If you were to ask me what the greatest feeling in the world is, I wouldn't give you some sappy answer like love or being surrounded by my loved ones. I would tell you that the absolute best feeling is feeling motivated. Feeling like you are on top of the world and can literally do and create anything.

I don't get to experience this feeling often and I know many, many people lack this feeling as well. Our motivation gets trampled by life and we continue to let be suffocated because we're too busy to even think about it. We aren't motivated. We're just going through the motions to get to some end goal that seems way too far away.

I have goals and I know you have them too. Remember what it felt like that moment you decided to conquer that goal? You were going to get a college education. You were going to write a book. You were going to travel the world. You felt excited and your blood was pumping. Didn't that feel amazing? That feeling is something we should feel on a daily basis because this life can get hard and when we forget why we're playing the game, the game seems pointless.

I want you to remember why you started. Let that motivate you and drive you forward. Whether you chose this goal or were thrown into it, I want you to remember what go you to this point in your life and I want you to remember why you're doing it. You might be a college senior and a few semesters away from being the first in your family to earn a college education. You might be a marathon runner a few strides away from running that race. You might be a mom raising a toddler and are about to watch this beautiful child grow up.

Let the obstacles and hardships motivate you because you've got this. Let every bad day and every pointless moment drive you forward because, in the end, it will be worth it. Motivate the madness and propel yourself towards that end goal.

This may all sound cheesy and resemble a blurb on the back of a motivational hardcover sold at Target, but I want you to know this because I want you to conquer those goals. Semesters are hard. Raising children is hard. Working is hard. Life is hard.

However hard it may be, you've got this and once you are at the end, every crappy moment and every stressed-out, tear-streaked breakdown will be worth it because you did it. You will get there.

Motivate your madness babe.

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.
