Why Change Is Necessary This Year

Time passes, but the memories remain.

Why Change Is Necessary This Year
Retronaut Snapshots

As more time passes, I keep having all these amazing and realistic thoughts through them I've come to yet another conclusion. The realization I've had is that things cannot stay the same forever. If they did, we would never see how special life really is.

It seems sad that things have to change, but if we appreciate what we have before it's gone, we'll be left with that feeling of all our memories from it, not our sadness from it being gone. Time passes, but the memories remain.

When I was upstairs spinning vinyl the other day, my parents were outside moving our old van since we're going to get rid of it. When I saw it in the driveway after they finished moving it, I didn't feel the least bit sad, I was actually reminded of all the experiences and adventures we had in that car, and it brought me back to when we were younger. That was then, and this is now, but we don't forget what shapes us.

Anyway, what I'm trying to get across here is that, we all have experiences that shape us, and we need to treasure what we have while we have it. More importantly, while we need to treasure this time, we must also look to the future, because the future is always coming at us, and the past fades away in reality, but it will always remain in our hearts as the memories we will always remember. It's an amazing thing about being human. We can experience so much, and it can leave us physically, and it remains in our minds.

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.
