I'm Just Like A Sunflower

We are all like a sunflower. A sunflower starts off as just this little seed and grows into this tall, beautiful, magical flower. The sunflower is a symbol of power. In its depth, the sunflower seeks out positivity and strength and is also known for good luck and everlasting happiness.

All varieties of sunflowers do their growing during one year, just like us. This past year, I have learned a lot about myself, and I am GROWING and even learning, more about myself each and every day. To me, this is pretty amazing. It is amazing how each day we are growing to be better versions of ourselves. From the moment you wake up in the morning, you decide how you want to start your day, and I am hoping everyone starts their day with an open mind, ready to take on the world. Life is way too short not to be open minded, not to be the best version of yourself, and not to be courageous.

I told myself that I will be making 2017, my year. It will be my year to strive, my year to shine, and my year to become the person I always wanted to be. I am only focusing on myself because that is the most important thing a person could do. Focus on yourself because no else matters, you are your own person and you are your own inspiration. We need to embrace our true character and be who we want to be for ourselves, and not for anyone else.

I am growing into this tall, beautiful, and magical person. I am growing into a person that possess strength and positive energy. Just like the energy from the sun makes a sunflower grow, I will continue to use that positive energy to grow stronger every day.

We are all like a sunflower. We start off as this little seed, this little person, and grow into such incredible people, who individually possess such poise, strength, and courage.

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.
