To The Boy Who Thought He Broke My Heart

My feelings for you were mere eye candy

To The Boy Who Thought He Broke My Heart

To the boy who thought he broke my heart,

I still remember the first time I met you. You were chopping some lettuce, helping out in the house we were eating dinner at. I thought that was adorable, after all I was taught to always help around. Every time I go to that house I help serve the food and bring the dirty plates to the sink, and when I saw you doing something similar, I thought to myself that you were an extremely sweet and cute guy. Your face didn’t hurt either, and that moment I thought you were boyfriend material. I mean, a nice Jewish guy who is also good looking? #score

I wanted to get to know you, to get closer to you. We didn’t speak often but when we did I felt that I was getting to know you better. You told me a few things that I rather have not heard but I still wanted to talk more. Then you asked me on a date, and I was extremely excited. I even had three friends helping me pick the right outfit. You know? The kind of outfit that looks good, but it is trying to show that I didn’t try at all when in reality I tried an awful lot?

It was a good date, but it was not the kind of dates I would go on again. It was fun, we talked a lot (mainly about you because that is something you do really well) and then you walked me home. Such a gentleman! We saw each other one more time that week, and then you disappear. More like you started dating multiple girls in one week, and I realized that there was nothing between us.

After that, you avoided me a little bit. You would say hi to me, but you wouldn’t actually make the effort to carry on a conversation. You make it so awkward, so uncomfortable when for me it was something irrelevant. I did think you were nice looking. Okay, I thought you were really good looking, but my feelings for you were mere eye candy. Those are not even feelings. But I did feel used and a little offended; I was mad that you didn’t want me, I was mad how you treated me, and I was mad that I still wanted you to pay attention to me. Thankfully that feeling went away after a couple of days.

We have talked more lately, I guess because our situation was so long ago. We talked a couple of times and I even opened up about this guy. You felt that I was sad about us not working out, that I was talking about you. But how can I be upset after one date, one meaningless date, and when no real feelings involved? How can I be upset when the picture I had of you being the perfect boy was far from who you really are?

Whatever happened between us was meaningless, a one-time thing. I promise you that I didn’t eat an entire pint of ice cream while I watched a soppy chick flick so I can cry my eyeballs out and forget about you. I promise I didn’t burn pictures of you and I didn’t buy a voodoo doll that looks like you. I learned from you treating me badly, and I won’t let any other boy treat me like that. I would not let any other boy think he has my heart when he doesn't even deserve it.

Boy who thought he broke my heart -- we can still be friends. And I don’t mean it in a we-broke-up-lets-be-friends kind of lie boys tell girls when they end things; I really mean it. But please, do not think for a second that you broke my heart. You didn’t even get to have a piece of it.

Without love,
Orly

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.
