An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend

You were my person, and I was yours.

An Open Letter To My Former Best Friend
Facebook

You are more than you realize.

You are better than the one who hurt you.

You are more likely to succeed in life when you're not worrying. Though, we all worry.

You are not the girl you were when you first met that boy.

You are better, stronger, more experienced.

The person you are now, has been shaped by the mistakes you've made, the promises you kept, and the life you've lived so far.

The person you are now, may not be the best version of yourself that you want to be.

The person you are now, will not be who you are in 3 years. 5 years. 10.

The person you will be, is far greater than anyone who ever did you wrong.

The person you will be, is stronger that she has ever been.

She has made a life for herself.

She has achieved all that she's ever dreamed.

She has become the person she's always wanted to be.

That person, will be you.

You will fall, cry, laugh, love, live, hurt, but most of all — you will be all that you've wanted.

You will make a life for yourself.

You will be what you were always always meant to be.

You will speak your mind.

You will laugh too loud, and cry too much.

You will bend and you will break.

But you will never be anything less than worth it.

Do you hear that?

You are worth it.

You are worth everything.

Do not let anyone tell you any different.

Do not let anyone push you down.

Do not let anyone discourage you.

You are the only person who can do something about the wrongdoings you face.

You are the only person who can get you where you truly want to go.

You are the only person who can possibly get in the way of your future.

The person holding you back? That's yourself.

It will always be yourself.

You have to push for what you want.

You have to fight for it

You have to throw yourself out there, take risks, live.

You have to love the wrong boy, or a few, before you find the one.

You have to make mistakes and fall down to succeed.

You have to pick yourself up with things get rough.

You have to show that boy you're better than he left you.

You have to show him you can do so much better because you are worth so much more.

He will regret hurting you.

Those people who called you names and knocked you down will regret not seeing your worth.

You have to let the world know you're not just some girl who's been broken, and can't do a damn thing about how people treat her.

You have to let the world know you're not the same girl you were back then.

Make something of yourself.

Because I know you can.

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.
