I'll Be Someone's Everything One Day, But Today, I'm Everything To Myself

Time is the only way of showing us what really matters.

I'll Be Someone's Everything One Day, But Today, I'm Everything To Myself
Lexi Schroeder

I'd consider myself a lover.

I love the feeling of having a significant other I can count on. I'm a very independent person, but it's nice to know you have someone you can send a text to or call to come over when you're feeling down or simply just want to lie in bed and watch a movie with.

Although, lately, I've been trying to figure out what's right for me regarding love/dating people. I've been in two serious relationships, one in high school and one almost a year ago. My first one lasted a year and 11 months and my last one was a year and six months. If I'm being 100 percent honest, in my last serious one, I thought that was it. I really did picture myself with him for the rest of my life.

I was happy, enjoyed being with him, and loved showing him off.

Ultimately, we didn't work out and things ended. I truly experienced the worst heartbreak of my life. Fast forward ten months and here I am still single and living a great life.

I tried a relationship a few months back because I felt like I was longing for one. I realized I wasn't all in and I wasn't as into him as I thought. We ended things after a month and that's when I became aware that I can't rush things and the next relationship I'll be in must be with someone I can give my all to.

Since my breakup last May, I've had points where I thought I maybe have met my next boyfriend.

But unfortunately, those ended in my heart being broken once again because they were either not ready for something or we simply didn't communicate what we wanted.

I'm only 21 years old and have my whole life to find someone. I've come to terms that the best things in life happen unexpectedly... so I've had to convince myself to not get my hopes up even though it's hard. Some could say I'm living my best life right now and to an extent, I agree.

Someday, I'll be able to share my success and happiness with someone who's invested in me just as much as I'm invested in them.

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.
