Maybe it wasn't such a bad thing after all.

Thank you for many things. In a way, it was quite bittersweet in the beginning. I understand that things happen for a reason. I am still waiting to see the reason why we didn't last, but I'm sure in time that it will make sense. I know that I will miss the memories that we made and could have made. I know that I will miss the little things like playing music in your car and making fast food runs.

Thank you for showing me how I should be treated and also how I shouldn't be. As much I wanted us to last, I am able to see some flaws with our relationship. You wouldn't read my articles unless I was there to make you. You would go to other people when something upset you, instead of coming to me first. I had wanted to be there for you, to support you, but you wouldn't let me. You began to make fun of what I was passionate about and passively put it down. In the end, you became to busy to talk to me and made me feel like I was bothering you every time I would try to get into contact with you.

With that, I am beginning to realize my freedom and this opportunity you have blessed me with. Although I am not against being in a relationship, I want it with someone that will appreciate me as much as I appreciate them. I am able to take this time and reflect on what I truly want. The person I end up with I hope will be my best friend who will stick by my side through anything. They will see that a relationship is not always easy and will see that it is worth fighting for.

In Adele's words," I was running, you were walking. Couldn't keep up. You were falling down." I want to do a lot of things in life. When I want to do something, I will go at it with everything I have. I have a strong personality because I have been through a lot in my life. I know how to be independent so I'm not worried about being alone. I want someone that will be true to me, which you lacked. Thanks for showing me a very important life lesson that I didn't realize that I needed.

Thanks for setting me free. I have a lot of big plans that I still want to accomplish with my life. I wish you the best with whatever you do. I am happier than ever. I realize that I am happy with the true and honest people that I am surrounding myself with and following my passions. Because, boy, does this girl have plans with her life.

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.
