There it is. The moment you feel yourself leaving the place you might have been comfortable in, if only because of the time spent there. Home dissolves into letters and you wonder how you will make it on your own. You scroll through your contact list, and you have just four people to call. Only the last one picks up. You don't know whether to check your bank account or inventory your heart first. You ask yourself and the Universe, "What are we going to do?" Through fortune cookies from meals alone and serendipitous sayings that pop up on your Instagram, you build a collection of breathing words to help you remember your truth and your power and your raison d'etre. They go a little something like this:

1. Thoughts Become Things. Planning, time, effort, and money cannot bring about what you need before your thought itself turns into a conviction.

2. Just Keep Swimming. Just Keep Swimming. Just Keep Swimming. The fact that it is in cute song form immediately in your head bumps the mood up 100 percent.

3. You Are Loved. The list may be short but the care runs deep, and it's probably longer than you realize anyway.

4. You Are Good At Loving. Opening your heart is never a failure. Loving a person, or place, or thing — there is no danger in that.

5. Everything Happens For A Reason. Everything. If it hurts, let it be a lesson. If it scares you, let it help you be more prepared. If it fills you up, enjoy every moment of feeling whole.

6. "Light can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light."- Dumbledore. There is light within and without.

7. One Day At A Time, One Breath At A Time. Seriously just take three deep inhales and exhales, and your whole world will focus. Let a friend know if you may need reminders, I know this breathing thing can get hard.

8. Si Se Puede. You can do it. You can do it all by yourself (but "you'll get by with a little help from your friends").

9. It Will Be Worth It In The End. Not owing your success to anyone makes it all the more sweet.

You're probably processing a lot of emotions and running a lot of facts and figures in your head on how to survive, so you can only focus on one-sentence motivational pieces, but you keep a phrase in your head all day or close your eyes and repeat it in a hard moment, and in the simplicity of your mantra, you find the simplicity of your truth: you are meant to be here and you can make it wherever you want to be.

10. You Are All That You Need.

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.

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.
