To My First Love, It's Time For You To Give Me My Heart Back

To the men and women who break our hearts, you have no right coming back into our lives after we have healed.

"Oh sweetheart, we did more then just kiss."

"Haha, he said that? No, I f**ked him 3 times"

How can the worst text message you ever receive you in your life, be also the best?

You cheated on me. You killed some of the best parts of me and stole some of the best memories of my life. We were over a year together then the first girl came into our lives. I had just moved off to college and as I was attempting to learn the Arabic language and suffering with kidney issues, you were expressing your frustration of the distance with someone else. You slept with someone else. The fact, that killed me. And hearing you say that to me after she told me, left me frozen in place. Stuttering the same words over and over again. I wasn't just heart broken. I was lost. You were my everything. My...my first love. We spent two proms, graduation together, friends dying, college acceptance...you lived through every best and every painful moment with me. We fell in love again for God together. And talked about marriage and how we would wait.

But, then all that happened. I was lost. So, what did I do? I stayed with what felt comfortable. I put bandages over my broken heart and kept my head down. If someone were to ask me how many times you cheated one me, I could not tell you and honest number.

You would cheat.

And I would stay.

You'd cheat and I would push it off.

I kept staying and accepting the fact that this, the cheating, the manipulation, the lies was the best love I would get. Until the day I had enough. The day that I came home to the dorms, and tore off everything of yours off my wall. I was done. It was time to rip off the bandage that I had laid on my wounds to forget about you.

I gave you back your heart that day. I was done.

Do not call, "Hey aren't so and so ex?" or, "You're so and so girl". He didn't owe me. I was never his to label. So, why after all this time do you still have this sort of possession over me?

It is time for you to give me back my heart.

You have a girlfriend. Yet, after all these years you still hit me up. Stop. Stop telling me that it has always been me. That I am the one. Stop spending all day calling me and messaging me. It is not only ridiculous, but hurts. You have someone new. And I am just done. Done with feeling like your property. Done.

Stop saying you want to marry me. Stop having your friends message me. Or, attempting to get to me through my family.

To the men who broke our hearts, you have no right to come back into our lives after we are healed.

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.
