To The Next Boy I Give My Heart To

Be gentle. It's breakable.

As the new school year is underway and after the summer romances have faded I just have a few things I’d like to say to the next boy that waltzes into my life.

Dear Boy,

Well if you’ve made it this far you’re obviously doing well. If I have given my heart to you then you have rightfully earned it but please, I beg of you, just be gentle. Like most hearts this one has been broken, more than once and entirely too easily. I just ask, since you’re holding it for now, that if and when you set it down you gingerly return it rather than throw it full force to the floor. Treat it like treasure because it is.

I do not mean to sound conceded but if you have my heart you have a lot. You have my loyalty, my attention, my affection, my interest and my dedication.These are things that I do not freely give away, they are things of value. Please treat these gifts as such and, I promise, you will not regret the love you receive in return.

Now that we’ve established that I just want to remind you of a few things. Caring for someone in words and caring for someone in actions are two totally different things. Any boob can say they care about someone, can call me pretty, can say I’m amazing and what not -- but showing that they believe these things, now that’s a whole different animal. Just know that I would prefer to be shown that you care about me. Take the time to learn about me, my likes and dislikes, my goals, my dreams. Genuinely showing interest in my life makes all the difference in the world because it shows that you care. Small gestures day to day are the key to my heart. Just knowing my favorite flowers (*cough, cough* Gerber daisies) is a sure way to gain points. So just show an interest, that’s all I ask.

I’m like a succulent plant in that I am low maintenance. I do not require frequent water or hyper-specific climate conditions. All I require is a little bit of TLC, every now and then, to satisfy my basic needs. Take care of me and through my prickles and tough outer skin, I will bloom when the time is right. You have my heart now give it a little love.

Thanks In Advance,

Succulent 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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. 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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
