5 Reasons To Smile Today
afs.org

Lets be honest, I'm sure there are a million more reasons than just 5 to smile today. Just in case you forgot, here is a friendly reminder to never take a day, or any of the surprises it throws at you for granted.

1. You got up in the morning.

As ridiculous as it is to say, the gift of getting up today should be enough to make you grin at least a little. It may not seem like it when the alarm is blaring in your ear, but the opportunity to live another day, whether it be for you or someone else, cannot and should not be ignored.

2. Someone out there is thinking of you or has thought about you at least once today.

It's a beautiful thing to realize or even to think about that someone out there, whether you know them or not, has been thinking about you in the hopes of your well-being. I don't know about you, but even the prospect of that mysterious support is enough for me to smile at least a little.

3. Your presence is making an impact on someone else's life.

Whether or not you realize it, the actions you make have an impact in the life of someone else. All that you do, good or bad, doesn't go unnoticed or unappreciated. Don't forget that.

4. You mean more to this world than you realize.

You matter. The end.

5. You are loved.

Smile, each day brings on a challenge, but each day also brings on an opportunity to love. Allow yourself to be loved and allow yourself to love, it's what drives this world and it's what is going to change it.

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.

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.
