Dear You,

Dear wonderful you who is currently going through a hard time,

There’re so many things I want to tell you. There’re just so many things I wish I could say to you as I look into your eyes and give you a comforting smile and a hug if you need one.

I want you to know that you are never alone. Okay, hon? You are NEVER alone. You have so many people that love and care for you. If you think that’s a lie, know that I love and care for you and we haven’t met. If someone you haven’t met cares a whole lot about you, just imagine how much everyone you met cares about you.

I guarantee you that you have a support system. I don’t know how big it is and I don’t know who’s in it. Maybe it’s your family, maybe it’s your friends, maybe it’s your teachers, it might even be the person who serves you your coffee every morning. No matter what, you have a support system, there is someone out there who would miss you if you just disappeared. You have people who love you and care about and just want you to be happy.

Lean on these people. Call them in the middle of the night when you’re crying and you can’t fall asleep. Call them in the middle of the day when you feel alone and miserable. Text them when you just need a sense of human companionship. Know that if you need someone you can get a hold of someone, because they will always be there for you. Don’t call yourself a burden or a bother. You are loved by too many people to be a bother. Reach out to them when you need them. Don’t worry about worrying anyone. People like to worry; it gives them something to do. People worry because they love you. Let them worry. Let them show you how much they love you.

Be selfish, just for a little while. Take care of yourself. Let the ones who love you take care of you, too. Take medicine, if you need it. Eat fruits and chocolate. Play your music a little too loud and dance around your room. Crawl into your bed, pull your covers over you and read one of your favorite books. Take a shower or bath and make your bed daily. Cuddle with your pet, your favorite person or a stuffed animal. These little acts will make you feel better.

Remember that your suffering will end. You will get stronger and things will get better. One day you will wake up and getting out of bed will be easy. You’ll sing a familiar song as you make your favorite breakfast. Someone who loves you will call you and you’ll spend the phone call laughing. When you hang up the phone, you’ll be filled with thoughts of love and not of loneliness.

Remember that you are loved and are worthy of love and remember to love yourself.

Take care, 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.
