​5 Reasons Why You Should Love Yourself

Sometimes the easiest thing to do when we are sad about something is to put ourselves down even more. We all have those insecurities, those things that we feel could be so much better, and we all take a stab at them sometimes. It’s almost as if you poke at it just to make sure it’s still there. Spoiler alert: it is. I know it’s easier to find the bad in ourselves but why not focus more on the things that we love about ourselves?

1. Your Impeccable Sense Of Style

There’s nothing like being able to show off the outfit that you carefully put together. You even took the time to make sure the nail polish matched.

2. The Advice You Give That's Always Being Praised By Your Friends

Nothing feels better than knowing that what you say to your friends actually makes a difference in their lives.

3. Your Awesome Sense Humor

Sure, you may laugh for an unnecessary amount of time after a joke has been told, but that’s what makes it so great. If you don’t have laughter, then you honestly just have nothing.

4. The Way You Love Your Hobby So Much

Whether its painting, singing, dancing, reading, writing or whatever you choose to do, knowing that you willingly put so much time into mastering a skill is something that should always make you feel an immense sense of pride.

5. Your Close Attention To Detail

For my people out there who notice when a store changes their layout or that a friend chose to wear their part in their hair differently that day, cheers to you. I always think something like that can come in handy so often in life and I love knowing that I can use that to my advantage whenever I see fit.

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.
