For all the girls who think they're clingy or weird for being themselves.

There is nothing wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with giving all of your love to someone or something. There is nothing wrong with being passionate. Driven. Understanding. Compassionate. Generous.

You are not clingy. You are not creepy or crazy or psycho or insane.

You're just you.

It's hard loving someone more than they love you.

There's no rule that says you have to take it slow. No guard pushing you back from the edge, telling you that you're not allowed to jump into deep water and love someone with all you have.

They always tell you not to pour all of yourself because you'll wind up empty. No one tells you it's okay to be empty.

It's okay to be you. It's okay to love too much.

People need to be loved forcefully. They need to be loved without compromise. They need to be loved violently. With all your strength and might.

It's scary. It's scary loving someone so hard and so much.

But that's the point.

Being with someone is scary. Caring is scary.

Loving is scary. But when you love someone and you love so much, you love the ugliest parts of them. You love their scars and their skeletons. Their stories and experiences become yours. And you never run out of love for them.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins. When you love someone you are loyal, expect the best of them, believe in them.

Your love is not suffocating. It's not annoying. People have to be shown that they are deserving of love; deserving of your love, regardless of what has happened to them in the past. Love is hard. So damn hard.

But for you, someone who never seems to run out of love to give, love is special. You're special. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. What you have to offer is incredible and most people don't have the opportunity to ever experience the kind of love you have to give.

"They say love knows no bounds. I don't know about that. I feel like I've seen the bounds and pushed them a couple of times. Love definitely has bounds. I've seen where it ends."

So love fearlessly. Push the boundaries. And don't be afraid to love too hard. There's no reason to treat your love like a currency. There's no reason to be cheap or a penny-pincher when it comes to love.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Loving too hard and too much is not weird.

It's what makes you, you.

And we should celebrate it.

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.
