Justification For My Absence

I was away for a while, but I have a very good reason.

I've got to be honest with you everyone, I've been at least two weeks since I've written an article and there is a slight reason why. I have been very busy.Very, very busy. You could ask my dad about that he would confirm this information. The extent of my business has led me to not turn to write for over two weeks and for me to be extremely stressed out and very tired and stress-eating saltines at 10:30 in the evening.

However, I have slightly calmed down, and gotten a small amount of sleep, so now I can explain why I have been so busy and also, at some point, possibly apologize for the fact that I have not been writing. I have yet to decide if I will be apologizing to any more people than the ones who I have already apologized to, so we'll see what happens as we get further into this article. If I'm being honest, I'm still slightly stressed, but I've come down to normal stress level instead of a psycho Katherine stress level so there's really no saying for what is going to happen.

I did this thing over my winter break called work, and that was honestly the entire reason that I was stressed and tired and slightly a ghost of a human. I work in a grocery store, as a thing called a coordinator-which meant I'm technically management, but have no real management abilities.

I am not allowed to hire or fire people, despite constantly asking if I can do so, and I can't make any big decisions. I can, however, open and close the store, which means I might have to work as early as six am, and as late as midnight. It is, understandably, tiring. For the first few weeks of January, this was a lot worse than usual. I was also taking an online class, and the mix of school and work almost drove me insane. So no articles were written.

And then, I had to move back into college for the semester, and suddenly another week of writing was due and I was again, very tired.

Extremely tired.

It's literally only the third day of the semester and I am honestly so tired already and have already had a slight nervous breakdown. But now that I have calmed down I will be writing again. This was all just me easing back into it because, if I'm being honest, it's been a month. Sorry about that.

See you soon, with a much more interesting article.

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.
