To The New Guy In My Life

Be patient with me, I might be a little broken.

To The New Guy In My Life
Ben White

To The New Guy,

Welcome to my life.

I just want you to know that I am damaged, I have a rough history, and my life hasn't been so great recently. I hope all of my baggage and problems don't scare you away. Most people say that I'm too much to handle. You have had a fair warning for everything that is bound to happen.

Please don't judge me for my past,
Please don't expect so much from me,
Please accept me as I am.

I'm a healing human being,
I've been hurt a lot recently.
Not only is my mind a battlefield, but my body is always in pain too.

I will always try to keep up with you with the dogs, the walks, the family.
Please be patient with me.

Some days are good, some days are bad.
Somedays I feel like I could conquer anything, and other days I could just roll over and sleep forever.

My heart is guarded by an impossible maze and thick walls.
Please understand that everything has gone sour for me.

I've had quite a few bruises,
Please don't be alarmed when I flinch.

I don't normally like being touched,
Please don't think I don't like you.

I usually squeeze the life out of anything good in my life.
Please don't get overwhelmed.

I often linger,
Please don't get annoyed.

I used to have such a passion for life,
But you already know that story.

I prayed for better days,
And God has big plans for all of us.

I am afraid to open up,
But I'm more afraid to be played again.

I have such a great fear of meeting new people,
Please don't run away.

Loyalty is a rare quality nowadays.
Please don't let me down.

I get awfully intense,
Please don't think there is a lot of pressure.

You don't have to stick around,
But please don't lead me on.

I am going to apologize already,
Because I know I am a little too much.

Know that you make me smile and laugh.
And that is all I can ask for.

Thank you for being part of my life.

From, a broken/struggling/revived girl.

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.

I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
