Self Reassurance

We need to remind ourselves, again, of all the things we can do.

Self Reassurance
Jazmin Leanne Alvarez

Self reassurance. When you’re down or feel like you’re just stuck and not going anywhere in life, you always have to reassure yourself. Yeah, it's great to have people tell you that things will be okay and that your time will come, but ultimately it's gotta come from you.

As we get older, and when we are much older, we always are going to have times of doubt with regardless of what we do. Maybe you don't think you did well on an exam, or you think you're not going to get a certain job, the list goes on. However, in those times, you have to reassure yourself that you are capable of doing doing great things! We let ourselves down so much. I know from personal experience that sometimes I can be a little negative because I feel like if I'm positive or confident about something that I might jinx it. I am someone who needs to sometimes... or most of the time (come to think of it), reassure myself that I did fine and that I am fine.

This all comes to play with what I talked about last week, about self comparison and not feeling confident with your own life. You have to assure yourself that wherever and whatever you're doing right now is going to pay off in the end and make you happy. At the end of the day, they only person who really truly needs your acceptance and approval is yourself. Not to say you need to disregard everyone else, but just be confident with what you’re doing. We always seek assurance from other people because as humans we do care a lot about what those people think, not realizing that it slows us down from living our own life. The moment we start accepting ourselves and our own lives and reassuring ourselves, is when we can truly live and be our purest form of happy because every decision that is made is something we care about.

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.
