To The Man Who Loves Me Next, I'm Sorry

I’m not easy to love, and for that I’m sorry.

To you, the one who will right all his wrongs, the one who will sweep me off my feet. Whoever you are, thank you because the moment you walk into my life every ache my heart has ever felt will fade into the darkness. I should warn you that I will fail you…a lot. I will overreact about insignificant things and I’ll push you to your limits. There may be times where I drive you crazy and you wonder how you’ll ever deal with me.

I’m not easy to love, and for that I’m sorry. I hope you’re patient, honest, loving, and kind because that’s exactly what I need. I’ve dealt with my fair share of selfish people and my heart can’t take it anymore. I need someone as selfless as I am, someone who is willing to put me first sometimes. I need your patience and reassurance, no matter how annoying I become, I need it.

I’m sorry I can’t hand you my trust on a silver platter. I’m sorry someone stole my ability to jump head first, all in from the very start. I had to learn the hard way that not everyone deserves your love, so I’m hesitant to ever give it to someone again.

I’m sorry there will be times I pull away from you for, shutting myself down for no reason. I’m sorry I’ll change a song because I can’t deal with the pain it brings me. I’m sorry I’ll shut down when we argue out of fear that you’ll leave me.

I’m sorry you’ll see me wince when I hear his name and see the pain register on my face when the thought of him lingers in my mind. I’m sorry that there will be days where you question if I’m over him or not, I know that thought will dance across your mind and it will hurt. I’m so sorry.

I’m sorry that I’ll get jealous. You’re so amazing that I want you all to myself and after dealing with dishonesty and cheating; I’ll always be protective of what’s mine.

I’m sorry that I’m sensitive. The biggest problem that comes with having a heart as big as mine is the fact that my feelings get hurt…a lot. There will be times that I break down and cry, sometimes over nothing, I’m sorry.

I’m sorry that when you tell me you love me, I might be hesitant. My love has been used, abused and taken advantage of, and it’s taken a toll on my heart. Those three magic words have fallen from dishonest lips and fallen hard against the pavement.

I hope your soul can see past all the pain in mine, a kind soul who never sees my wrongdoings and experiences as a disability. I don’t need you to fix me, just hold me while I fix myself.

I hope you know I never do anything halfway, so when I love you, it’ll be with every ounce of my heart and soul. I’ve even been told I’m “too much” for people, too much love, too much passion, too many words. I will never dull myself for someone else again because I will be just enough for you. I know it.

I can’t wait to love 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.
