The Key To Bettering One's Life

The light at the end of the tunnel.

The Key To Bettering One's Life
Savanna Stevie

Hope.

A word that goes beyond its meaning and something that lives inside every single person.

It helps the world go round and is the reason people continue to get up every morning.

We do not know what our future consists of, so God created hope.

There is no such thing as a perfect world. Things go wrong and fear can sometimes take over us.

There are times when all there is left to do is to put your trust in God and your hope in the universe.

Sometimes, the outcome we hope for does not go our way, but we continue to keep that hope.

Life has its ups and downs, and that is how it goes, but there is more to life than what we can see.

We were taught that faith, hope, and love are the keys to a good life.

It does not matter if one believes in God or not -- hope is something that everyone takes part in.

The world is a scary place where scary things can happen.

If one does not pray for a better world, then we know that they are hoping for one.

And the world does not have to be a scary place.

People, a lot of times, find themselves in a dark place and the only thing that keeps them going is that light at the end of the tunnel - hope.

The word itself gets thrown around a lot, but it all comes down to how optimistic we are about it.

You hear it said in songs and sometimes even meet people who share the name.

Before a big test, you hope for the best because that is all one can do at the time.

It is a state of mind in hopes of a positive outcome to occur.

We not only can hold hope for ourselves, but we can also give it to others as well.

It has become something that is said multiple times a day without even knowing it was said.

Hope has the ability to keep people on their toes and to live with an open mind.

Not many things can do that to a person and that is why hope is so powerful.

When people who care for one another come together, hope is strengthened because of their bond.

Along with hope, of course, faith and love are two very important things to have as well,

But, sometimes all we are left with is hope.

Hope helps us to envision our future and motivates us to take the steps to make it great.

At the end of the day, hope can provide us with the key to making life that much better.

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.
