To The Girls Who Don't Always Get The Guys

Just because society tell you one thing doesn't mean you don't deserve love.

To The Girls Who Don't Always Get The Guys
Max Pixel

Last year, I went on a weekend trip with a school group and we went to Orlando. One of THE BEST trips I've ever gone on. I learned a lot over the weekend and I met new friends, something that doesn't come very easily to me.

I remember it was late Friday night and we were getting ready to go to Disney Springs/Downtown Disney. One of my friends and I went to the restroom because it was getting a little claustrophobic in the little conference room the hotel had us in for the time being. We just sat in the restroom and just talked when all of a sudden, she asked me a completely different question. She asked me if I thought she was pretty. If I thought she'd be desirable. And I responded with of course she is. Inside and out. She's a beautiful girl with an amazing personality. She asked me the question because, like any high school function, you always have those girls and guys. And then you have the girls like us who want the guys but refuse to go through the means "necessary" for girls nowadays. In our age group anyways. Just because we don't want to do those things now means that we are not desirable because that's what the world is telling us.

I wrote this poem for my friend. Beware, it does not rhyme. I'm more of a spoken word!

What is with us?

The girls and guys who have substance and character

Who are not just in it for kicks

Why don't we ever get the girl

Why don't we ever get the guy


Society makes us think we are broken

We are broken because we refuse to show off too much skin

Because we refuse to hook up with another just because every else is doing it

Because we have moral principles and will not throw it all away for one minute, hour, or day of
childish "fun"

We may pick our relationships carefully but that doesn't mean we don't deserve to have them

We are cautious with our hearts because they have been broken

But that doesn't mean we don't deserve relationships. It doesn't mean we don't deserve to love and to be loved

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.
