To The One Who Got Away

My other half had left, and so did my faith in love.

You. Me. Us.

The adventures we experienced and the challenges we faced are all still very fresh to me. They were not just memories, they were vivid images, that when looked back upon, every detail screamed.

The way your blonde hair flowed so effortlessly. The way that leather bracelet I brought back from my travels looked against your pale wrist. And finally, your eyes, how they gazed into mine, telepathically conveying your emotions.

These thoughts brought a warmth to my hands and would encourage my heart to dance.

I have yet to feel something like that. Something that was so simple, yet so beautiful.

Once we parted ways, I felt as if I was split right down the middle. My other half had left, and so did my faith in love.

I went on with my life or at least tried to, but everything my eyes found itself on brought me back to our memorable excursions.

As tears would flood my vision, I couldn't help but think that maybe one day he would come back to me.

That maybe, just maybe, he would realize he loved me too much to never let school or distance get in the way of what could be.

If you are reading this, I want you to know that I will always care about you. You have set the bar so high for the next guy, that I don't think it is in anyway possible to live up to.

One day, down the road, we might cross paths again. And perhaps then, that will be our time.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
