For the past week, my teenage self was a wreck; there was nothing I could do.

With no one to confide in, I held it in as much as I could. I remember how I put on a mask the entire week, and I refused to reveal my distraught self. The so-called "wreck" I experienced was worsened by the lack of self-confidence I possessed. To be honest, at first the wreck was bearable until I realized how much it impacted me mentally. I began to belittle myself and question myself. I began to believe that I was not attractive nor smart. My self-esteem was at its lowest that week. Many of my friends told me otherwise and that the "wreck" was not even worth my time, which I eventually realized was right.

That wreck was probably the best thing that's ever happened to me.

When a week passed and I finally conquered the largest chunk of my wreck, I realized that I want to tell all of the girls out there: don't let your insecurities eat up your confidence.

I found that being optimistic is the best route to take to prevent yourself from getting into a dilemma. I decided that I should stop thinking about all of my weaknesses, so I did. I stopped worrying about my appearance in school, my shyness and overall, just me. I admit that I did hit rock bottom when my self-esteem was crushed recently. But once you hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up, which is where I'm headed now.

I've decided to become more confident in myself. I began to love me for me. I began to realize that what brought my self-esteem down wasn't even worth my attention in the very first place. I've moved on, and I've never been more relaxed and happier in my entire life. Things began to look up for me after that. My grades were improving, and I began to realize the true meaning of life. Life isn't meant for you to brood; it's for you to get out and live your life, which I finally am.

Don't let anything or anyone bring you down because in the end, nothing is worth your time. You are unique and beautiful. No one in this world or universe can tell you otherwise.

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.
