now that time isn't the problem. If your partner wants to take a break, there is a deeper problem. Anyway, while on break another person starts to take interest in you and you hang out with them more and more. Without meaning to, you develop feelings for this person. They treat you better than your ex partner did and wants to ask you to go steady. Now you are conflicted, do you reject the new suitor and continue waiting for your current partner to come back if they even do, or do you say the hell with it and tell your old partner it is over and start a new adventure. In my opinion, never ask someone to wait for you and never wait for anyone else it'll just lead to prolonged heartache.

2. Distance is public enemy #1

If you or anyone you know has tried a long distance relationship, more than likely it did not work out. There are different types of distance, physical and emotional. With the physical distance, yes Skype is a thing but it is no replacement for a hug or a kiss. Emotional distance could be caused by many different reasons, the partner being distant could be feeling guilty about something or falling out of love but whatever it may be it probably isn't good.

3. Love doesn't forget

Yes, it is possible to stay with someone after they have wronged you like committing adultery but do not think for one second that the slate is wiped clean and all is forgotten. After you break the trust, it isn't really possible to get it back. If you are in the guilty party, things will not go back to how they used to be. Your partner will always see you a different way now. If you are in the injured party, you have an important choice to make. If you chose to forgive, fine, but you won't forget. That isn't how our brain and heart work.

4. Love is limitless

Before I get called all kinds of terrible things let me clarify, love is limitless between two consenting adults. These adults can be blue, green, or purple. They can be two men or women or something in between. Love is only limited by law (still referring to the consenting adults). Don't ever think or let anyone tell you that you cant love someone because love doesn't follow the rules.

5. Love doesn't follow the rules

We've seen this in Shakespearean plays like Romeo and Juliet or in Disney movies like the Lion King. Love doesn't follow a rule book of any kind. Actually movies go out of their way to tell how two opposites attract. This helps us believe that it doesn't matter what background you come from, skin color, sexual orientation, or gender you are, you have the ability to fall in love.

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.
