To Boy In The Cafeteria,

Thank you for the memories.

When I first met you, I never expected to have so many memories with you. I thought I would just coast through senior year living through the same routine with the same friends from before. Wind River gave me a family during the first semester; a best friend during the second. Honestly, I didn’t think it was possible to go on as many food runs as we did during that year. We were broke, but hey, at least we had each other. I never thought that I would see you in the front seat of my car nearly every Tuesday and every Thursday, I was so content simply existing next to you. I didn’t care what we did, I just loved your company and the memories that came with. Thank you.

Thank you for the laughter.

Let me be the first to tell you, I did not think that a single human could make me laugh as much as you. Every comment from you was something so unexpected; I loved it. I loved having someone to laugh at me and I loved having someone to laugh with me. Your laughter was contagious. It was my sunshine, even on the darkest of days. I never thought I would be the girl to laugh so hard at the smallest things, and I am so grateful that you have shown me how to. Thank you.

Thank you for your patience.

I am an over thinker, and I’m sure you know that. But you didn’t care, because you’d still sit with me; you’d still try to understand. I’d call you and text you an infinite number of times in one night, and you were still patient with me I would mess up the words that were a sad failure of a story, and you would comfort me through that. I am absolutely certain that there were times when I looked like a complete fool trying to piece together a story. You would hear me out; you would show an unbelievable amount of patience. Thank you.

Thank you for your love.

Love can be such a scary concept to most people, regardless of the intentions. It’s something I thought everyone else had adapted to, and I was not one of them. But you showed me that love isn’t something to be afraid of. You showed me that love was gentle, and you showed me that love was kind. You showed me the importance of loving and the importance of being loved in return. Learning how to love was one of the biggest moments in my life. Thank you.

Thank you for the feeling you give me.

No one has ever made me feel such a powerful emotion before. When I'm with you, I am filled with the universe; I am filled with stardust. My stomach becomes a butterfly pavilion, and my heart races. You have made me feel so beautiful, so lovely. My heart has only grown fonder with affection during every interaction. Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I don’t know where the future will take us, but I’m very hopeful that I always have you. In one school year, I never thought that someone that I met in the middle of the cafeteria could have the potential to be so important to me. I have learned so much from what you have given me; I’ve learned so much from what you have shown me. You have been such an unexpected blessing in my life. I am so incredibly proud to know a friend with such a beautiful heart and such a beautiful mind. You were, are, and will forever be everything to me

Thank you.

For everything and so much more.


Sincerely,

The Girl In The Cafeteria.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
