20 is such an awkward age. You are too old to be stuck with teenage drama, but then again you fully are not an adult. 20 is an age where things start to fall into place. 20 is a year that you begin to realize what being an adult is all about. Very soon I will be turning 21, and I have sat back and reflected on all the things that I have realized while being 20.

1. People always have an opinion on everything.

2. It is okay to disagree with people.

3.You get what you pay for. $9 vodka is $9 vodka.

4. Things do not always go as planned.

5. Googling symptoms never ends well.

6. College is tough.

7. I will always be late, there is no getting around it.

8. Paying taxes is literally the worst.

9. Paying for food is literally the worst.

10.Paying for things period is literally the worst.

11. No matter how many times I call my dog by his name, he still won’t listen.

12. I will be in debt for the rest of my life, so swipe that credit card at Target.

13. I have the best friends on the planet.

14. Trying to balance all aspects of life is stressful.

15. My grandma will never fully grasp how Facebook works.

16. It is okay to speak my mind, I am not here to please everyone.

17. No matter how old she is, I will still fist fight my little sister in the living room.

18. I am my parents' favorite child.

19. I am by far the funniest, smartest and prettiest person in my family.

20. I am #blessed.

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.
