How To Get Over That Green-Eyed Monster, Jealousy

If you know me, you know that I am a jealous person. I can be jealous in my friendships as well as in my romantic relationships. I definitely have learned to identify this jealous behavior and actions and correct them more than I used to in the future. Here are tips on how to get over that gigantic green monster otherwise known as jealousy.

1. Put trust in the people in your life.

You don't know for a fact that they're going to hurt you so enjoy the time with them instead of focusing on the negatives.

2. Focus on the positives.

If you have a positive outlook on life, everything will be better.

3. Have open and honest communication with the people in your life.

Make sure people in your life know how you are feeling so that they can maybe reassure you on things that you may not be sure about.

4. Take a step back from the situation.

Make sure you think about how you're going to react before you do something you're going to regret.

5. Know your worth.

Know that you are enough and that you are worthy of all things.

6. Don't fixate on situations.

Go out and have fun rather than be consumed as to what other people in your life are doing.

7. Realize that situations are two-way streets.

Just because some girl down the block keeps trying to talk to your boyfriend about how she misses spending snow days with him and tells him how good he looks doesn't mean that he will leave you for the easy piece of the week.

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.
