True Love Is Unconditional, Not On And Off

No one blatantly says, "I love you, but...", but it's revealed through actions.

True Love Is Unconditional, Not On And Off

When people say "I love you," do they say anything else?

Nothing comes after that, just "I love you." No one says "I love you because..." or "I love you, but..."

It's just "I love you."

Why, then, do we accept conditional love? Why do we allow people to step on us and love us for what we can give them?

I've made that mistake several times. I've been with people who treated me like a queen when I was happy. However, as soon as a depressive episode hit, they were gone, just like that.

Moments like that stick with you for a long time. They hurt. Everyone wants to have someone by their side who will love them no matter the circumstances. Luckily, I've found that person, but it took a lot of heartbreak to get there.

A lot of people spend years dating people who don't love them for who they truly are. They love parts of you, but not all of you. You need to find someone who loves every single part of you, even the parts that you hate.

College is a time to do whatever you want. You can pursue a serious relationship. You can pursue a casual relationship. Maybe you don't want to date at all and want to just focus on academics. Whatever you decide to do for your love life in college, make sure you remember your worth.

True love isn't conditional. There's no such thing as love with limits. You deserve the best.

No one blatantly says, "I love you, but...", but it's revealed through actions. Maybe they ignore you when you're talking about something exciting. Maybe they only seem to enjoy spending time with you when you act a certain way.

There are no "buts" in true love. Our quirks and flaws are what make us special.

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.
