What I Wish I Could Tell You

You've seen it all and yet, you've stayed.

What I Wish I Could Tell You

There's so many words I wish I could say to you.

I’m not perfect, not even remotely. I constantly need reassurance, confirmation and words of affirmation that people in my life will remain in it. I get anxious about being on time, or when people don’t answer me right away. I worry about stupid things like the fact my mind convinces me that I’ll always be alone, even though I know it can't be true. I put myself down too much but also know I’m made for beautiful and exquisite things.

You know this. You know it all. You’ve seen it all.

I used to think about you from time to time. I still do. Actually, probably more than I should.

You have always told me I deserve the utmost love and kindness in this world. You’ve told me that for so long.

You say I'm the strongest person you know and that I can get through any obstacle.

You've been there from the moment you stepped into my life by the best coincidence, something I will forever be grateful for.

For months I have been staring at the ceiling in the middle of the night, not able to understand why everyone I love leaves. When all along, I didn’t realize you have stayed. Knowing every struggle, every up and down, knowing every single thought I express in my messed up mind you stayed.

I want you to stay, always.

I wish you could see the way I look at you. The way my face lights up when I hear your name or see your name on the front screen of my phone.

I wish you knew how amazing you are. That you don’t just tell me how amazing I am, you tell everyone because everyone should be told something beautiful about themselves.

You are the speck of light on a cloudy day that everyone wants to see.

I wish you knew I’d fall in love with you as quickly as rain pours in April.

It would be easy to fall for you, and an incredible honor.

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.
