5 Facts Of Life Every Young Person Needs To Come To Terms With

Listed below are five quick pieces of advice on things that most of us as young adults have to learn to come to terms with in order to move on and be happy in our lives. They can be hard to accept, but once accepted, things in our lives get easier.

1. No response is a response.

We may not ever get the closure we are hoping for, and that is something we have to understand. There won't always be a response to our questions and statements.

"No response is your answer. If they don't care enough to reply to you, then you shouldn't waste any more of your time." — Unknown

2. If they wanted to, they would.

Stop making excuses for them, and stop letting them make excuses to you.

"If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously make an effort to be in it. No reasons, no excuses." — MyDearValentine, Pinterest

3. Timing will not always be in your favor.

Life has its own way of doing things sometimes, and we just have to trust the process and that everything happens for a reason.

"Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored." – Earl Nightingale

4. Not everyone has the same heart as you.

We all feel and understand differently. Not everyone will be just like us, and we have to learn to be okay with that.

"Not everyone has the same heart as you .You'll end up really disappointed if you think people will do for you as you do for them." - Unknown

5. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Why would you pretend they're anything different than what they have proved to you?

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." - Maya Angelou

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!

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.
