It's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all

The Cost Of Loving Someone
weknowyourdreams.com

It's a feeling that almost every person seeks in the life time: love. The beauty of love is that it takes form in a variety of forms-- parental, friendship, relationship and many more. The power of loving someone and having someone love you back is an unbreakable bond-- an almost inexplicable sentiment. However, there is a cost when you love someone.

One of the most terrifying costs that comes with loving someone is the the possibility of that person being gone. The thought of someone being out of your life-- whether that be through passing away or breaking up-- is enough to shake you to your core. When you love someone, they take a piece of you whether you like it or not. They hold an inexorable bond to you.

When you love someone, tough choices become way harder. You understand that just because you love someone, it does mean you have the choice to keep them around if that's not what they want. It's what all of the cliches say, if you love someone set them free; if they're meant to come back you you, they will.

The purpose of saying all of this is not to scare anyone off from loving someone; it's more of a forewarning. You can't fully love someone unless you love yourself.

When it comes to love in a relationship, it's imperative to reach a certain maturity. Since there is so much to lose when you love someone, it's important that this is taken into account.

There is nothing more beautiful and wholesome as the feeling of loving someone.

Never let the unknown determine your actions because you could be missing out on one of the most exhilarating experiences of your life.

Yes, it's scary to love someone. There is so much to lose, but there is so much more to gain.

As they say, it's better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

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.
