Sometimes, the happiness comes from the storm

Important Things to Remember Daily
Bailey Jenkins

Life is crazy, and it won’t slow down for anybody, but you can find happiness in reliable things.

Remember there will always be things to find solace in, and these things will always be within you and never leave. Noone can ever take away the way I feel when I write. When I see the words fall into place before me, everything is okay. And I will always be able to find comfort in a book, lost in a different reality for a little while. No one can ever stop me from going outside and looking at the stars, or going hiking to a new place. The energy that runs down my spine when I hear a good song, or the way the light falls in through the window on a sunny day. I will always take comfort in these things, no matter what happens, I will be okay. Everything is going to be okay.

Never let someone take away your happy things. It’s important to remind yourself that there is a universe inside of you, and that universe is changing every single day. You have a unique perspective on the world that no one but you will ever have. Only you know how valuable those experiences have been to you, and you’re the only who can choose who to share them with. Don’t let anyone ever convince you that your story doesn’t matter, because these pieces of everyone else’s story are what make the world feel whole.

Lastly, remember that life goes on. Even if something seems overwhelming right now, the truth is that time heals all wounds. You’ve probably heard that before.... But the reason why people say it is because it’s true. You have many, many days ahead of you, and every single day is going to hold so many different experiences and memories. You can never predict what is going to happen in a day, much less a week or month or more. Nothing you will ever experience in your life is going to be too much, because the pain only gets lesser and lesser with time. That means, however you feel right now reading this, just know that it only gets better from here. Although you will always have struggles in your life, it’s important to focus on the positive. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and eventually you will wake up and won’t care about the situation anymore. Everything is fixable, and everything is going to be okay.

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.
