Losses Can Be Blessings

Some of life's most difficult losses can be the biggest blessings. Life is full of tough losses that can take everything out of a person, but the result of that loss can be the biggest blessing in your life.

Losses are hard and the last thing people are able to see during the loss is any good possibly coming out of it. All losses can have good come out of them, but sometimes the good is a blessing. In the moment of a loss our eyes are blinded by grief, but a blessing could easily be up ahead.

When a blessing does come out of the loss and we see the result of it all, it is one of the coolest things. Losing a job is hard, but the better one to come is a blessing. Breaking up with someone is hard, but getting out of a toxic relationship is a blessing. Removing negativity from your life can be difficult, but the blessing of making your life better is a blessing. Facing your fears is hard, but living life without fear is a blessing.

Life is full of blessings in disguise that we do not look hard enough for. Life is full of losses that people face all the time. When blessings and losses are meshed together, people are changed for the better. When we start to look for the blessings life offers, life has a different look.

Life will never be loss free, but it will also never be blessing free; with losses come blessings and that is awesome. Not every loss is a blessing and not every blessing is the result of a loss, but losses can result in blessings and that is so encouraging.

Never allow a loss to determine what is going to happen because a loss is not always just a loss.

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.
