Why So Secretive

When They Just Don't Care

Why So Secretive

Worse case scenario, your significant other is casually contacting someone saved in their phone as "Bill Collector". This is as low as it gets. Yes, things are rocky. However, relationships are supposed to be built on multiple stairways- how easy it is, how hard it is, how fun it is, what your willing to take or forefeet from etc etc. This time, oh it isn't the case.

We started off easy like a Sunday morning. First kiss- trying to be gentle now- and everything else was in the interim of friendship. Having fun, nothing seriously, I began to think taking chances aren't so bad. The man was a gentleman and still is a innocent man and I've alway been the type to be relaxed and compromising and to understand " no" the first time. But when your deep in, the signs you dismiss in the beginning were signs of free radicalism in the relationship early on.

I'm an advocate- some say I'm obsessive- with Judge Lynn Toler a Divorce Court Judge. During my adulthood I understood, my parents were mostly giving me my freedom or hiding me from it- during my discovery of boys. This led me to attempting to find out what to do on my own. According to Judge Lynn Toler, " Your 20's are about finding yourself, and dropping a man if he doesn't work out for you. Not locking down a dude." I'm here today to let you know this is the case for me.

After finding the mysterious, "Billy Collector" I confronted the man- the man who was so previously kind, smart, and courageous enough to take me on- he explained this as "the contact was saved previously and before he met me under this name."I truly was not bothered by other women having contact with my man; I was upset because the relationship was being hidden. As any person believing they are in a committed relationship, I responded that this situation bothered me. I thought the man I was committed to understood, just change the name of the contact in your phone, and you'd think it was over. You think.

Once the conversation is over, less than 30 days, after you said it bothers you he never changes the name, still "Bill Collector" exist. You know text are missing. As soon as he receives a call from is his best friend on the phone, your man say's, "Your on speaker" and automatically the conversation becomes not so verbal. All theses things, I didn't notice in the beginning. I wil get worse. Which leads me to the bottom line.

DON'T GIVE UP BUT REALIZED WHEN YOU'VE COMPROMISED ENOUGH. I didn't understand this but the issue was never resolved. Ladies I'm here to tell you to take the hint.


Personally, I believe Mrs. Toler's saying about the concept of dropping anyone who isn't good for you is the word. Don't be stuck. And In Beyonces' words, " Just LISTEN." I'll let you know if anything positive comes to this.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
