Embrace The Good And The Bad Days

After a crazy past few months, it feels like life is getting back on track. We all have those days, weeks, months, or maybe even years where we ask ourselves where is my life going or what am I supposed to be doing. That's how I have been feeling the past few months. I have asked myself so many questions and so many times I felt like I didn't have the answers. It took a while, but I feel like I am starting to find the answers and even a fresh start.

The way I see it, I can either look at the past few months of my life as just full of struggle and hard emotion, or I can look at it as a time of growth, learning, and strength. Yes, the time was a struggle, but it only made me stronger. Yes, the time was full of anger and sadness, but that only made me grow and learn how to better myself. We need those times of confusion, heartbreak, and struggle to take a step back and realize what is going on in life.

I've heard that it's up to you to find your happiness, and after pondering that thought for a while, I believe it to be true. Yes we will always need other people, but when it comes down to it, you are the one who has to chase your dreams and accomplish them. Nobody can do that for you. It takes those bad days for you to realize what you really want out of life and if you haven't thought about it, you probably should. After you start chasing the life you want and it may seem like the good days keep coming, a few bad days might show up. And it's okay to be angry, confused, sad, lost or any other feeling you will feel, but you have to let that encourage you and not tear you down.

Life is full of perspective. A lot of people say you can look at the glass half full or half empty. I say you can do both because nobody's perfect. Some days you feel like you can change the world for the better and some days you will feel like you can't change out of your pajamas. Although, pajamas would be comfy to change the world in.

It's perfectly normal to have bad days and it's really awesome when you have the good ones. They both make us human and shape who we are supposed to be. Looking back on life it's crazy how many good days I have had, but it is also crazy to think how many bad days I have had. I'm finally starting to piece everything back together and figure out what I want. Life is tough, but believe me you are way stronger than you think you are and with those really good and bad days, life is incredible.

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.
