The majority of my dating life consists of me meeting men that I like, and them taking advantage of my feelings. They all claim that they care, that they have feelings for me too, but they just string me along.

Here’s the thing, I’ve heard every cheesy line and I can sense your bs from a mile away at this point.

Sure there are those one or two guys that I wish would just quit playing games already and stay, and it kills me knowing they are seeing other people after all I’ve done for them. However, I know that if someone has been playing games with me for over a year and a half, they’ll never stop.

Is it funny to you? Is it a pride thing? Do you sit there and get joy from looking me in the eye, telling me you care when you know that the second I leave you won’t call me again until you get lonely. Do you think that I enjoy it? I don’t. You probably don’t even know how many times I’ve gotten mad at myself for giving in and spending time with you.

I know I deserve better, and that you can treat me better if you just tried.

Here’s the bottom line, find yourself a girl like me. Go on out there and try to find someone who will bring you food, drive two hours to come spend time with you, stop everything they are doing and be there for you no matter how many times you hurt them. Those who know me, know I live my life by the “golden rule”, treat others the way you would want to be treated. I try to think about how the other person feels, but I guess that is a dying practice.

Sure, I might still answer the phone and continue to hope and play along with all the games you may try to play, but one day I’ll just stop playing along.

I know I am better than you, that’s just a fact.

I’ll meet someone else who sees me for what I am truly worth, and just like that, I’ll be gone. That day is coming sooner than you realize.

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.
