A Letter To My Worrisome Self

Worry about those who matter.

A Letter To My Worrisome Self
Taylor Caponigro

My whole life I always defined myself as a people person. I loved surrounding myself with people at all times because of the utter joy companionship brought to me. As I got older, I started to worry a little too much about the people around me. I worried too much about people that didn't matter and wasted time on those who really didn't deserve my attention at all. Now as an adult, I still find myself struggling to stop worrying about others who don't worry about me.

You deserve to worry about people in your life that want to be there.Stop sweating the small stuff. Stop worrying about people who have no influence on your life. Stop putting forth effort for those that don't matter. As simply put, weed out the bad in life. When you were younger, it was hard to tell the bad from the good. However, now as an adult, it is easy to point out those who don't add to your life. Surround yourself with people that make you genuinely better. Be with people who challenge, impact and add to every aspect of your life. No person is worth your worry if they do not add some value to your life. This is a hard fact to accept, but taking out the worry will add so much more joy to your life. You will start appreciating those who don't make you worry more. You will respect the value and impact those that want to be in your life have. Remember to treat every one person with kindness and respect, but never dwell on those who lack an effort towards you. Life is too short to be upset or mad about those who do not matter. Life is too short to not praise those who do matter and to always appreciate them with your all. You are worthy of people who lift your spirits. There are so many amazing people in your life, don't sweat those who make you feel any less than worthy of yourself.

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.
