There is nothing more important in this life than being kind and strong.

If there is one thing that is for sure in life, it is that life will throw you curves. When you least expect it, your life can get turned upside down. Hell, does life ever really go the way we want it too?

When life beats you up you need to be able to stand your ground, but also, make sure you are always the bigger person in a situation. When things aren’t going your way or when sometimes things just really suck, you’ll want to do whatever you can so the situation benefits you the most.

The hardest thing people have to learn in life is that not everything is always going to be the way they want it to be. Whining, complaining, or doing something that only benefits you isn’t always the best way to change the situation.

As hard as people will try to knock you down and bring out the worse in you, don’t let that happen. Do not let that happen. Prove that in this life you are the bigger person.

Being the bigger person in a situation sucks sometimes, but it also shows that you are the strongest and most mature person in a situation. In life, you are going to have to do things that you don’t want to do. You’ll just have to learn that in some way or another, you’ll get rewarded for being the awesome person that you are!

Always do what you know is right, not just what you want to do. In the end, being able to prove that you are the bigger person is something that no one can take away from you.

Being the stronger and more mature person isn’t always what you want to do, but it will make you an overall better person. There is nothing more important in this life than being kind and strong. There’s no better kind of person. Always be the bigger person, always be the best person you can be.

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.
