It's inevitable that as we encounter love, we are also bound to run into heartbreak. And though it may be painful in the moment and for a little while after, you come to realize that there are so many lessons to be learned from a failed relationship. Here are 15 of the most useful bits of wisdom that you could acquire after you get your heart broken:

1. Just because you love each other doesn't make you right for each other.

2. Your friends and family will be your biggest supporters.

3. Heartbreak can be a source of inspiration and creativity.

4. You're lying to yourself when you say you'll never love again.

5. You realize that you deserve better than what you've had.

6. You can't change someone or convince them to love you back.

7. Your needs are always just as important as your partner's.

8. No matter how it feels in the moment, your breakup isn't the end of the world.

9. Your heart will heal as time goes on.

10. You learn to be more guarded so that people have to earn your trust.

11. You realize that no one owns your happiness except for you.

12. The time alone helps you discover more about yourself than you knew before.

13. There is no "right way" to bounce back after a breakup, it all depends on who you are.

14. You learn to trust your intuition when it comes to letting someone into your heart.

15. Surviving heartbreak helps you realize just how strong you truly are.

Getting your heart broken is a precursor to you finding your soulmate. You can't be too sure about who and what you want until you're confident about what you don't want. So don't be discouraged by a breakup; it's making you stronger and prepares you for the future. When you meet your forever love, you'll know.

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.

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.
