A Letter To Future Me.

I hope you are enjoying the adult world.

A Letter To Future Me.
Odyssey

Dear me,

I hope when you read this, you are happy and have your life kind of figured out. If you are reading this, that means that life is going good for you (hopefully). I am writing this to make sure that everything turned out okay for you, and a chance for you to look back on the past you.

When you are having a bad day, remember all the funny times you had during your college years. Remember sharing a room with two other people for your first two years of college. Remember how you guys would stay up until the crack of dawn just talking about your life leading up to college. Or how different each other's family background is, or how scared all of us was to start freshman year at college. Remember how much Ramen you guys ate when you were too lazy to walk to get food.

When you are sitting at your big girl job, remember the road that you took to get there. Remember when you changed your major two weeks before going back to school Junior year. Remember that success doesn't have a straight path. Life takes you crazy places, but in the end it will pay off. Remember you need to have some falls to get to the highs.

When and if you get married, remember who taught you how to love. Remember those times you watched your parents show love to each other. Remember who told you that you don't spell love, you feel it. Actually Winnie The Pooh said that, but remember who encouraged that.

When you are becoming a mom to be, remember who raised you. Remember how your mother raised you to be the best you can be. Remember all the memories your mom made with you, and try to remake the same ones with your future child. Remember to support your child through anything just like how you got support while you were growing up.

I hope you are enjoying the adult world,

Sincerely,

Past you.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
