To whom it may concern I am now 16. Its barely been a month. All school year the office and guidance told me how I had to ride out the constant name calling and dirty looks. And finally after what felt like forever, the day came. But I couldn't start jumping and cheering just yet. Yet another one of agitators is in my class. Gym class to be exact. I have a heart murmur, I was born with it; It makes my heart beat more slowly. While running I cant breathe and mostly end up hyperventilating because of this, I know what you're thinking. Just slow down. I cant, we get graded on having to do over a 65. We do the pacer test weekly. Going to the nurse doesn't help, she insists its because im a little chubby and need to work out. I go to the gym almost everyday for 2 hours + or do at home workouts. Yet, another flaw in New Jersey schools, Back to the bully. My mom asked for the girls schedule to be changed. There's two other girls in my class that she has problems with, so it makes sense to change her schedule. I am writing this from the guidance office. I was told to stay here and come here until they can change her schedule. What about the two other girls? Do they just have to obtain the death stares and name calling. I have to sit here, no work to do since its the second day of the semester. And dont have my phone since this place isnt a hang out session. Changes need to be made, they dont stop theses girls from making our day a living hell. Imagine having to go to the bathroom and then being scared since one of the girls could be in there. Imagine knowing that the school isnt on your side. Imagine the vice principal bluntly say to you and your mother that HE is sick of dealing with this all, as if we arent. Imagine changing where you go to class so you dont run into them, imagine not wanting to get the education you deserve because you dont want to be made fun of for always answering the questions. Imagine girls who hate you follow you home, make fun of your deceased parents, make fun of your weight and just imagine not being able to feel anymore. Imagine just being so fed up and wanting help, for it to be over. But not knowing where to go or what to do.

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.
