Unapologetic and free

Becoming unapologetic was the best decision I have ever made for myself
Madison Green
"She courageously and unapologetically walked away from everyone and everything that meant her no good"

This world is a place for dreamers and the hopeful, there are places to explore and people to meet. My soul longs for the freedom to do as I please and for so long I caged myself inside of a box. The box was meant to bound me to the idea that I was content with the life I was living, and with the relationship that I was in. All along I knew the truth was that I wanted to be let loose and I wanted to find myself. For some people finding themselves means exploring a hobby that they have always felt drawn too, but for me it meant cutting the negativity out of my life. I will not apologize for seeing the world as my canvas and wanting to leave my mark on it.

Being proactive in the development in your happiness means cutting out the voices of those who once held you back, and broke you down..

In order to find who I was, I needed to stop depending on the opinion and approval of others, and depend on myself. I started to ignore the thoughts of those who didn't want to see me prosper and become happy with myself.

My happiness stems from the desire to be fully devoted to success and my wellbeing. The saying that the world is a cruel place will no longer be a crutch for me but instead a motivation. I will be motivated to work harder to thrive in a place that is full of disappointment and heartbreak.

I've never been one to listen to the cliché quotes but one has always stuck out to me and it's "Don't waste your time looking into the rearview, you might miss something amazing ahead of you."

Great things are ahead and if I'm busy dwelling on the past I can not become excited for what's to come. I will not apologize for finally becoming the person I've always wanted to be.

Life is what you make of it, so grab hold of yourself and do amazing things.

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.
