1. It's impossible to make all the right decisions all the time.

No one's always right and no one's always wrong and that's something we just need to accept.

2. Sometimes it's not always clear to see which decision is "right" and which is "wrong".

Sometimes the only way to figure out if something is right or wrong is just to try it and see what happens. You can always change your mind and pick something else if it ends up being wrong.

3. Right and wrong are subjective.

We subconsciously let others choose what's right and wrong for us sometimes, but what's right for someone else might be wrong for you.

4. Sometimes a decision can be the right one in one instance, but then the wrong one in another.

Something might feel right in the moment, but then when you look back on it, you might realize that it wasn't actually the right decision. We can't beat ourselves up for these moments, because we didn't know how we would view this decision in another moment.

5. Occasionally you need to choose the wrong thing for it to teach you something.

This is one that can be seen in countless movies and TV shows, where someone does something wrong, but because of that they ended up better off. Sometimes choosing the wrong thing can teach us a lesson.

6. You're only human.

As Hannah Montana says in her hit song "Nobody's Perfect," "Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." We're only human and most humans, whether or not we like to admit it, are pretty problematic. Being problematic sometimes is okay though, especially when we're young because we're still learning the ropes on this thing called "life."

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.
