You Don't Need Someone Who Doesn't Need You

It's time to be a little selfish and do what's best for you.

Love is a really hard thing.

It has its up’s and it has its downs and sometimes you just need to do what is right for you. You have to stop thinking about what is best for everyone else and do what is best for you. This is a time where it is okay to be selfish. Do what makes you feel good and do what you want to do. This is your time to explore your newfound freedom and get over that guy who didn’t realize what he had.

This is your time and your time to rediscover yourself. Getting your heart broken is a terrible feeling, but you can grow from it.

You can take a step back for a second and evaluate the good and the bad of that past relationship. You can see what everyone else saw that you refused to believe. You can see that you can do so much better and owe it to yourself to not settle for less. That boy doesn’t deserve you, and you sure as hell shouldn’t be waiting around for him to come back to you. If he didn’t care to see you go, there probably won't be anything that's different the next time.

It’s time to do what is best for you and move on from that boy that didn’t deserve you. The saying “You don’t need someone who doesn’t need you” is 100% true.

Why do you want to be with someone who doesn’t value you? Or respect you? Or think you are the greatest thing that has ever walked this Earth? You don’t.

You deserve to be with someone who thinks that you are the best thing since donuts and will be there for you through the good and the bad. You don’t need someone who is going to run away at the first sign of a rough patch or someone who will give up on something so great just because they got scared and didn’t value you. If they can throw something so great away, ask yourself why you should be putting up with that. The answer is you shouldn't because you are so much more than that. You have way more to offer than he does and it's his loss babe, not yours.

So, take this advice as you will, but you deserve more than the boy who picks partying over you. You deserve to be selfish and spend the time doing what’s best for you after spending so much time trying to make him happy. You deserve to be the best you that you can possibly be, on your own. You deserve to be happy and nothing less.

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.
