Dear Anxiety,

You've started to become a burden in my life starting in middle school, at first a problem, until I learned to use you for good--such as expressing my happiness--and the arrangement stayed until April of 2017.

You invaded my life again, this time stronger than ever, causing me pains that I have never experienced before. Chest pains in which I thought I was going to die for three weeks, even with a doctor's constant reassurance that it was YOU causing the pain. I didn't believe it until an EBG came up saying that I was okay.

I got put on medication, and it has been beneficial during the calm times. During these times you get settled in your place, but when it comes to present or to do something I have never done before...

BAM!!! You come full force on me, making me overthink everything I do, causing me to doubt myself.

Doubt

You have caused me so much of it that I can make a mountain higher than Mt. Everest. You put me in so many situations that I have broken down because of the doubt you placed on me.

Breaking Down

You have caused me to break down multiple times, not just crying, you give me throat pains, chest pains and not being able to breathe.You have ruined me.

However, April 26th is the last day you will ever ruin.

You will not ruin me anymore!

I am a young kind woman.

I may be looking at a bad semester, but I can get myself back together

I have friends that will tell you to back off.

I have family that will do the same.

Dear Anxiety,

This is no more!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
