An Open Letter To The Person I Have Become

I never thought you would be this person, but look at you!! You did it. You are the you that you have been wanting to be.

An Open Letter To The Person I Have Become

Dear future me,

I think it's important to look back and realize that the person you used to be, is someone in which you are no longer. The progress you have made these past few years, or even months, is unbelievably remarkable. You should without an absolute doubt be so proud of yourself and the person that you have become, because who would have thought that you would end up to be the person you are now, even a year ago from today?

I have to say, if you are in any way not happy with who you are now, just look back at how things were a year ago (whether they were better or worse) and take note for just a minute as to how much can truly change.

Life is constantly going through an abundance of ups and downs, and no two things will stay the same and nothing going on will stay as is forever. It is important to realize how much your life is capable of changing and what happens as the months go on.

On the other hand, if you ARE in fact happy with how life is going, then it is important to look back at the times where you wished that your life would be like how it is now, and how far you have allowed yourself to come. Life is good, but you most likely worked hard in multiple aspects to be where you are today.

All in all, regardless of what is currently happening in your life or where you are at, you have worked hard to get here. Everything you receive out of life does not just happen and get handed to you, so it is essential to be proud of yourself and to take note of your accomplishments.

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.

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.
