University of Dayton - MyLife

To my sweetheart

To start with, I've been rather busy these past couple of weeks with papers and such. Who knew that getting good grades in school meant that you have to read countless hours and study night and day? On a different approach then I usually do I would like to dedicate this blog to a young lady that means the world to me.

My girlfriend Catherine completes me and makes me who I am today. Throughout this past semester as well as last semester she has helped me through several difficult periods. She has helped me study for my GRE's as well as helped me write papers. There is seemingly no limit to how helpful and magnificent this girl is. We have been going out for the past 7 months and although we surely had our ups and downs, the majority of our relationship has been splendid. I used to be leery about dating people because I felt that it could only end in problems. My mentality was that sooner or later one person will get tired of the other person, or perhaps find someone better. In this scenario it would be inevitable that someone's feelings would get hurt and a friendship could not be maintained. This is the exact reason why I have strayed away from relationships because it is my belief that both members of the opposite sex can have "fun" without going out. I thought that when you put a label on someone it can only lead to problems. For me it goes all the way back to freshman year of high school where a young lady named Sara that I went out with told me that we were breaking up because I was "too nice". After that point I figured that relationships were useless and it was indeed more fun to just hang out with girls rather then date them. Strange as that may sound it actually worked and I had the best high school years that I could have ever dreamed. With that being said, Catherine broke all of those thoughts that I had worried about for so long.

She went to high school with me and had "supposedly" liked me the whole time. After I left for this wonderful institution she decided that she too would like to be apart of this fun-filled school. I still held strong to my beliefs that dating wasn't something I was interested in but sooner or later I gave in. There is something about her smile, maybe it's the glimmer I see in her eyes, but it melts my heart every time. No matter what type of argument we have I know that I have had the best years of my life with this girl and she means more to me then she will probably ever know.

I say that to say this, when you least expect it, that guy/girl will come into your life and change it for the better. So you young ones out there (and old ones too) don't give up hope because there is someone out there for everyone, you just gotta wait!
