To The Girl Who Is More Career Minded Than Marriage Minded Right Now

"But you are going to get married, right?"

I grew up in a small, country town, where many people haven't gotten used to the idea of women being independent. When I graduated, I had someone ask me, "So you have a diploma now, when are you getting married?" I laughed and replied, "I am going to college, and I will worry about that other stuff later."

I, for one, am a huge dreamer. I love to think about the impossible becoming reality. I love dreaming big. I find the idea of being stable in a career far more important than my relationship status right now. Maybe that is you, too. I love meeting like-minded individuals because it's so empowering to hear someone else's dreams. Marriage is just not something that is right for me in this phase of my life. My ambition is at an all time high, and I intend on fulfilling my purpose right now. One day, when the time is right, I will settle down and get married. That time is not right now though.

God places different dreams inside everyone's hearts. Some girls dream of being housewives. Some boys dream of being teachers. Some girls want to be CEO's, just like some guys. & Guess what - all of those are fine. We are each created as unique beings with unique dreams. So, if everyone is in different walks of life, why should we judge them in the place where God has them?

My advice is, never let the opinions of other people keep you from fulfilling the call that God has placed over your life. Small minded people will be the enemy of your potential if you listen to their sometimes degrading words. Do not doubt your call just because others see things differently. If you feel like you are supposed to be more career minded right now, be content with the mindset God has placed within you. It was not put there by accident. He knows the intricate parts within our minds because He placed them there Himself. He knows what He is doing.

Just remember: Be happy. Work towards your goals. Never stop dreaming.

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.
