You made me feel that I wasn't enough when in reality you just never saw my potential. You never cared about my growth as a person you were too focused on yourself. You didn't have to be so selfish, you could have tried to build me up the way I built you up. You didn't love yourself so you made it impossible for me to love you. Once I found people who actually love me I realized how detrimental you were to my health. You didn't care whether I was having a good day or a bad day, you just wanted me there for your convenience. You didn't care about me at all actually, whether I got home okay or if I was having a bad day.

You only wanted to focus on yourself but that gave you no right to break me in the process. You could have done that and told me you weren't ready, but you tried to convince yourself you were ready and you hurt me so terribly. But that's okay, for we live in a generation where hurting people is okay, it's a way of life. I just wish I didn't have to fail victim to your childish ways. Real men own up to what they want they don't deceive people and hurt them just to realize that person wasn't enough. People need to figure out themselves first before they go and damage other people just to figure out that they weren't enough. I knew I was enough and I was more than enough. People make excuses just to treat people terribly and it's disgusting. If you don't know what you want stay single until you figure it out, no need to break kind people because you're indecisive.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
