why I am happy i've had my heart broken

A heartbreak is essential. Especially in life. You have now become curious. This may be due to your lack of understanding a heartbreak; never experiencing one. Or you are just genuinely curious. Regardless, I’m just happy I have your attention.

Let's use high school as an example. In this domain of drama and chaos, relationships seem to be a constant factor. Who’s dating who. However, to be quite frank, I don’t give the majority of these relationships any actual admiration. It’s more just seeing someone you’re attracted to and he or she having mutual feelings. Rarely, do any couples experience the power and complexity of love.

So to reiterate my point of heartbreak and the importance of it. We as humans have a particular flaw that we either try to ignore or lie about. Let’s face it, we all take things for granted. I use the word “things” to establish the greatest spectrum of all that is contained in our reality of life. This ranges to having a job, having a family, or just being able to eat. We don’t value “things” we find as common in our daily routines. Yet, the moment that commonness disappears, all hell breaks loose and social media blows up.

Heartbreak… This teaches those who experience it, a life lesson. Lets direct heartbreak in regards to relationships. Simply to create an easier understanding. Ryan and Vicki date. Vicki is a great girlfriend but Ryan gets used to this and becomes complacent. After a period of disaster relationship wise, they break up.

In the next few months, Ryan misses Vicki and realizes that he made a mistake. He goes back. Vicki is gone. Ryan and Vicki will both experience one of the greatest life lessons ever in the segment of their lives.

We grow as people when we understand a loss that can never be fixed. Or in that specific time period. A factor is how we as people do not possess the ability to make right; only to rely on time.

For myself, as a writer, heartbreak has taught me to understand that in order to love anyone, I must first love myself. I must learn to live in the moment. Heartbreak has taught me that happiness is a choice and there’s always wisdom and light, even in the darkest of times.

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.
