Let me count the ways.

10 Reasons To Be Thankful

1. God: Pray every single day and night. "Have you prayed about it as much as you've talked about it?" Matthew 21:22

2. Family: Who can live without family? Whether it's your mom, dad, aunt, uncle, or even your adopted family, love them unconditionally, even if they do drive you crazy sometimes. The love they have for you may be the only strength you have at many points in your life. They are who truly keep you going.

3. Friends: "F is for friends who do things together, U is for you and me, N is for anywhere at any time at all, down here in the deep blue sea," as SpongeBob SquarePants states.

4. Boyfriend/Girlfriend: Always there know matter what. They will always be a shoulder to cry on when you need them. They're the ones you can talk to about every triumph and every struggle.

5. Job: Without my job, I'm not sure what I would do with all of my free time. My boss and my co-workers are like my second family.

6. Money: Money does get you far in life, and you can't take it with you when you go. Spend it wisely on what you need, and not what you want.

7. Car: My Pontiac G6 may not be the BEST car out there, but it gets me from point A to point B without walking. P.S. I hate walking.

8. Pet: My cat, Thomas, is my world. He will always be my little baby and make me laugh, especially when he chases the mouse around the house like it's his friend. They're always there when it seems like nobody else is.

9. College: College is life! It's to start your future. It's where you meet your sorority sisters, forever love, and your future bridesmaids. Be thankful for the education you receive, as this is the final stepping stone to the real world.

10. Clothes On My Back: I may not have the "coolest" clothes, but I'm glad I have clothes on my back. "She is clothed in strength and dignity. And she laughs without fear of the future." Proverbs 31:25

Be thankful each and every day of your life. Live for what you have, and strive for the things you don't.

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.
