For Those Of You Who Have Stuck Beside Me Through My Anxiety, Thank You
Christine Gordon

Without these select few people in my life, it would be extremely different. There are some days where its not feasible for me to mentally get out of bed, but you have been there and have supported me through it all. Some days my anxiety is overwhelming and is hard to cope with, but through these moments you have stayed. The fact that you didn't take the easy way out and leave is more than a blessing. So many people have left, but you have stayed.

You have helped me become more healthy as a person. I am so blessed to have you in my life. You are there when I need someone to talk things through. You stay when the rushing of thoughts leads me to jump to conclusions. You are there when I need a good laugh. You choose to be my friend, through the good and the bad. Some weeks its mostly bad, because the humming of my constant anxiety has reached the maxed out side of the bar.

Through this crazy time you haven't reacted negatively. You reassured me when I needed validation, and you tell me you are here to stay. I know I'm hard to deal with, and things aren't as easy as they could be. But know, that no matter what I'm going through I will always put you before myself. Most times when I'm having bad anxiety, I don't always push that on you. But know that I know you care and that you are here for me. Some days I need more support than others, and you have figured me out, and you are here for me through it all. You are so understanding and you treat me like I'm what the average is considered to be "normal".

You are so wonderful. There really isn't enough thank you's for how much you have done for me. Thank you for making my life a bit better when it feels like its chaotic. Thank you for standing my my side and lifting me up when I feel like crawling in the fetal position. Thank you for being one of the best people in my life. You are amazing, thank you for not leaving me.

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!

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.
