For The Person That Wished They Had a New Year's Kiss

We've never been so frustrated about meeting an 11:59 deadline.

Inner thoughts on New Year's Eve: "Move to the closest person near you at 11:59, a couple side smirks and rocks to the music. Look at me ! Yes eye contact ! The chemistry's there? Yes. So i'm good. OK ! He/She knows why I'm right here... Here goes nothing... BLAM ! -- kissed ! Good Luck all year. *does the Carlton Dance"

Hey you !

If you were wondering, the picture above was basically me on New Year's. No, not the couple, but the girl on the side holding the drinks HaHa ! Seeing almost everyone kiss around you is the face of receiving pajamas as a Christmas gift for the third year in the row:

So, you didn't get your kiss for the start of 2017 ? That's OK ! Its just superstition anyways. Growing up, New Year's was all about having fun, drinking soda, and being with family and friends. Notice, how all of these superstitions didn't mean anything until we became conscious-understanding (young) adults. Fast forward to now, If you've done research online you've seen that there are a multitude of articles that tell us that we can get good luck in love ALL YEAR LONG if we kiss when the clock strikes 12.

Unfortunately, that didn't happen for everyone. If you're reading this, then it may not have happened to YOU. I can assure you that there's no "bad luck" associated with not receiving a kiss. I've heard of many other New Year's traditions that could affect your year such as: eating 12 grapes, wearing multiple colored underwear, cooking blackeyed peas, greens, and pork. Did you do one of those or have your own?There's a good 7 times out of 10 chance that the special girl or guy that you were hoping to kiss, could very well have been kiss-less too, so there's still hope for you two !

That's just one night, but if you continue to bring your great value and qualities along with you into 2017 then you'll find happiness. Tons of things fall under happiness. Make yourself first this year, learn a new language, do more of your favorite hobby, travel, learn yourself and learn to love and give love to others.

May your new year be blessed, and filled with less stress.

Every day is a new day, and you'll never be able to find happiness if you don't move on. - Carrie Underwood

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.

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.
