Everyone Remembers The "Firsts" Of Their Relationship

“Here's to many more firsts and many more great memories.”

Everyone Remembers The "Firsts" Of Their Relationship

If you've ever been in a relationship (of any sort), you know the concept well; the "firsts" of the relationship.

There's obviously the first time you meet them, the first conversation you have, the first time you make plans for just the two of you to spend time together, the first time you make them laugh, the first kiss, the first time you say goodbye and then are suddenly bombarded with the feeling of their absence.

There's the first time you fall asleep next to them, the first time they meet your parents, the first time you meet their parents, your first concert together, the first time you cry in front of them and the first time they have to comfort you and you, them.

There's the first "I love you," and that might be the "first" that you remember for the rest of your life because for once, they said that first.

These firsts also happen to be the first things that play back in your mind the first time you realize they're gone. Once you hit that point, there are different firsts you have to experience.

The first time you wake up and realize you're alone again.

The first time you have to find plans for the weekend that don't include them.

The first time you have to sit through a night with your friends trying to distract yourself (and failing) from thinking about what they're doing.

The first time you have to experience the holidays without them around.

The first time you see evidence of them hanging out with another person, and the first time you frantically lurk that person's social media pages to compare yourself to them.

The first time you get that heart-in-your-stomach feeling when you realize that they have moved on from you.

But then, there's the first time you get through a day without thinking of them as often as you have been.

There's the first time you're watching a rom-com and don't spend the whole time lamenting your broken relationship.

There's the first time you go on an amazing girls night out and don't get the urge to drunk call them.

There's the first time you laugh so hard that you can't feel your gut and you realize that you are healing.

There's the first time you see someone else from across the room and make eye contact and realize that maybe it's time for you to move on, too.

Everyone is experiencing different firsts every day, whether they be good or bad. If you seem to be stuck in an everlasting menagerie of firsts post-breakup, don't stress. Just as you thought there would be no new firsts for you after your last break-up, you'll be surprised again, and if this is your first break-up ever, you have no need to worry. Every first feels like the very first, no matter your past. There are still so many firsts in store for you.

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.
