To The Person Who Saved Me

               Almost a year and a half ago I did not think I would be in the place I am today, my story was very different a year ago. I would lay in my bed at night crying myself to sleep over what had happened the night before. The person who I once trusted the most had come back to take yet another part of me. I had gotten to the point of acceptance, accepting that this is my reality everyone comes across something bad in their lives. This was my something bad. But I held on to the thought that maybe I wasn't completely broken, there had to be someone out there capable of loving me right? Problem is I didn't know if I was going to be able to find them, and if I did would I be able to keep them. 

Growing up in a house like mine was the same as living in a prison, quiet and lonely. There is no one you can trust, no way to get out, and no one to come help you. That was my reality until I met Alex. She is like no one I have ever met before, she showed me things I didn't even know existed. Self-love is one of the biggest things I've struggled with but after a year of encouragement and guidance I have come to the conclusion that I deserve the best. I knew the moment I met Alex that I never wanted to lose her, she was something special. Alex is the best thing that has ever happened to me, and I will never know why but she chose me. 

Now it has been a little over a year and I am still falling in love with my best friend. Don't get me wrong, it isn't always rainbows and happiness in our relationship. But who want's that? Alex will be the first one to call me out on something i've done wrong, but still be there waiting with arms open when I need her the most. And I think that's what true love is, you have good and bad days love isn't always 50/50 sometimes you have to pick up that 80/20. It isn't always perfect, sometimes we argue and disagree but at the end of the day there is no one else I would rather be with or grow with. I would not want to do life with anyone else.

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.
