Knowing You Have Found Your Kindred Spirit

"Important encounters are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other." Paulo Coelho

Knowing You Have Found Your Kindred Spirit

A kindred spirit is far more than a best friend. They are not only one with whom you share similar values, but one who understands you like no other, maintains a similar worldview, betters you, supports you in your endeavors, thrives when seeing you succeed. Kindred spirits certainly do not have to be romantic interests or partners, but simply friends, mentors, church leaders, teachers, family members. When you have found your kindred spirit, you just know. Your heart speaks to you; your souls instantly collide; you feel it deep inside of you that you have found your special human.

Knowing you have found your kindred spirit:

  1. Being with them is the best feeling. It makes your heart happy.
  2. Goodbyes are always dreaded occasions—even temporary ones.
  3. You feel like family.
  4. You don’t have to explain yourself because they understand.
  5. Your conversations flow fluently.
  6. Phones? What are phones? When you are with them, you forget about technology.
  7. You want to be around them as much as you can, to absorb their wisdom.
  8. You quickly become their biggest supporter.
  9. They fill your life with light, love, and compassion.
  10. You have a strong, shared intuition.
  11. You connect on a level that transcends the surface.


“From the moment I met you, your personality had the most extraordinary influence over me. I was dominated, soul brain and power.” ~Oscar Wilde

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.
