Keep Pushing Through Whatever You Are Dealing With

Did you ever think what the world would be like without you?

Well don't because there is so much more to the world than you think. You just have yet to see it.

Many of us are at the age where we have to start acting like adults and leave our childhoods in the past. I have struggled with this part in my life this past year, well because who honestly wants to grow up? It is apart of life, but it should never be a reason why you would question your existence, no circumstance is that harsh. God put us on this earth to make a difference not to question ourselves.

I have to constantly tell myself, "It will get better". Why you may ask. Because being a college student with depression and anxiety is never easier. There are days when my depression will consume me and make me believe staying in bed is best for me. Yes, it is comforting to lay in a bed all day and do nothing, but if I let that happen, then I am letting depression get the best of me. Life tends to be unfair sometimes, but you have to keep pushing and fighting. You deserve to be here as much as anyone else does.

I know I am not alone in this. You are not alone either in any situation. Mostly everyone will go through life and come across a conflict quite like mine or even yourself. It took me awhile to realize this. Please don't take too long to realize it before it is too late.

Life is a about making the best out of it every day. Once I started letting all the negativity out of my life and kept reassuring myself that I have a voice in this, I became to realize that this life isn't too bad after all. You just have to push through it. There is so much joy and adventure in life. I cannot wait to see what my life has in store for me. I know if I continue to tell myself that I am okay and that it does better, then I will be exactly where I want to be with my happiness and life. If you feel the same way as I did then I am telling you now; You are the only person who can help yourself. It all starts with you.

There is much more out in the world. Do not constantly limit yourself because you are scared, you can make a difference in the world. When I stopped limiting myself, that is when I start enjoying and appreciating my life more. Be brave, be kind, but most importantly; BE YOU! The world would most definitely not be the same without you. You are one of a kind.

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.
