I Am Not Ashamed Of Having A Sweet Tooth

Indulging in sugar and sweets has always been a thing I would do as a kid, and this habit has transitioned into my early life as an adult. Besides my love for caffeine I have developed as a college student (thanks, coffee), I would still indulge in the sweets I used to eat as a kid. Some of these sweets include candies like chocolate and gummies. As people know, too much sugar is not good for the human body. Yet, I know when to cut my limits down with sugar, and having a sugar addiction isn't as bad as having an addiction with other substances that can produce more serious consequences.

To start off, having a small addiction or craving to sugar isn't as bad as it seems. As long as someone consumes it once and then is it alright. It is much better to have a small craving or addiction to sugar rather than other negative substances including alcohol or drugs. I would much rather pay a visit to the dentist for having one or two cavities as opposed to having a life with an increased risk for cancer, and my brain cells being killed when I consume alcohol. An addiction to drugs and alcohol can tear friendships apart, while an addiction to sugar can actually bring people together such as going out for ice cream, or buying chocolate at a candy shop.

I know I am not the only person who has a small addiction. There are many people out in the world who love to indulge in sugary snacks. For me, I love treating myself whenever I should celebrate. Some forms of celebration include acing a final exam, finishing a long day of school, and when I received good news in my life like landing a good job. One moment I remember when treating myself out was when I found out I was selected to be a facilities assistant at DePaul. The process was extremely competitive, and I treated myself and bought gummy bears. The way I celebrate accomplishments is by satisfying my sweet tooth.

It's important to consume things in moderation, and I want people to indulge in something and treat themselves to what their interests and likes are. I want people to be happy, and you should be happy when you accomplish something. A way I make myself happy is with indulging with sweets, and I am not ashamed of this.

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.
