Here's To Those Who Feel Behind In Life

Sometimes I feel like I'm behind in life. Like I should be at this point in a relationship with this person and have our future plans all mapped out, you know where we would be living and how many kids we want to have. But I have realized that's not how life works and I need to slow my roll when it comes to thinking about my future and how it should pan out in my little brain. It is funny to even think about what my brain has stored inside, but boy are these thoughts really ready to burst like crazy!

I recently re-watched "The Ugly Truth" with Katherine Heigl. The whole movie she was trying to check all of these boxes off with who she thought she was falling for, Collin. But then she realized that once she allowed herself to just breathe that the right guy would come along to be there with her by her side, through thick and thin.

The funny thing is, she didn't even know that Mr. Right was standing right in front of her the whole entire time and she didn't even seem to notice one little bit (isn't that crazy town?). But I did learn from this romantic comedy movie and in life is that Mr. or Ms. Right exists for each and every one of us in this society whether we realize it or not. God has hand-picked someone super special for us to be with us in life, we just don't know who that someone special is yet. That's the mystery we all so curious to know about right?

I think that in life, we want to have everything planned out to at and we just get so focused on checking off boxes. I myself am guilty of doing this a lot, even though I shouldn't. I know that I should life and love happen as it should. I shouldn't worry about looks or a timeline of when things should happen.

I need to just let life happen and let the chips fall where they may. Cheers to going with the flow always and forever. I'm off to drink some wine and treat myself to a peel-off face mask from Target (yes it's legit y'all and I'm not ashamed one little bit)!

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.
