"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."
- Dr. seuss

This is the first day of the rest of your life. Today is the day when you wander to a closed door and you discover that there is another door that just opened up for you. A new opportunity came for you, and I know that you're ready for this. Please know that this is not the end, it's just the beginning of something wonderful that is about to happen to you.

This is a new chapter of your life story that is getting ready to unfold right in front of your eyes. This is your chance to do what you've been dreaming to do for so long. When you walk across that stage to retrieve that diploma or degree that you've worked so hard to get. You won't forget the people who helped you get you there.

Not only did you work hard to get where you are today, but many others around you had helped you and supported you through your journey to help you find what you're looking for.

Whether you decide to continue your education or to walk through the doors of the workforce. You learn something new every day. Your parents teach you new things every day whether you notice it or not. Your teachers or professors teach you something that probably never knew before. Your boss or your co-workers teach you something that you probably never thought about doing before. Whether you want to or not, you learn something new every day.

I encourage you to better your education. Because education is key to find a great job that you want or dream to do in the future.

So on this day of your graduation, whether you are a high school student who just graduated and received your diploma or a college student who just graduated and received your degree. Please, take a moment to thank everyone who has helped you along the way to get you where you are today. You didn't get here by yourself, you had help from your friends, your family, and your loved ones.

I want to be the one to congratulate you. Because I know that you can and I knew that you would. So, here's congrats to a wonderful graduate, because you made it. You believed that you could and so you did.

- Someone who has 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.

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.
