"My My, Hey, Hey."

Writing is easy, surviving is easy, living is not.

"My My, Hey, Hey."
Melissa Joy

Ah, welcome. You have made it to my page, basically your little therapy sessions where you can delve into articles discussing almost anything you can name.

I have a knack for writing, it comes easy to me, it is my natural skill. Give me a paper and a pen, ask for some advice- I will give it to you. But when I need it, I find myself speechless. I can't find the words or skills I need when I am dealing with something, and if I could tell you how hard it is being there for everyone, and feeling alone as ever, all at the same time, I would never be able to explain it.

Social media is deceiving, the same with blogs/and/or videos people make. We can perceive it as though we have it all together. We can make you feel like we are confident, we can act like we have the rest planned out, but little do you know, I am still searching for the determination to get through the day. I am still wondering what next week will hold for me. My map is not finished, so I will only start with the small paths first.

This is my weak post, the post where I do not have any or even a little advice to give to anyone today. The post where you just let yourself feel, the one where you can forget about everything else and just work on yourself and the emotions. Life is full of waves, never stops. I truly hope one day I will come to my seashore; but until then, I am going to keep going. My map includes many oceans I still need to swim, and many bridges I still need to walk across.

I need your support, I need my readers to understand they are not alone, but most of all, I need to love myself again, the same way I love others.

The worst thing I ever did in this life was fade away from myself.

"It's better to burn out, than to fade away."

With all of my love to all of you, Mel.

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.
