Where do I even begin? I’ll first start by say you did it! I’m so proud of you. It wasn’t easy. Actually it was probably one of the scariest things you’ve done. The day you said enough was enough and walked away was one of the hardest days of your life even if you showed that it was or not. If your anything like me you might of even sat alone that night for hours crying wondering if you made the right decision. Well let me tell you, you did. It’s not because everything was all their fault or everything was your fault, it was a mixture of both. So before I go any further if your still reading this don’t pretend your all innocent. Trust me I’ve been there playing the bad guy part of it even though it was my fault also. Maybe it’s just a way of grieving or numbing the pain a little bit, but trust me when I say you both played a roll. Mainly because you grew into a person of making them happy you forgot how to love yourself and even figure out who and what you are anymore. You forgot to set goals and dreams for yourself. All you thought about was them and making their goals and dreams come true that you lost yourself in the process. It’s just the way you are always trying to put someone else’s wants and needs before your own. There are going to be simple little things that go on in life that as soon as it happens you’re going to think of that person and wonder what their doing right now, who their with, if they are truly happy and so much more. Honestly as much as it might hurt they probably are happy but that doesn’t mean they don’t think about you also. But in the mess of it all you both have now realized you’re toxic for each other. That it wasn’t you wanting to give up on them it was realizing as much as you both love each other you don’t deserve each other. It’s not fair to go on in life being unhappy as much as you may hear it you only have one life to live. But promise me this before you go out trying to look for that same love in someone else make sure after all the mess you’ve been though you learn how to love yourself before you ever try to love someone else again.

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.
