College 101: The Key To Staying On Track

Now that I have officially been staying on a college campus for a week and school has started, I know that it is time for me to buckle down. For all my college students, it is time for us to realize the importance of setting goals especially since you are paying to do so. Goals are simply coming up with a plan for your life and trying your best to achieve everything you have planned for yourself. It doesn’t hurt to dream because what you dream may actually come true if you stay persistent and keep God first. Sometimes things may not go as planned, but that is only preparing you for your future. Nothing great comes easy. Remember to set daily, monthly, and long-term goals, and dreams. Don’t ever be afraid to dream too big. Nothing is impossible. If you believe in yourself, you can achieve it. Wake up each morning wondering what you can do today that you didn’t do yesterday to accomplish your goal. Write down your short and long term goals to keep track and remember why you chose those goals. Break your goal down because each small move or big move can push you to your final goal. Keep going whether it gets rough or difficult. If it’s worth it, you will persevere. Be sure to take in criticism from people that want to see you succeed. Not everyone has your best interest at heart, so be sure to just keep your distance from those people. Separate what’s important from things that can cause a distraction from your goal. The sooner you realize that everything doesn’t need the same attention can help bring your goal to reality. Remember to keep God first in all you do and He will lead you to all your many accomplishments.

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.

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.
