And you are your own self. I like that.

Hey! I'm Alex.
Hailee Jeske

Hello. My name is Alex. My favorite color is blue. I'm interested in photography, writing, and vinyl records. I'm a senior in high school and am going off to college soon. I run on the track team and have been running since the 5th grade. I hate following rules and I love living without a strictly detailed plan. My mind runs fast and I go with the flow comfortably and am happiest without a schedule. I may be relaxed but my work ethic is strong and when I'm told to do a task, I complete it. I've never been good at math, but I do well in all other subjects. I have big dreams for my life both leisure-wise and career-wise like traveling the world and scoring a nice job in a big city at a company I enjoy.

Well that's my condensed autobiography for you, now allow me to tell you why I wrote all about myself tonight.

I'm 110% positive that your own biography wouldn't sound exactly like mine. I'll even take it a step further, I'm sure that out of the seven billion-some people living on the earth right now, no one would have a story that sounds like mine. That's a wonderfully, beautiful thing. Everyone is different and everyone has their own personality. That makes them happy, that's all. Everyone deserves their chance at happiness. Finding what interests you and makes you happy is necessary in enjoying life. There's no way that every single person is going to view an object the same as the next and how that impacts them is all a part of their personality. Personalities range all over the place. In same cases, we may enjoy another person's personality and in some others, we may collide and disagree. That's completely fine. It's in those collisions that we realize that there is no way that we will be able to please everyone we encounter. Some people are meant to NOT be a directly positive influence to us, it's the collision in itself that is positive to us in a way or form. When you're living in a sphere filled with seven billion other personalities, you are bound to find yourself disagreeing with someone and it's meant to happen.

I've realized that not everyone will agree with me in life and that's wonderful. If everyone in the world had the same personality then nothing would be interesting. Everything would be looked at from the same angle even though beauty can be found at so many different angles. I'm glad that someone else's favorite color is red and that they love having rules and structure. I love the fact that someone else would hate having a job in a downtown office. I love that everyone is different than me. I love that although we are all human, we are all wildly different.

Don't hate someone because they don't click with you. Don't think of someone any less because of the way they view the world. Besides, they are on the same hunt for happiness as you, and no one should be deprived of that. Embrace the differences of the world, it keeps this place colorful.

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.
