Remeber That Challenging Times Are Temporary

Remember who is there for you and who is just there to ONLY tell you that everything is going to be okay.

Remeber That Challenging Times Are Temporary

I know times are difficult right now; I know you're not in the position that you wish to be in right now. But, just remember that it is only temporary. There is a reason why certain things that are bad refuse to last. That reason is because bad things are not meant to stick around forever.

As much as you think that it is, it's not.

I promise that things will look up, just keep working hard and understand that something good is going to come your way. It may not be today or tomorrow, but soon. I also know that waiting is also challenging. It is not the most exciting thing in the world but I promise that it is worth it.

There is no such thing as being in a bad situation forever. Why do you think some people praise the current situation that they are in? That is because they were once in the situation that you are currently dealing with right now. Feeling so hopeless and lost is normal. Don't feel ashamed of trying to find who you are, we're still on that journey.

You never truly truly know who you are, but you certainly find your purpose. It may not be right away, but just like that it, it will come... Your purpose will be right there waiting for you. Also remember who is there for you and who is just there to ONLY tell you that everything is going to be okay. If someone is truly meant to stay in your life, that means that they have seen you struggle and are willing to guide you continuously. Always remember that those who are still there for you are STILL here for a reason.

I'm very happy that I surround myself with individuals who only want the best for me. There may have been some bumpy roads to this current state, but there will be plenty more. This is only the beginning. For those of you that can relate, hang on; we're on the same ride together. Things are not perfect now for a reason. It means that bigger and better things are coming. We may not expect it now... But it's there. Let's keep preparing for it.

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.
