The Pain Will Not Last Forever

Pain, we have all felt it and are all familiar with it. Whether it was physical, emotional, or mental pain, we have all experienced pain many times throughout our lives. It sucks to face a painful situation and it can truly break you, but you do get through it. The pain is only temporary; I am not saying it goes away, but it will not always be as painful as it is in the moment. One day the tears will be less, the heartache will not hurt as much, and it will be a little bit easier to get out of bed and face the day. Whether it is a break-up, the death of a loved one, the mean comment continuously said to you, or a job lost, it will get better. I am not saying it will ever stop hurting, but I am saying that one day it will not feel like your heart is going to explode out of your chest. One day you will be able to find a better significant other for you, reminisce on the great memories that you made with the loved one who passed away, realize the strength you gained from all of the mean comments, and find a job that is much better than the last one.

Pain is a hard thing to shake, but you can and will get through it. It takes time and does not happen overnight, but you will one day notice the difference in the you now and the you 6 months ago. You are so much stronger than the pain that is trying to hold you captive. You will get through this pain and past this pain. The beautiful part of the pain is when you get through it and you get to help someone else dealing with what you were dealing with. The pain is difficult and seems everlasting, but it is just a bump in the road.

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.
