Love Is Like A Box Of Chocolates

Forrest was not wrong in saying "Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you're gonna get." however, I feel that this is can also be related to love; you never know who you will end up with – be it temporarily or permanently.

Dating today is like that box of chocolates Forrest had, instead of reaching into a box filled with different chocolates we are reaching into the world around us, a world with so many people who come with their own flavors. We hope we get the best one after the first try but, that is not how it always works, sometimes we pick the ones we thought we would like based off first appearance but after seeing the filling within it just does not sit well with us, so we spit that chocolate out and avoid it all cost in the future or try to stomach it till we just cannot anymore. Sometimes that first piece of chocolate we pick up is the right one, it is perfect and we only stick to that kind of chocolate however, sometimes we need to try at least one of every kind in the box and that is okay-sometimes thats how people learn.

From every piece of chocolate you pick up in your life, you begin to make your own box - it could range from one sole piece to over twenty pieces and that is okay. Regardless of how many pieces of chocolates a person has in their box it does not matter, it just shows how far they have came from that first initial piece in the box. Those pieces come in all different flavors from a young vacation love, to that jerk high school boyfriend/girlfriend, your first serious relationship and your first heartbreak, all those pieces now make up who you are now in this crazy world.

Once in awhile someone comes along and sees your box, and they see where you came from and how you handled everything life has thrown at you from it's own box. They see how you were able to handle everything and grow from that and they also want to share what is in their box with you - that is the best kind of chocolate to have in your box.

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.
