A letter to my students two years later..

I can’t believe it has been two years since 32 of you wiggled your way into my heart. Two years since we struggled to get along, struggled to get to know each other. It has been two years since I learned what it is like to not take yourself seriously and just have fun.

I am so proud of all of you and I can’t believe how fast you are growing up. You have all doubled in size and shot up almost as tall and big as your personalities. You have more life than any group of kids I have ever met. Your love for each other and the place you live amazes me. You help each other grow and push each other to be better and I admire you for that. Sure you have some hiccups along the way but who doesn’t?

I think about you all often and the time we spend together. I think about all the things you taught me and I wonder if I taught you half as much.

I hope you are continuing to love and respect each other and that you continue to hold Jesus close and remember how much He loves you. Remember when things get hard Jesus is always there waiting to help you.

I hope you remember that you can be anything you want to and you are only as small as your dreams. You can do anything no matter how small you are. I hope you continue to make the world a better place. You are the future of your island and the future of the world. I am privileged to have been able to know you, even if only for a short time.

As you enter middle school, I am praying you navigate the beginning of your teenage years with grace. You are turning into little adults and I am so proud of you. I hope you continue to explore and find adventure in the things around you.

I can’t wait to see where you end up and where God leads you in your life. I know you are going to go on to do great things! Remember that I love you and I will always keep you in my prayers. Keep in touch and hopefully I will be able to visit soon!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
