If you're too busy worrying about each boy hurting you, you may miss out on the one who never stops loving you.

Don't Let One Boy Ruin It For The Rest, You May Miss Out On The Man Of Your Dreams
Megan Aaron

Read the title one more time. I know. It's easier said than done, but I'm serious.

One boy may break your trust. He may cheat on you. He may lie to you, deceive you, lust for you (not love you), twist the way you see yourself, completely ghost you, talk down to you, call you names, hurt you emotionally, verbally, and maybe even physically (though I hope it doesn't get to that point).

All of those things break apart a person, and demand of you to put walls up. And I get it. I've been there and done that very thing. I had walls up for a while. Heck if any guy tried to talk to me I was most definitely sassy back and closed off. But that's not fair.

I'm not telling you to not guard your heart. No, guard your heart for the world because it is so precious. But you can't live life automatically placing the same judgment on every boy solely based on your past broken relationship. You can't approach every new conversation with a boy closed off and already believing they will hurt you. Because if you do have that pre-conceived notion already, you might miss out on a different boy.

You might miss out on a man.

The boy who keeps his word and proves it in his actions. The boy who lifts you up, encourages you, inspires you, and never ever makes you doubt. The boy who makes you want to tell him everything.

If you're too busy worrying about each boy hurting you, you may miss out on the one who never stops loving you.

Live life unapologetically. Guard your heart, but open yourself up to new beginnings. New friendships. New opportunities. Stop letting one boy ruin it for the rest.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
