Hey there,

I know you're hurting and you're broken, but guess what? You're going to heal and become stronger and feel better than you ever have before. It's OK to feel pain and sadness; that just means you're alive. Don't for a second think that you're not worth the world. Because you are. You loved someone who couldn't love you back and that's fine. You'll be fine. Being able to love someone like that is such a beautiful thing and you shouldn't ever regret it. Love is sacred and special and something that you shouldn't just give to anyone. They have to earn it and prove to you that they are deserving of your love. Those lucky enough to get it, no matter what the time frame, should feel special and know that the love that you have shared with them is extraordinary and incredible. Be proud of the love you give and know your worth.

I know that times get tough, but do you really believe God would put you in a position you couldn't handle? He would never do that to you, and don't think for a second you can't get through this. You can. You are strong and powerful and can do anything. You think it's easier to be sad and cry? It's not. You're not helping yourself any. Yes you can cry, but cry only to let the negative out. Breathe in the positive and let light shine through you. Embrace your emotions and be proud of them. Don't let the negative cover your beauty.

Heart, listen up. Stop. Just stop it. Don't give in, don't shut off, and don't crumble. No you won't get over this in a day and not even a week but oh well. You take that and become the person you need to be. For yourself. You forgot the love that you have for yourself but it's not gone. It's still there, you may have to dig for it but when you find it, it will be even better than before. A new love that you have for yourself that you didn't know you could feel. You are perfect the way you are.

I know, heart, that it's easier to be angry, frustrated, and annoyed but it's not. You're not supposed to fill yourself up with all of that. Fill it up with love and devotion. Pray for those who need it and keep doing it until you feel like they don't anymore. That's what you can do so don't stay angry or frustrated, pray it out. Look at all you have overcome and accomplished. Why did you ever think you couldn't get through this? You're doing it now, you're living and breathing. Trust the process.

God says," The reason some people have turned against you and walked away from you without reason, has nothing to do with you. It is because I have removed them from your life because they cannot go where I am taking you next. They will only hinder you in your next level because they have already served their purpose in your life. Let them go and keep moving. Greater is coming." Says the Lord.

Greater indeed is coming.

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.
