My Life Is Like A Dress And A Little Mess, And That's How I Like It

My Life Is Like A Dress And A Little Mess, And That's How I Like It

My life is like a dress, there are layers to me and many alterations that are being made. I think that as I approach my life after graduation next spring I'm starting to realize that it's ok for my dress to be shorter, to look a different way, and to even be a different more vibrant color. After all, everyone thinks that they know us in our dress right?

My dress is nowhere near perfect that's for sure. I think that life likes to throw little curve balls at me from time to time, but it's nothing that I can't handle. That being said, I also have realized that I can't please everyone, something that I have learned from listening to several podcasts recently. It is hasn't been easy, but I would like to think life's curves are sent your way for a reason and sometimes just for a season (if you are lucky of course).

God always knows that I can fit in my dress, it may just be a little snug at times as I'm navigating my journey. I've also learned It's also okay to let everyone see my dress, even though it may be a total mess some days. I think being honest with even the simple things like talking about how your day was or how you've been thinking about a certain topic that was discussed in a recent podcast or YouTube video. I think it is helpful to know that everyone is rooting for me and my "dress".

But it's important to remember that you should never be ashamed of your dress and all that it entails. The right people will appreciate all your layers and all your flavors are when it comes to being apart of your life. And I truly think that's a radical thing, to have a supportive group of people around you on your team.

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.
