College is when students begin to find themselves and try new things, you should take risks and step out of your comfort zone.

Stepping Out Of Your Comfort Zone

Have you ever been in a shell that you felt trapped? Most people have been in that situation. College is the chance for people to break free from the household rules they had while being in high school. College provides all different types of organizations, sports, and many more things for students to try.

The thing that holds us back from trying something new and being fearless is ourselves and our own fear. Fear is a biggie. Most people fear the disapproval of others or disappointing someone very important to them. I myself have had this fear before. Sometimes it is okay to do what you want to do. Yes, sometimes making risk can result in uncertain situations, but if you are smart about the things you do, you'll be fine.

Ways to step out of your comfort zone are:

1. Believe in yourself & have confidence

When you believe in yourself and have confidence anything can be possible. People tend to struggle with confidence in college. That is very understandable. Society has taken a toll on the way we view ourselves. Which that should not matter. Practice confidence and be cocky. Love yourself and shoot your shot. Step out of that comfort zone.

2. Choose your friends wisely

You will have those friends who do not judge, but you will have those friends who believe taking risk is not okay. My advice is to do what you want. Yes, have those friends who guide you in the right way, but in a positive way. Do not have friends who believe you should not have fun and be young. Have friends who fit you. Everyone needs a friend who is honest with them but is also always there no matter what.

3. Live your life

Live your life to the fullest. No one wants to look back on their younger days and be like "I was so boring back then". So go out and have fun. Go on adventures. Go try new things. Life is full of surprises. You'll be surprised at what could happen. Enjoy the beauty of life.

Step out of your comfort zone. Go live your life. Have fun.

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.
