To The Girl Who Loves So Much It Hurts

That’s who you are, that’s who you will always be.

Although love is not tangible nor visible, you want the world to feel it and see it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that, but make sure you don’t allow yourself to become a victim in the process. Loving is a beautiful and yet oh so painful expression that we all want but you don’t always get what you give.

Your whole life you were taught to put others first and offer all you meet unconditional love. It always felt good to give and give and give until you realized you gave your all and got nothing in return. Not that you were looking for reciprocation or needed reciprocation, but it would be nice once or twice. For a while, you told yourself that your time would come, that karma or some other magical force out there would give you what you deserved, that you’d finally be treated the way you treat others.

But here you are, still waiting but not complaining because mom told you good things come to those who wait. You may ask yourself how long I should wait, how long until my patience run out. Although you will still smile and do as you did before because to do anything else would feel so out of your norm. This is how you have lived your like for 18 plus years, how could you even think of living it any other way? You’ll continue to loan your friend your favorite sweater even though you wanted to wear it, you’ll let him have a fifth second chance and you’ll even give him a sixth. That’s who you are, that’s who you will always be.

Somedays you will hate yourself for being this way and others it will give you that warm fuzzy feeling inside. The only time you will dislike the amount of love you have to offer is when others abuse it. People will take advantage of you and use you because they know you’re too nice to say no to any one of their requests. You never want to let anyone down but is anyone building you up? You want to give your all to everyone but when you give your all what do you have left?

There’s nothing wrong with loving so deeply until the wounds of loving get just as deep. Although your heart is big and has so much to offer, every time you allow someone to take a piece of it, or break it just a little, it begins to become weak. There is no wall you can build around your heart to protect it and no armor to give it strength, but you can be wise when loving.

Continue to share the love you have to offer with the world, but don’t forget to give yourself some love too. Remember to say no if you must, even though it may cause another to be unhappy. Your happiness is just as important as anyone else’s. That being said, don’t just do things for others but for yourself as well. I know giving away your heart comes so naturally, but make sure you save some for yourself.

You are a beautiful person for loving so endlessly, but don’t let the pain of loving be endless, too.

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.
