We Accept The Love We Think We Deserve

We just deserve more than we know.

We Accept The Love We Think We Deserve

We all know what developing a crush is like:

Girl meets Boy. Girl likes Boy. Boy starts to notice Girl. Girl tries her hardest to make Boy fall head-over-heels for her. Boy does not reciprocate the feelings. Girl is crushed...until she spies a new Boy. Cycle starts over.

But what about those times where that tired, old cycle gets broken?

Not with "Boy actually likes Girl, they fall madly in love, get married, make babies, die in each other's arms". No, but that does happen (not often, sadly).

I'm talking about the times when the boy decides to play along with the girl's feelings, bring her in really close, make her feel the love she's always wanted, and then push her away without warning. The Almost Lovers, if you will.

It's sad that relationships nowadays have been so skewed from what they used to be, no one really understands what real love is. We are all just searching for that one person whom we know we can trust our deepest, darkest secrets with, that one person who will be there at the end of the day with good vibes and cuddles, that one person who we know won't leave or betray us, no matter what goes on in their lives.

But for a good majority of us that does not exist. Maybe it's our self-esteem issues or our family's issues or whatever, but one thing is for certain:

We accept the love we think we deserve.

Girls, we deserve the love described above.

We deserve someone who will text us "Good morning, beautiful" each day and "Good night, my love" every evening (or someone next to us actually saying the words in person).

We deserve someone who will make sure our well-being is taken care of, as well as our souls and every single, itty bitty, teeny tiny speck of us, because they love all of us.

We deserve the random flowers or random love notes, just because (WE ARE WORTH IT).
We deserve to be shown off in public, not to be pushed aside or to be told they're ashamed of us (alternatively, if they admit they're ashamed of you, please leave before you begin thinking about changing yourself; you are already an amazing, awesome, beautiful person and WILL find your one! ♥).

We deserve someone who compliments us, not fully completes us (because we are already complete!).

I know many of you are reading this and still thinking about giving up on love or relationships.

You've been burned one too many times, and just want to throw in the towel.

Please, don't. Give it one last shot. It will be so worth it in the end.

You'll meet that special someone, fall madly in love, and spend eternity in their arms.

Not quitting will be so worth it. Pinky Promise.

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.
