The Distance Between Lovers

The oceans, mountains and valleys between two lovers.

I think one of the hardest things in life is realizing that someone you love infinitely is just not right for you - or at least not right for you right now. Usually in moments like these even realizing that the person you love isn't right for this period in your life is devastating. You want so badly to wake up every day and kiss them on their cheek or make dinner for them after work. You want to be comforted by them when sorrow engulfs your soul and when your mind has turned into a dark place. You want to feel their presence as you walk into the house, smell their cologne. But life is never that simple. Life never gives you exactly what you want when you want it. It makes you wait and wait until you're ready and prepared.

Have you ever seen someone and the moment you lay your eyes on them you just know? You know that this man or woman will be so influential in your life that you will never be able to vanquish the effect they have on your heart or soul. They will be able to light up your eyes as soon as they walk into a room. Together you're electric. It's like when water hangs around an exposed wire. You're both just waiting for the chance to set a fire inside each other. You understand each other better than two people can because you were cut from the tree. There's no use trying to find another him or her because there never will be another them. The way you two are the same and different all in the same instant raises a contradiction that neither of you quite understand. It's like fate and the universe just don't see eye to eye. Fate slams you together and the world stretches you apart. The only hope you have is that one day the two will align. That the chemistry you two share will not only inhabit your mind and body but inhabit your reality. That through the good and the bad you'll end up by each other's side.

There are days that are harder than others - when you feel like giving up. When you feel like you have no direction or purpose. There are days when your heart yearns for your person, but you are oceans, mountains, and valleys apart. All you have is the hope that lies in your heart. The hope that the oceans, mountains, and valley will concave and form a path to one another. You hope that the universe will finally allow fate to take the wheel. But right now all you have is hope - hope that life knows what the hell it's doing.

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.
