To The Girl That Had His Heart Before Me

You despise her, and in your case, you despise me.

To The Girl That Had His Heart Before Me
Favim

There isn’t a doubt in my mind that you are going to read this. The way social media works nowadays, it is hard to keep anything a secret, right? Well, here it goes.

I am obviously an ex-girlfriend myself. I get it. I know that feeling when you refresh your Instagram feed and all those rumors you heard are really the truth. She has a picture of them together and a cute caption and you get that pit in your stomach that goes to your throat.

You immediately despise her. And in your case, you despise me. I read the tweets and heard about what you thought of me, and I know it was out of spite. Again, I get it. You played a major role in his life, and I never in a million years could replace you or the time you spent with him. I would never want to. But even if you feel like it all was wasted time, it wasn’t.

I have been in your position. You think you are with the guy that you want to be with for a really long time, and then everything is just over in the blink of an eye. You question what you could have done differently or when it went all wrong. But what I have learned, and I am sure you have too, is that it’s not worth thinking about anymore. Your time together and those memories are something no one can ever replace.

You don’t ever have to like me. I don’t ever have to like you. My words aren’t asking for anything but respect. I respect you, and I have never jeopardized your time with him. I know in my heart I am not the reason your relationship failed. I am not that type of person and deep down in your heart, I think you know why you both went your separate ways.

Just know I care so much about him. No, I do not have to justify myself to you or anyone else, but I am the type of person who will flat out just tell you about something.

Again, as an ex-girlfriend, I get it. The feelings, the pit in your stomach and the envy you have expressed. It just shows you care.

But I am here to tell you that I care. I try every day to show him how lucky I am to have him because I know life can just happen. Forever? Come on, we are young and have our whole lives to settle down. Obviously, I cannot guarantee anything at this point, but I can promise that I wouldn’t be with him if he didn’t make me the happiest I have ever been.

As someone who has been in your position before, I would have loved to hear this.

I wish you nothing but the best and a lifetime full of happiness.

Sincerely,

The girl who finally spoke up

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.
