broken, lonely, confused.

Inside The Life Of Katelyn

I post a lot of sad shit, but I’m not always a sad person. I have my good days and I have my bad days, everyone does. if you ask me if I’m okay, I’m probably going to lie and say yes. but truth be told I’m not.

I’m broken and I’m picking up the pieces one by one. my day to day mood depends on a variety of things, including the memories I think about every night before bed. some good, some bad.

I suffer from depression. I overthink. I over analyze. I overeat. I oversleep. somedays are harder than others. everybody copes differently.

I try my best to be the best person I can be day in and day out, id give you my last dollar and the shirt off my back any day of the week if it would help you out in the moment or in the long run.

I cry, a lot. what girl doesn’t? sometimes I randomly cry because of a song that comes on the radio, other times it’s like my body has prepared itself to fill a river with the tears I’m shedding.

My life has never been butterflies and rainbows. and I don’t expect it to start now, almost 23 years later.

Everybody goes through trials and tribulations, how you deal with it depends on you.

I deal with things a lot differently now that I’m older, mainly because I can’t take out my problems with a bat and ball like I used too. but people don’t understand.

I cut people out of my life so quickly, and I don’t allow many people inside. I’m scared to love. I’m scared to care. I’m scared of people in general and that’s mainly because I learned at a young age that not everyone you meet is the person you see on the outside.

Life’s hard, for all of us. but if there is one thing I’ve learned in this 23 years of life, it would have to be to let loose and love with all your heart because that’s one thing I CAN NOT do, and I wish I could. Smile. Laugh. Love. Repeat. Don’t let past mistakes hold you back from becoming a “new” person.

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.
