Moving Up Or Moving On

There's a big difference between the two.

Moving Up Or Moving On
Personal Picture

Life gets difficult at times. We all know that. What we don't know is how we react to the difficult times help to shape who we are as people. We have to decide in that moment what kind of person we want to become. You can choose to move up or move on. Each option has its' own benefits, but one is better than the other.

After a breakup, why would you choose to just move on. It's like saying I want to move on to the next relationship, the next breakup, the next problem. Your day is filled with hatred for your job, situation, or life. You feel stuck in something that you didn't plan for or never wanted. You want to improve, but you're unsure of where to start. You don't want to continue down that same path. Why? We as people, with emotions and ideas are afraid to let go and move on. We fear the unknown and unexpected. That's okay. There's nothing wrong with being worried about things we can't control. But that's just it. We can control who we are as people. You have the choice to become better. You have the choice to be whoever you want to be and do whatever you want to do. We can become more than our parents, more than our peers, and more than ourselves. It just takes hard work and dedication to what you want. Choose to move up. Improve yourself and what you want out of your life. Life is a beautiful thing so why not live it to the fullest. Don't go backwards. Move up and keep striving for perfection or happiness. Do what will give you joy in your life. It's as easy as that.

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.

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.
