The Relationship: the short story
https://www.pexels.com/photo/affection-afterglow-backlit-blur-556667/

It started with two kids that didnt know thing about love and in some cases they still don't know what love is, they know it's idea of looking at someone and getting butterflies in your stomach, and having a your heart beat a little faster. But they don't know the real meaning of love. They started their relationship just like any other couple, getting the butterflies in the stomach and having the hearts beat a little faster when ever they saw each other, it was good fun even. The boy would look at all the girl little imperfections and the girl would find his jokes and the little things he did funny. Then the butterflies stopped and the faster heart beat didn't happen anymore, the boy instead of looking at the girls imperfections and loving them grew to hate them, the jokes and funny things the boy did now annoyed the girl. The couple that started a relationship on loving each other with everything was now turning into a relationship that was cold they more became people where living in the same house other then the couple that loved each other. The couple fought and bickered and no longer felt the love between them, the relationship they once had was quickly falling apart and each one of them could see the end coming. Then the day came the girl blew up on the boy and the boy blew up on the girl, the boy yelled at the girl about the things that he didn't like about her and the girl yelled stating the what she didn't like about him. The girl cried and the boy was filled with rage, they both left each on slamming the doors of two separate rooms. The girl cried as did the boy, hours later the boy went into room where the girl was she was sitting on the bed facing the window with puffy eyes. The boy stood in the doorway watching remembering all the little things that he said annoyed him don't really annoy him they where the little things that he loved about her. Her ability to not give up easily on anything, the fact she was stronger then any other girl he knew, how she sang terrible in the car with him, her laugh and her smile. Those things made the women he loved her. As he watched the girl looked straight out the window, she to remembered the little things that she said annoyed her she actually loved, his ability to make her laugh, make her feel whole, he was her partner in crime she remember the stories told, the awful singing in the car. Turning around she faced the boy both with puffy eyes and runny noses. They looked at each other remembering everything that made them love each other, they knew they didn't want this to end. So they made a promise to each other and it was a simple promise it was a promise to just try, try and take everyday with what comes with it, they promised to love each other and not to give up, they promised to show the love they first had when the relationship started.


This story isn't about ending a relationship because as you can see the couple agreed to fix the relationship that was starting to fall apart around them. The boy and girl lost sight of what really mattered to them, it wasn't what the girl or boy had on the outside but what they had on the inside the made the two of them fall in love with each other. It was the little things like hearing the girl laugh or watching the boy smile at her dancing in the kitchen to country music. So the idea of love nobody really understands it simply for the fact that love is a never ending thing and changing all the time, everybody has a different idea of what love is. Love is a thing that can go away, but it can also come back as long as you are willing to try.

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.

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.
