YOU'RE A HARD HABIT TO BREAK

An Open Letter From The One You Let Get Away!

64
YOU'RE A HARD HABIT TO BREAK
Angela Walton- Tybee Island

I never saw you coming! A simple "Hello" that lead to countless adventures, laugher, and love.

We both had cuts and scars from shattered pieces of our past but all Hero's do; with God, time, and each other came healing. We embraced our yesterdays while letting God control our tomorrow.

I'm not sure anyone is ever "completely" ready but over time you have unknowingly started a spark in me that turned into a fire. You have made me feel alive again. You have made me feel more excited then afraid. The day has come that I'm ready to take a risk at love. It has become clear that you are not.

I know there will be moments and maybe even days that it will hurt to have walked away from the fantasy of how things could have been, but it will never compare to the heartache of staying stuck in a dream. Today my eyes have been washed by the tears and I have a clearer view again. Moving forward doesn't make me bitter or cynical about love. Instead it makes me grateful and hopeful realizing that if I gave so much in the wrong relationship how beautiful it will be when the right one comes around.

One day when you look back I hope you see me; the girl who wasn't perfect but tried to be for you. The girl who wanted nothing more than to be there for you looking past the flaws you focused on and embracing the strengths you couldn't see. The girl that fought to stay even when you didn't fight to keep her.

I am forever thankful for your part in my journey! F. Scott Fitzgerald said it best "There are all types of love in this world but never the same love twice".

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.
