To The Girl Before Me

I never knew I could appreciate a stranger, but I do.

"Thank you!" was the first thing I thought of when you came to mind. You don't know me and I don't know you, but I'm thankful for you. It's funny how a stranger can be thankful for someone they never met. I don't hate you nor do I envy you, I just simply appreciate you for losing a guy so special.

Maybe your relationship was once the best thing in your life at one point. You both were so happy and everything was great. I'm thankful for that as well, because he experienced everything you are that I am not. He loves who I am, which is everything you are not. That's why we fit so perfectly together. So thank you for being everything opposite of me.

Thanks for being so quite and taken aback, because now he's with a loud free spirit. Thanks for being so "organized" because now he appreciates my spontaneity! Thank you for being such a goody-goody because that has made him love that I stand for what I believe in. Most importantly, I appreciate that you had no idea how to love him sufficiently. Now he knows what it feels like to be adored from head to toe, to his heart through his soul.

You probably now know what you let slip through your hands! Now that you see that gorgeous smile, that once glanced at you, strike in my direction. You now long for his voice, but it no longer speaks your name. I'm so thankful that what slipped for you, I caught. I had no idea I was going to find my soul mate, but isn't that when you do? When you aren't looking? You may have been his first in a lot of things, but nothing beats being his last! What you thought you had and promised you'd be is now what I get to be for him! I am forever grateful for that! You losing him changed my life and gave him his.

So, thank you for being you. You, which isn't what he wanted, but is what some one else is looking for. I am grateful your relationship with him fell through or else I wouldn't have found the man of my dreams. I am sure there is someone out there for you that just isn't my fish and I do hope that you find your Prince Charming just as I have. I have no hard feelings at all toward you. I'm just so glad you're the worst thing he ever had.

Thank 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.
