12 Things I'm Thankful For

There’s so much to be thankful for this year!

1. Family

Even though we're all so spread out right now, we are still in constant contact with each other and facetime dates are my absolute favorite!

2. Friendships

There's no telling where or who I would be without them. College is hard being away from your best friend but new friends are pretty great!

3. My Faith

It's a constant in my life.

4. The University of South Carolina

It's a great school and community to be apart of where I feel safe and at home. Football games are also a plus.

5. Missions

Missionaries sacrifice so much to be able to serve in places all over the world. I think we so easily forget about them and all the work they do to change the world.

6. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

It's a dream and will forever be my favorite candy

7. Sunsets

Something about it is so relaxing and I love chasing sunsets

8. Music

Without it the world would be so boring and I wouldn't have an escape.

9. The Odyssey Online

So many encouraging articles to read and it's a new way to express myself.



10. My Struggles

Something I've learned in the last few months, if you don't struggle, there's really no way to know your strengths.

11. Netflix

A perfect way to relax and there are so many quality shows to choose from.

12. Fall

The leaves changing and the weather are so breathtaking.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
