To The Boy I “Dated” In College, One-Sided Love Is A Real Thing

Maybe saying you were just a friend definitely did not help the situation.

Hello, fancy seeing you here.

How are you? It’s been awhile since we’ve talked to each other. How long has it been? Almost a year? Not to sound sappy but I really do miss you. We were already two weeks into the semester when you came into class with your long-board and looked right at me. Maybe I started liking you at that moment but it didn’t occur to me.

You truly were my best friend but how oblivious you were during that time you didn’t realize that I was falling for you. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t help the situation. Maybe saying you were just a friend definitely did not help the situation.

That night you told me that you finally met someone at a party, I could have handled the situation differently but this kind of situation was all too familiar to me. I was hurt not specifically by you but by me for not telling you and missing my opportunity to tell you how I feel.

I fell for that smile that laughed at every one of my jokes. I fell for you during that time I first saw you cry. I fell for you when I heard you sing that first note of “Say Something” but apparently I was the only one stumbling and falling. Maybe it was me who jumped the gun and that led to misunderstandings.

You liked her but you always texted me. You said she made you nervous but you said you felt most comfortable around me. You didn’t talk to her, but with me, we stayed out late talking during the coldest degrees. One-sided love is a real thing and it hurts more when someone else is not actually in the relationship along with you. It felt as if I was the only one who actually cared about what we had.

I lost more than just a crush but a best friend that day as well. I thought that was only going to happen if I told you how I truly felt. I waited for you to text me back but I never did get a response. I was afraid of what you might say. So that’s how it ended. My pride was too strong to text you back.

I guess I just misunderstood what all these things meant to you and me. It’s not the first time that this has happened to me honestly but something about you has really left a mark on me and I want some closure.

I highly doubt you will read this or even know that I am writing this about you. I’d like to think that this letter is me finally ending things with you. If by chance you read this there’s just one thing I’d like. Let’s sit down and have a cup of coffee and catch up if you don’t really mind. Trust me, I promise this time there will be no feelings attached.

Sincerely,

Me

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.
