To The Jerk That Played with My Head

You pretended to care, I pretended I didn't.

All my friends told me not to message you back. They all said you were a ….. let’s go with jerk. But I didn’t want to be someone that judged people off of what they heard about them. So I messaged you back. First mistake.

Dang, you tried so hard a first. Even when whenever I replied to you I would think in my head “just sound kinda rude. Don’t be too nice.” You told me most of the right things. Tried to tell me how much you weren’t like everyone said you were. First lie.

As time went on I got soft. I started to believe that maybe you weren’t as bad as everyone said. I knew that I was wrong, but you started to get in my head. With all of the “good morning” texts, and telling me that I was beautiful, I started to think you could mean it. Silly me.

I never wanted to care if you texted or called me. I never intended to care at all. And even though I always told you that I never thought about you as more than a friend. That was a lie. I did think about it even though I didn’t want to. I started to care more than I wanted to. Second mistake.

You got mad because I wouldn’t say that I had feelings for you. But I just couldn’t. I couldn’t put it all out there while in my heart I knew that I couldn’t trust you. I knew that there was no way you weren’t the guy everyone said you were. I couldn’t take the risk on you. So I lied. You got mad. And that was it.

You wanted me to trust you. You wanted me to throw caution to the wind. In the end you just threw me to the side. I was right about you. I knew I was right. You tried to say that I was judging you. That I just needed to give you a chance. When what I really needed to do was run the other way. I won’t make that mistake again. Trust me.

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.
