My Privacy Shouldn't Be Invaded

It shouldn't be, but it's been invaded so many times.

Invasion of Privacy Attorney

To whose who have invaded my privacy:

Invasion of property isn't just a law where you can file a lawsuit against someone once they invade your privacy and spread personal information.

It's a sign of disrespect and poor etiquette.

I've experienced it a few times in my life by people who I trusted and loved. I struggled with trying to keep my privacy secure for a while and when I finally was able to keep it private again; it happened again.

I've never felt so violated when I found out someone was in my room when I was asleep. No, it wasn't my roommate or one of my suite mates, it was a friend who thought it was okay to find another way into my room just to talk.

I've never felt so harassed when my personal life was being shared because people were "worried". My situation was passed around by people I wasn't close to. I was confronted by people I had barely friendships with and felt so vulnerable when I couldn't ask who told them about my own personal life.

I felt vulnerability to a high.

Being constantly scared of invasion of privacy can make someone go crazy. I've shut myself out and away from friends. I lost trust in some.

My advice on how to deal with it? I have none; all I do is feel anxious and worried about my privacy being invaded again.

And for the people who have invaded my privacy? Know that my ability to trust you again is held back by the vulnerability and fear I now feel. No one should have to wonder when someone else is going to come barging in on their life, uninvited.

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.
