To The Boy Who Could Not Keep His Promises

The truth then, would have caused less pain now.

To The Boy Who Could Not Keep His Promises
Blogspot

Looking back at all you said, it was really sweet.

You made me feel like the most important girl in the world. My favorite part of every day was talking to you because you encouraged me to have a smile that stretched from ear to ear-- even just by seeing your name light up on my phone. What I am realizing now is I relied too much on you for my happiness, when the only person I now know I can really count on is myself.

I loved hearing what you had to say to me, but I would have much rather of heard the truth than what you thought I wanted to hear. Yes, flattery is always nice and greatly appreciated; I know I loved hearing it. Ultimately, what I would have rather have heard was the truth.

You lead me to believe I was the only one and that one day soon you and I would become we. That was not your intentions and never what you planned.

When I was worried about being away at school you told me things like “none of the girls in school are you and you are who I want” which made me worry a little less. I should have worried the more because now you are dating someone at school who is not me. When I was worried what you and I would be, you told me things like “I have never really made it work with someone before but this time I'm committed.” This made me think you and I stood a chance, but I should have worried because you were really committed to someone else. When I was worried about her, you told me:

“What was between us is done and I am ready for this with you.”

This made me feel as if I was finally good enough for someone. When I was worried about caring too much too soon, you told me things like “I finally feel like I might have found someone who cares about me as much as I do them.” This made me think this feeling was a two-way street, but I should have worried because you really cared for someone else more despite knowing I cared about you just as much; probably even more, than you cared about me. Whenever I was worried about anything, you told me your two favorite words “I promise” which did not give me a worry in the world. As a matter of fact, it should have made me question everything because your promises were empty promises.

Basically, you knew all the right things to say. What you said was the truth, but it just was not the truth when it came to you and I. I truly believe that you meant what you said and I also believe that you were not sure who you really wanted.

A promise means to assure someone that something will happen. You promised me many things, most of which would never be. You promised to be there for me. You promised I was the one. You promised everything would be okay. You promised to give me the world. You promised we would go places and see things together. You promised you would never change. You promised we. You promised.

I have wasted too much time and too many tears on the thought of we, that I do not even need you in my life anymore. I realized that I do not want to hear what you have to say. I do not even want you.

Empty promises are all you gave me leaving me with a void that one day some other boy will be able to fill with his actions rather than his words. Ultimately, I wish you and her the best and I also wish me and him the best.

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.
