We feel your pain, literally.

If you google "characteristics of a Pisces" the results are pretty much all the same. They are loyal, gentle, passionate, patient, etc. However, the phrases "deeply empathetic," "gentle," and compassionate" seem to stick out to me the most. I know it is currently Scorpio season, but it is never too early to take a moment and give some appreciation to us Pisces folks out here!

I am always told that I act like such a Pisces, but what does this mean? Well for starters, it is really hard to hear a sad story about someone, whether it is a close friend or complete stranger, without wanting to cry. I even call my deep empathy for people as "hyper-empathy" because of how amplified my feelings of empathy can get. I understand others' pain on a deeper level and this can be a good and a bad thing. It is good because it shows people how much we truly care about them. The bad part is that this can lead to people taking advantage of us; they know how much we care because we never walk away.

Another double-edged sword about being a Pisces is that we act with our heart, not our minds.

I sometimes let my emotions get the best of me because thinking logically is not always my go-to option. I have faith in outcomes that are really impractical but believe will somehow work out anyway. Therefore, my idealistic nature does not always give me the best results, but I choose to enact upon them anyway, hoping a miracle will happen.

Distractions. We all have them. Whether it is a drug, a TV show, or a special someone in our lives- it can be a part of our daily lives. However, Pisces are more likely to get lured into distractions than any other sign. It is often hard for me to focus on a task for a long period of time because of how easily distracted I get. My brain has this tendency to overthink about random situations at the worst times. When I'm studying, my mind tends to wander and I end up thinking about what my friends are up to or how excited I am to watch the new episode of "Grey's Anatomy."

I know I've mainly listed negative characteristics about Pisces so far and how much of a mess we can be, but there are a lot of qualities about us that make us really special people, too. For example, we are loyal, family-oriented, caring, and passionate. I know that for me, family and friends come before anything else. My best friends are practically like family and I find so much comfort in spending time with my parents when I come home on some weekends.

The love we can give is so much bigger than what we can handle, but we give it anyway, and that is what makes us someone to count on, confide in, and love.

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.
