Learning to love the mishaps will help you grow

moving on is necessary

I am by no means an expert on life. If I'm being honest, who really is? We are all facing battles or bumps daily. It is so easy to get angry and throw something at the wall, scream in your pillow, or even just sit and listen to sad music. Why do we listen to sad music, when we are sad? I always say that I do, because I want to let all my sadness out. I know, that sounds crazy right? Even though it does sound crazy, it seriously works for me. It is as if me being mildly sad wasn't enough, so now I'm going to listen to The Fray or Coldplay to get really sad. Then, after I'm done being a baby I think about all the reasons I should be happy. We are all human and sometimes we just need to let out our emotions. I know that sometimes you feel crazy and maybe you don't want to tell someone why you are upset. Maybe you don't think they will understand, or make you feel better. That is a risk you might have to take. If you don't tell anyone you will keep it to yourself and try to "move on" or forget. The thing is, you can't "move on", unless you let go of something. You might think you are fine and have moved on, but it will always come back until you truly give it the needed emotions. Bottling up so much emotion and anger will crush your soul.

Life isn't suppose to be an easy game of glow in the dark mini golf. If it was easy, you would never learn anything. You are given tasks that seem impossible, so that when you actually overcome them you feel a feeling like no other. You have achieved a rewarding moment or reached a new level in life. That moment in your life might be small to some, but to you it means the world and more. One thing I have to share, is that you must, without a doubt, love your mistakes. Everything happens for a reason, there is no accident as to why you are here. There might be things you wish you could've done better, but you did them exactly like you were suppose to. So DO NOT dwell on the past. Look at today and see how you can help or live more in the moment. We can't control what happens, but we can control what we learn from it. Seek to learn, love and grow.

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?

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.
