Let It Go

Life's so much easier when you let things go.

Let It Go
Dryicons

Let it go. Get over it. Move on. Grow up. However, you want to say, it all means the same thing. Stop holding onto things that happened to the past and move on. It’s harmful to yourself to continue to hold onto things and above that it’s childish. So what if someone who was supposed to be your friend started talking about you behind your back? So what if your partner cheated on you So what? Does any of the really matter in the end? I don’t think so and you shouldn’t either.

By continuing to be upset and hold on to the thing that happened in the past you’re giving the person you’re upset with attention they don’t deserve. Trust me, they know you’re still mad and sometimes they take joy in it. Stop giving them that joy and start thinking about yourself instead of what they did. The best thing you can do for yourself is to move on. There is no point in staying upset with someone for something that they probably don’t even thing about anymore.

I learned a long time ago that holding grudges just makes you bitter and jealous. I’ve seen it happen to people time and time again. They hold on to something that, in all honesty, isn’t even that bad and they just become this bitter person who can’t help but get upset or angry every time they see the people who they hold that grudge against. If we’re being honest no one wants to be around someone who is constantly talking about the same thing over and over again.

All you have to do is learn to live and let live. Take it from somebody who used to be the queen of holding grudges. You’ll become a much happier and better person once you learn to let things go. Sure, there are some things that don’t deserve to be let go but that’s when the saying forgive but don’t forget comes into play. It’s okay to forgive someone for what they did even if you don’t plan on ever forgetting what they did. Again though, why would you want to remember something that leaves a bitter taste in your mouth?

When you stop holding on to things that make you upset and start letting it go you’ll see how much your life changes. You’ll be happier, that’s for sure but you’ll also be able to move on yourself and work on you instead of always holding this ball of anger or whatever feeling you have toward that person inside of you.

So be like Elsa and let it go.

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.
