Let's Have A Real Conversation

I want us to be foolishly open instead of selfishly guarded.

Let’s truly get lost in our conversations.

I’m the type of person that loves to talk about things people are for some reason or another terrified to talk about. Just to name a few, these could be mental health, pain, insecurities, religion, and politics. I look forward to those conversations that are worth the time and deeper than merely talking about your day, work, or the most popular topic: the weather. Real life events are what keep everything interesting in a conversation. Lately, we just don’t have enough of those meaningful conversations. It could be that you aren’t much of a person that enjoys sharing, or maybe the right friends don’t surround you. I honestly think if you aren’t having those meaningful conversations those late night heart to hearts than you really are missing out on something special.

Let’s talk about your life, how you became the person you are today, how one struggle got you to where you are, and how this one special thing about you sets you apart from the rest. I want to know more than just the simplistic fact so come on tell me why you love wearing black, tell me why you don’t want to move back home, tell me about how he/she changed your life, and tell me about that one time when you completely surprised yourself. I want to hear it all from your first broken heart to where you stand now, and what scares you to what makes you the happiest. I want to get to know you. So, tell me everything.

Don’t worry though I won’t let you do all the talking alone. I’ll tell you why I’m always so blunt, why I like to read those cliché self-help books, why he is the one always on my mind, or why it took me so long to actually search for myself. I’ll tell you about it all.

Because I want more meaningful relationships and friendships that will carry on throughout the years. I want to be able to get to know who you really are. I don’t want you to be just another face that passes on through my life. I want to be able to have those conversations that you don’t just have with everyone else. I don’t want any what ifs or maybes between us. I want us to say it all, to talk so openly, to let it all out so we can be free and leave no room for questions or later regrets.

I don’t want to know you through your social media. I want to know you through your eyes, through your voice, and through your heart. I want us to be foolishly open instead of selfishly guarded.

Let’s talk about sadness and happiness. Let’s laugh and cry. Let’s be so wise but also so silly. Let’s just talk. Let’s communicate. Let’s be ourselves.

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.
