Remember This Verse In Times Of Confusion: An Attempted "Rhyming" Addition

My eyes hurt and my heart aches.

No matter what I do, I am somehow always restless and always awake.

I do not know what to do anymore to stop my emotions that rage. How do I know what pain feels like for someone my age?

Fifteen to eighteen so blind and so confused. Somehow, His hidden company was always my muse.

Sometimes I feel as though I am being dramatic, and then I become ashamed. I think to myself, if I only had another shot, I wish I had another quarter left in this game.

Take this experience and use it to learn and grow they say...but how can I learn and grow from something that makes me feel pain in my heart almost everyday?

Sometimes change is great, but this kind of change is the type of change that society wants me to inevitably hate.

I do not hate this change anymore, I truly believe it was for the best. Now that it is over, I have a few things that I want to confess...

Fifteen to eighteen was when I truly felt as though I had lost all connection with my one and only divine. I now know that He bought me this heart-breaking change to simply get me back in line.

Getting back in line was not an easy task. Every single day I would constantly look to they sky and ask:

"What can I do for you to allow me to bring back my happiness of the past?"

I honestly thought that He was ignoring me, but I kept hearing a voice that told me "this too shall pass."

The feelings of confusion, sadness and pain have almost all passed away from my heart. I finally feel content with where I am in life, and I thank God everyday for what feels like a fresh start.

For the longest time I never understood why God was doing the things that He did.

However, now I understand. God took something away from me, because He never wants our connection and relationship to grow less or end.

God had a greater plan for me, even with a hard to swallow pill. Nonetheless, now I will always remember that John 13:7 states:

Jesus replied, "You do not know what I am doing now but someday you will."

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.
