A Different Kind of Easter


          Coming up to school all the way in Indiana, I was aware I wouldn't be able to go home whenever I wanted. It's a long drive, and I worked most of the time I was up here. Prior to coming up to college, there was not a single holiday that I didn't spend with my family. It didn't matter how big or small the holiday, we always stayed together. Whenever friends would ask me to hang out with them, it was an instant no because I knew where I needed to be. Ever since I've been at IUP, I may not have had my immediate family, but I always had Marc up here with me. Freshman year first semester, I really struggled with homesickness, and I wouldn't have made it without Marc by my side. He was truly my home away from home. Today marks the first big holiday I won't have my parents, Sara, or Marc around, and it just feels weird. I love Easter, and yet today feels like a regular Sunday. I look forward to never having another one of these holidays. It has definitely made me think about requesting holidays off far in advance like my coworkers had. The bright side to this, is that I feel very comfortable knowing my entire family is spending this amazing holiday together. I can't be there with them, but I'm glad they are always able to come together without me. There's nothing more exciting than knowing how seamlessly your significant other and family can come together. Not only does it make me extremely happy, but I know how lucky both Marc and I are to fit so well with each other's family. <3

With love always,
Becca Colón

P.s. I hope you're having a great day bub, I love you <3

So close! We are so close to the end of the month. We've almost made it. I will finally have time off, and won't be as tired as I've been. Thank you love for sticking with me this month. I know it's been hard. With all of my sleepiness and staying on campus to get work done, even when we see each other, I feel like it lasts for just a few moments. There is also something super exciting about seeing our diplomas next to each other. For two, first-generation college students, we sure have done well for ourselves. Teamwork makes the dream work right?? I think so! It definitely helps to have a superstar on the team anyway. And by superstar, I mean Mr. Do-It-All-Himself-Colón. Thank you for being such a great teammate! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. I still don't know why you don't complain about the accent mark!

Sometimes we see, read, or hear things that we try to get across. For me lately, I've been trying to get across what young love means, and the beauty of it. Today, I came across another blog, where someone worded it in simplest form. Short, sweet, and to the point. Thank you Anonymous, I couldn't have said it better myself. " The question is asked: “Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?” And the answer is given: “Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. "It is the spectacle of an old man and an old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled but still clasped; their faces are seamed but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired but still strong with love and devotion. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love.” " With love always, Becca Colón P...

Exactly one year ago today. The time has truly flown by. I've posted this video a few times before, but we're finally at it's anniversary. What a year it has been love! Crazy, to say the least. We legit spent majority of our first year together apart. It's okay though, we made it back to where we need to be. I love you bub! With love always, Becca Colón P.s. Looks just like Rachel from Suits haha.
