Dear You,

Okay so maybe life isn't working out exactly how you want it to at the moment. Maybe right now you're feeling a little lost and you're not sure what to do. Well, here's the good news, its okay to not be okay! No... seriously, it is. You don't have to be "on" all the time.

To further explain, stop beating yourself up because you're feeling down. Whoever told you that you would always feel like that perfect 10 going out for a night on the town...well they lied to you. There are days when you do feel like that for sure! And you should aim to feel that confidence every second, but there are days where you just want to crawl in bed and lock away the world. If you feel that way, listen to your body. If you think it would be best to skip out on your friends get together and stay in to watch Disney movies instead... do it!!!

Sometimes you have to hit the bottom to gain the confidence to climb your way back up to the top. No matter what you're going through right now in this very moment, just know that it's okay to be upset. It's always okay to not feel like yourself for a little while. If you feel like nobody's on your side, stop and look around. I promise someone knows how you're feeling. If your love life sucks right now, take a couple days to veg out in bed. But then, get up and stop feeling sorry for yourself! Yes, it is okay to not feel okay, but not for long.

I don't know anyone who is the best version of themselves 24/7. Mostly because that perfection doesn't exist. And it doesn't exist because we are all individuals! Nobody would be special if we were this perfect version of ourselves.

Don't forget that you have every right to shy away from your true confident self for a little while, but never let it consume you. Figure out what makes you happy and just keep on doing it!

From,

Someone who's been in your shoes

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.
