I Am Who I Am And I Am Not Sorry

Like the words from the Queen herself, I ain't sorry

I Am Who I Am And I Am Not Sorry
Kasey Davis

There have been times where I have been criticized for who I am as a person and my behavior; you're too immature, you don't take things seriously, you drink too much, you do this and that blah blah blah...

I am not sorry.

I refuse to apologize for being myself, no one is better than I am and I am not better than anyone. Everyone is unique in their own way and I'm not sure why it's not okay for me to be my own person? I do things differently than others do, I cope with things differently, I love differently, I ACT differently...and so do you, you, and you. I am a good person, I am funny, I am smart, I am loving and loyal, and I love to have a good time, there is nothing wrong with that in my opinion.

I get called a "party girl" because I like to let loose on the weekends with my friends, but I don't care. Why? Because this "party girl" works two serving jobs while taking on 17 credit hours of hard classes because she is going into the medical field. This girl drives to two totally different cities for class and work and pays for her own gas to get to where she needs to be. This girl volunteers her personal time over the summer to coach little league softball, guess who doesn't get paid for it...you guessed it, this girl. I do it because I love the game and want to inspire these girls to better themselves at a game they love, without hesitation.


I do not apologize for being able to sleep in later than 9:30 or 10AM because my classes don't start til later, I worked the night before til 11PM, maybe later and guess what? I'M TIRED! I am allowed to sleep as much as I want if I am able, I do not know a single person who would not take advantage of that opportunity.

I do not apologize for loving to color and watch Disney movies, why? Because I do not have to "adult" 24/7; if I want to sit in my Eeyore footie pajamas and watch the Little Mermaid with a bottle of wine, you know damn well I will do it proudly and sing along with Ariel at the top of my lungs.

So next time you try telling me how to live my life, or criticize me for something I've done...just know, I am not sorry about it nor will I ever be because I am me and you are you.

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.
