To My First Love, Here Are All The Things I Never Told You

Dear You,

Thank you. Thank you for showing me what love felt like. I will never forget the time that we shared nor will I ever regret that time.

You entered my life when I was just a fragile 14-year-old. I cannot speak for you, but for me, everything about us was special and delicate.

You were my best friend as well as so much more.

You allowed me to accept myself and learn to love myself. By loving you, I learned how to appreciate and care for other people. I learned how to put somebody else's needs before my own, without forgetting to take care of myself.

Our friendship, as well as our relationship, was never perfect, you know how much 2016 hurt both of us, but no matter what, I could not lose you from my life.

You and I always came back on top, TOGETHER... even if at the time we had been friends only.

I loved you when I was 14, and I chose your happiness in the end, which led to the rocky friendship that we have had since then.

I loved you when I was 14, and I have always had a small piece of myself loving you since then. I miss our conversations, and I miss the time that we spent together.

I may not be in love with you anymore, but you were my first love, and I will always hold you close to my heart because you really truly showed me what it meant to be in love with someone.

I will cherish our time together for the rest of my life, and I will never forget you.

Sincerely,

A Girl Who Has Always Loved 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.
