Self Confidence Is Learned, Not Earned

"Start becoming the person you always dreamed of."

In our society nowadays, the media puts out so many things that are "claimed" to be considered the perfect or ideal type person. Being that everyone always wants to be seen as that perfect person, people are willing to do whatever it takes to become that person. But screw that. People need to learn how to be confident with themselves, just the way they are.

I personally feel that it is very important to learn how to accept yourself for you. Yes, you can always improve upon yourself, but that doesn't mean you can't love how you are in the present. You grow as you get older, and learn more and more through many different life experiences.

These experiences are meant to teach a person about themselves, life and many other things. Along with this, the experiences are meant to build a person into a stronger, more intelligent and smarter person.

To learn self confidence, you have to understand what it is and how it works. You have to trust yourself. Self-confidence is not something we are born with. When you see your favorite celebrity in the media, and you instantly think, "I wanna be just like them," you have to understand that you have the capability of having the self-confidence they do. They may appear perfect in every way possible, but I am sure there is something that they do not like about themselves. Which leads me to another thing. Self confidence is about accepting your flaws and knowing how to work with them (or just work them).

You could spend so much time trying to figure out how to be like someone else, but don't waste the time that you have to be able to show off to the world the amazing person you are.

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.
