I Got Hit By a Bus

My metaphorical way of saying shit happens

I Got Hit By a Bus
Neatoshop.com

I have the best diet tip in the world. Stress. I literally never eat anything unless I have to. I'm diabetic. And I'm pretty sure death isn't knocking on my door anytime soon. Life is a very funny thing, you're living by a script you didn't create and putting together chapters you don't have any control over. Life has a way of kicking you in the teeth and unless you're interested in masochism, it doesn't feel so great. I know what it feels like to feel worthless. To think that you're entire life is defined my something big, or big by your perception. I live in a constant world of "you're not good enough". What gets me is when people think you say those things or act that way because you're asking for attention. Truth be told, I hate attention. I'd rather be a wallflower, hell the picture frame that no one bothers to notice. The one that collects dust. Call me crazy but the more people notice, the more they realize how flawed you are. How unintelligent you are. You're not pretty enough, or skinny enough. The constant state of berating yourself. I know what that's like. I don't judge because I understand. I don't belittle because I used to get that. And I don't hate because I know how it feels. So I live a robotic life with a perfectionist setting, trying hard not to step out of line. I walk the straight and narrow path so that I am never seen breaking a sweat. Do you know how hard it is to try to be perfect, to aim for the sun but constantly getting stuck on the moon. To try your best only to continue getting rejected. Maybe you do, because that's life. And life is never quite fair, rather a Shakespearean play with rare happy endings. I'm just waiting on mine.

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!

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.
