You Blocked Me, But I'm Over It

Sometimes being blocked is a way of dodging a bullet.

You Blocked Me, But I'm Over It
Preservation Of Moments

So, this week's pondering goes into the department of being able to block people online. There are times when people overstep their boundaries and it seems like the easiest way, and depending on the person, it is. I consider myself as someone who doesn't want to be a threatening presence online, and I'm not, but I figured something out yesterday.

I was on Instagram, and I followed someone who I considered to be a friend of mine, but I see nowadays, that this person was someone I felt inferior to, and I always needed to see what she was up to, when she was never worried about me. Anyway, I remade my Instagram recently to start fresh and for some reason, I had it on my mind to follow her and she blocked me.

What am I gonna do? Sit here and cry? You blocked me for your own reasons, but you're one less person I need to deal with. One less person I need to be aware of because I don't question who I am. It's a loss on your part, because I only mean well. It's a waste thinking about it because there's no way to change it, your problem is yours, not mine.

I'm getting a little crazy here, but even though we can look at people blocking us as a bad thing, maybe it's a sign of people we shouldn't deal with. You don't always know the underlying reason. Maybe you feel like you're inferior. Maybe you think I'm weird because I'm confident. It's not my job to figure out how your mind works, because I have better things to do than to worry why you feel a certain way.

I have this weird thing where I don't like having block lists on my accounts. If I've blocked certain people in the past, I always have a valid reason, but I've never been someone who feels superior to make someone disappear. I'm the fool that will literally send you a note apologizing for having the right to view posts. I don't want to brag, but I think it should be considered that I'm taking the time to write when it doesn't benefit me, and I don't expect it to. It's a reflection of me, not one of you.

This turned into a bit of a rant, but I don't like to be someone who holds grudges over petty things when there are better ways to channel your energy. Don't waste it on people who are weird with you. If you don't want to deal with me, I don't want to deal with you. It's that simple.

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.
