Sooner than you think you'll stop being alive and you'll start living.

A Letter To Middle School Me

Middle school wasn't exactly the best time of my life, but I persevered and have had a heck of a ride through life since then. If I were to write a letter to my middle school self, it would probably go something like this:


Dear Me,

Hey, how's it going? Yeah, that was a stupid question wasn't it? The guys gave you a hard time in gym class again didn't they? Let me guess, you also just spent the day impatiently waiting for school to end so you could go home and shut yourself in your room, didn't you? I'd also bet anything you went to bed wondering if you would ever have friends and if you could hate your life any more than you already do. Well, let me tell you something: your life is about to explode in ways you couldn't imagine. Once high school starts, you'll have a high quality group of friends and even your first girlfriend. You will have more confidence than you have ever had, and you will expand your horizons and finally break out of your shell.

Your life expands even more in college. The friendships you form in college are the strongest bonds you've ever had. You feel like a completely different person, and your problems from middle school seem like distant memories. You know those guys who picked on you and the people who just stood there watching it happen? Well, you won't have to worry about them anymore because once you enter high school you never cross paths with them again. You will go through some hard times and some wonderful adventures, so just keep going with your head held high, because this is all just around the corner. Life is a wild ride and sooner than you think you'll stop being alive and you'll start living.


Sincerely,

You.

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:

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.
