An Open Letter To My Ex...
https://www.pexels.com/photo/couple-photo-2169425/

All I can say is thank you. You showed me that I was weak. You showed me that I needed to better myself. You treated me so badly and I still stayed. You'd go out and do whatever you wanted to do, then show me the minimum amount of affection just when you "had time". You took advantage of the fact that I don't like to fight. You knew you could do or say whatever you wanted and I'd never leave because I just didn't want to fight.

All the nights I spent crying over you because you hurt me and we both knew that you didn't care. You never cared. All the ignored phone calls and texts that proved to everyone you didn't care and just made me look like a fool. You lied to me so many times. You'd go 11+ hours not talking to me because you got mad at someone else and had nothing to do with me. I blamed myself for everything and took the fault for everything and you allowed me to do that. You never made me feel better or reassured me that things weren't my fault or that everything was going to be ok.

One day I finally had a enough and built up enough courage to break up with you and that was the best decision I ever made. I gained so much confidence in myself. I ended up falling in love with someone I can be myself with and not worry about what they're doing or if we are going to fight just because I disagreed with one little thing. You begged time and time again to have me back. All of a sudden you started to be so sweet and promise me the world, but why couldn't you do that when we were together? Then you started to call me beautiful. Then you started to say how sorry you were.

Fast forward a year and 4 months later, you sent me an essay through text saying how much you miss me and how much I mean to you. You went on to say that you still "love" me (which for the record I don't think you ever did) and said how our relationship was perfect; it was everything you wanted. Our relationship was far from perfect. It was toxic. You just like the fact that I let everything slide and you could continue to be immature. Not to mention, you have a girlfriend who has a ring on her finger. I really hope you don't treat her the way you treated me because no one deserves that.

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.
