An Appreciation Of My True Love

Just trying to describe that special feeling that can't be ignored.

An Appreciation Of My True Love
www.autostraddle.con

HA- you thought this was going to be about a boy. PLOT TWIST. I don't believe in true love. The closest thing I've found to true love (beside Jesus's love for me) is the euphoric feeling of walking into a Chick-Fil-A. I've had one of the most troubling weeks of my life, but the one thing that stayed constant through this storm was Chick-Fil-A. Now, before you attack me for false advertisement, know that it was for your benefit so you would click on this and hear me out. My only hope for you is that one day you feel the same way about Chick-Fil-A, and maybe my words can lead you to this place of peace and comfort.

Whenever I feel sad, happy, angry, joyful, frustrated, content, upset, (or nothing at all), I go to Chick-Fil-A. Let me tell you, it is the most comforting place to be when you're in any state of emotion. The smiling faces, the instrumental worship songs, and the smell of fried chicken all contribute to the peaceful, zen that overwhelms you as soon as you walk through the door. I am fully convinced that 12 nuggets, fries, and a sweet tea are the perfect meal to turn any day around or to make a good day great.

I'm pretty sure the people at the Clemson Chick-Fil-A have legitimately started to recognize me. BUT I AM NOT ASHAMED. I EMBRACE IT. My biggest ambition is that one day, I'll walk in and the cashier will say, "Oh, hey, Catherine! The regular?" And I'll say, "No, [insert employee's name], let's shake it up today and make it a Cool Wrap."

Also, Chick-Fil-A is a freaking smart company because they just came out with one of their most brilliant marketing plans- The Chick-Fil-A app. If you don't have and actively use the Chick-Fil-A app already, you might as well never talk to me again. It is a God send. I swear that Jesus himself was like, "Man, the world is so messed up right now. I need to send a beacon of hope." Then, he went over to the Chick-Fil-A in heaven where S. Truett Cathy is currently working and said, "Mr. Cathy, drop that chicken sandwich, I need your help with a very important project." And thus, the Chick-Fil-A app was born and we were all showered with Chick-Fil-A treats.*

So, thank you, Chick-Fil-A, for all you do for me and everyone else in this blessed nation. Thank you for being a comforting refuge, a meal saver, a best friend. I love you forever, CFA.

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.
