It's very easy to get down on yourself with you constantly feel like you're doing your best and trying your hardest - hell, you might even feel like you're absolutely killing it! - and no one stops you to say good job. It can be really disheartening and you might think to yourself, why am I even trying this much? If no one is noticing the work that I'm doing and putting into this, why should I keep going? Even though you sometimes work incredibly hard and feel like nothing good comes of it, I promise you that it will eventually pay off.

The right people always see the work that you do, even if it takes a while. They will notice you and they will say, hey, this guy or girl is really doing a great job and working his or her butt off! Sometimes, though, those people are the ones who don't say anything. Those are the people who watch to see if you'll continue to do a great job, even when you might not be getting recognized for it. They might be sitting on the sidelines thinking, are they just doing it for the pat on the back? Or are they doing it because it's part of their character? And when they see you continue to bust your butt, without any recognition, because you just want to do the absolute best that you can do regardless of recognition, I promise you they see your character. They will see your strength and grit and hustle, and they will be the first to reward you and tell you how great of a job you did.

Good things always come to those who hustle. Don't forget that. Those who bust their butts and hustle day and night so that they can make it to the top, working however many jobs and the longest hours ever, I promise good things will come. It may take days, months, years even, but people always notice those who are constantly moving their behinds and grinding away. Regardless of how it feels when you have little sleep and want to give up because there isn't a payout, I promise you'll look back and love how hard you worked because it will get you to amazing places.

Make sure that you not only bust your butt but recognize the others that do, too. It's not easy constantly grinding and always trying your best and it sucks when no one notices you, so make sure to appreciate the others who are doing the same around you. It's easy to say "no one notices me" but it's better to lean on those who know what you're going through and show appreciation for each other. It'll make getting to the top that much sweeter - because you had a friend who understood the grind along the way.

I promise you that your hard work will pay off. When it does, you'll feel extremely grateful and it'll be very satisfying. You'll appreciate those who saw you sweating your tail off and you'll be grateful for those who helped you along the way. Keep pushing, keep your head up and always stay hungry. It's beautiful when you feel like you've made it. Grateful

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.
