You were my blessing and my curse

You were my blessing and my curse

It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply. You notice the slightest changes in how your partner behaves and what they say. The way he says your name isn’t the same, the way he looks at you isn’t the same… the love you once felt isn’t the same. Stuck. Confused. Hurt and bruised your heart and ego are on a mend. Where do I begin? How do I begin to pick up the pieces of my hopes, dreams, and aspirations for you and I? For you and I to soar and float through this life unaware of our surroundings… as I am all the scenery, beauty, and escapades you will ever need for the rest of your days… so I prayed. I prayed for you to see me as the woman of your dreams, everything you ever wanted to see and feel... both physically and emotionally I so wanted to be everything you could ever want and need. All the while I was neglecting me. Forgetting to find me in trying to find you. Losing me trying to love you. You were both a blessing and a curse. You blessed me with your light and your ample grin. With so many beautiful conversations I can’t fathom where to begin... You cursed me with your loneliness and dark ways, I tried so hard to shield your heart and give you better days so I stayed… and I prayed. Our romance should’ve danced and twirled for an eternity. I always dreamt of you holding me. We had an exchange of hearts and minds. Plans that should’ve lasted a lifetime. But I believe our time was spent and it was coming to an end.

You were both my blessing and my curse and a little piece of heaven here on earth.

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.
