When Someone Walks Out Of Your Life, Leave Them Out

"When someone walks out of your life, let them. There's no use in wasting your time on people that leave you. What you make of yourself and your future is no longer tied to them. Yeah, you may miss them, but remember that you weren't the first one to give up."

When Someone Walks Out Of Your Life, Leave Them Out

Recently, someone who left me like I was nothing tried to come back into my life. At one point, I thought that was what I wanted. I thought, more than anything I wanted them back in my life. But when I got their text something changed, I was infuriated. I could not believe that they had the decency to text me. How could they, after months of not texting me try to come back into my life?

I woke up the morning before they texted me and I had finally felt a peace. I felt good with my life and the decisions I had made up until that day. Then I got that text and my world turned upside down. I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart because of course a part of me still cares about them, right? But I realized something, I felt peace that morning right? I was happy without them in my life.

If I go back to where I was before they left me, I would go back to being miserable. I would go back to where they would be picking someone else over me, never having enough time for me, and feeling like I was worthless. I’m better than that. I don’t deserve to feel like I am nothing.

I have a friend in my life now that treats me like I deserve to be treated. Who has a boyfriend and still has time for me. Who wants to be my friend and didn’t have to take a break from me to realize what they had before. I do not need them in my life anymore, and I hate to say it but I don’t want them in my life anymore. I want nothing more than happiness for them, but I can’t sacrifice my happiness for theirs anymore.

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.
