It'll Get Better, Just You Wait

It feels like the world is a never ending pit of sorrow and destruction but there's always a light to guide us through to the end.

To that someone who needs a certain push, who is feeling depressed beyond compare or who has just recently been through a tragedy that simple words cannot explain.

I'm not here to tell you the situation that you're or the feelings that you're feeling right now don't matter because they do. Sometimes we need to dwell on the things that are troubling us in order understand the bigger picture and that's okay. It's okay to feel down, to feel depressed, to feel like you've been thrown into a pit all alone in the darkness.

But let me tell you this: you're not alone. There are hundreds if not thousands of people around you who know what you're going through and who have seen the horrors that you've seen. Even if they haven't there are still people who are there for you and are willing to go through any lengths to see you through to the next day, next year or the rest of your life.

This doesn't just go for people who are depressed, but for anyone who feels that they're alone in the fight they're fighting or feel as if there is no end to what they're going through. There is an end to the sorrow, the anger and the hatred that you might hold in your heart for whatever reason.

I want to tell you that things will get better. It may take a while to get better. It may take days, months, or even years but there will be a light in the darkness that will lead you to happiness, content, or satisfaction.

You may be asking, who the hell am I to tell you this and what do I know in the first place? How could I, a random stranger off the internet, know what I am feeling right in this present moment?

Because, I've been there. I know what it feels like to hate yourself, be scared of everything and everyone around you, and to feel like there is no escaping the hell that I've managed to get myself into. I know what that consuming feeling of fear and sorrow feels like and it's something I won't soon forget.

It took me a good year or two to get better and it was something that almost robbed me of my whole entire senior year of high school. The feelings I felt and the images that crossed my mind royally sucked, they really did, but I emerged from that period of time a stronger person and a better human being.

It can happen to literally anyone, because before it actually happened to me, I thought that anxiety and depression weren't real and that it would never in a million years would happen to me. But it did. And I made it through.

My dad told me while I was listening to "Going Under" by Evanescence if I ever felt the way the song was explaining to tell him. I responded by saying don't worry it won't ever happen. But low and behold it did and I have him, my mom and the rest of my family to thank for getting me out of the hole that I managed to fall into.

Wherever you are, at school, at home, or at work, I want you to know that you are loved and that whatever you're going through will improve. Sure, you may have to climb a few mountains, swim a few rivers and cross a couple of valleys to get there but you will find a sense of peace.

Don't worry about the small stuff and try to remember that there are people out there who love and care for you whether it be a family member, a friend or a community of people who are going through the same thing.

Sometimes things have to get worse before they improve, but don't worry.

Because it'll get better, just you wait.

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.
