Love your friend, the writer.

First comes the “Thank you.”

Really and truly, thank you all for being so incredibly supportive. The ones who read and share my articles every week without fail, I appreciate that more than you know! What you really don’t know is that I put a ridiculous amount of time and effort into this “little” Odyssey thing. There’s a whole process, and so much goes into it. There’s so many people that run and care about the success of each individual community. As far as articles go, I wouldn’t ever share something that I felt was pointless or that wouldn’t help someone in some way. But sometimes, that someone is me. Thank you for the feedback and the messages when I’ve helped out in some aspect of your life. Thank you to those that actually read them. Last but not least, thank you to those that think my articles are good enough to be shared to your friends.

Next, the “I’m sorry.”

I’m sorry that my posts clog up your timeline sometimes. I am sorry if you ever find it annoying. Social media is becoming something that the world relies on. Think about all the makeup groups, the itworks, and many others like it—that’s how they’re making a living essentially. I'm sorry that I am proud of the work I do and want it to be shared with others. Sorry that I have to double check with my family to make sure they’ve shared. I’m even sorry that I make you share articles that are COMPLETELY unrelated to you, but I’m so happy when you do. Sorry, not sorry, if you actually have a problem with it.

Now, the “This is important to me.”

I really love what I’ve been able to do this year and the group of people I’ve been a part of. I haven’t even been a part of this for a whole year and it’s already changed my life is so many incredible ways. I have awesome new friends from all over the country that have turned into such a supportive resource. My writing, my photos, and my stories have been viewed by thousands of people. I’ve gained invaluable skills that are going to help me in every aspect of college, work, and even life. So what am I getting at? What do I expect from my friends?

This is your time to say “It’s OK.”

Love your friend,

The Writer

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

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.
