To The People Who Don't Value Who You Are

I am me. You can't take that away from me.

To The People Who Don't Value Who You Are

Have you ever felt like you didn't belong? Have you ever felt like you were different? Have you ever realized you aren't being valued?

Well, I think we all can answer "yes" to these questions.

In this world we live in, I find too often that people are not valuing others for who they are. Instead, they are trying to change one another. I find that people are covering themselves with a mask to hide who they truly are on the inside and out. People are afraid to be themselves due to the peer pressure of society.

Mental health issues are skyrocketing high in our generation due to the need to "fit in." Social media, TV shows, movies, and many other things affect the way we look at ourselves on a daily basis. People are afraid to stick out in a crowd.

But hey, to the people who don't value who you are, goodbye.

We have to distance from the people or things in life that affect our image of ourselves. It is very important to surround yourself with people who value who you are as a person. Why? Because you deserve to be you. You deserve to look in the mirror and wipe off that mask. Wipe off the fake you.

Too often when changes and experiences occur, we question ourselves. It is good to self-reflect, but we do not need to blame ourselves for each and every little thing in life. You are trying to be you in a world full of secrecy, it's hard I get it.

Some people need to learn how to cope with it and guess what, that is ok. It is ok sometimes to not be ok. It is ok to feel overwhelmed managing society and your own beliefs and ways in life. It is vital for success to find the power to live the life you want to live. No one can live this life for you.

So, to the people who don't value who you are, goodbye.

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.
