When You Have Something Good

Hold onto it for dear life.

You know that state of happiness when you just feel like you're on top of the world? Like things are FINALLY going right for you? Like God is finally answering your prayers?

It's like you can't imagine anything or anyone that could make you feel this extent of happiness. You realize how lucky you are and you pray to God that that happiness doesn't get taken away.

Yeah?

Me too.

I'm to the point in my life where I can say I finally found something good. Or rather, someone good.

I met you almost eight months ago. I didn't know you were going to change my whole world, but you somehow managed to. You entered my life when I sent you that first message, and I can't imagine what it'd be like if I never started that first conversation.

At first it was just a normal friendship. But it was also really weird for a NEW friendship. Like you and I talked ALL the time. And I was wondering what you were doing ALL the time. That should've been the first clue, but apparently I'm oblivious.

We went from close friends to dating in a matter of a week. It still seems like just yesterday we started dating; only because time spent with you goes by so quickly. I can never get enough.

You've changed my viewpoints on a variety of things. You've cheered me on when I had absolutely no faith in myself. You reassured me when I felt like my whole world was falling apart. You proved to me you would always have my back and help me pick up the pieces. You've spent day in and day out loving me and I cannot describe just how valuable that is.

I'm a firm believer of whatever happens happens. I'm not naive enough to think all relationships are perfect (much less that breakups don't happen). I've been through heartache, disappointment, manipulation, and people giving up on me. I know the world isn't always fair.

It's always seemed like I put in so much more effort to keep my relationships intact. Which, if you think about it, isn't all that healthy. I ALWAYS put the other person before myself. Always. It's just how I am. When I want something, I want it, and I do everything in my power to keep it.

That's where you come in.

I want you. I want you every night and day for the rest of my life. I want to wake up to your groggy eyes and beautiful smile. I want to have to force you out of bed AFTER all SIX of your irritating alarms go off. I want to hold your hand in the grocery store. I want to kiss you goodnight. I want to be there for you through every up and down life brings you. I want to be your go-to, your ride or die, your best friend, your soulmate. I want to drink wine with you over fancy Italian dinners I prepared. I want to adopt your little fur baby (Lucy) and create a family with you. I want to hold you every time you're lying next to me. I want you to know you always have someone on your side. I want the laughs, the mental breakdowns, the yelling, the fighting, the insanity. I want it all.

But I can skip the fairy tale. All I want is you.

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.
