Smell You Later 2016

I found out who I was this past year and I can honestly say I am ready to move on to the next.

Smell You Later 2016
Valenine's Day Wishes

This year was for sure one of the most complicated yet of my life thus far. Not only did I completely mature to the best of my ability, but I really found myself through the process. Life has a funny way of working out. I am ready to close this 12 month long door and open a new one.

Not only have I had a total of 5 roommates this past year, but I now live in a new state doing something I never thought was possible back in January. Living in Vegas has always been rough. Pretty much everyone there acts very entitled and basically judges you by the way you look, who you talk to, and what you drive. I struggled tremendously with finding a way to it in.

My friends I made, kept, and lost in 2016 really has a life-long impact. I realized who the dirty snakes were, who my best friends are, and who are the ones who truly live life each day to the best of the ability. I had friends who've hurt me so much and I am glad that I am finally walking away into a new year with new possibilities. To those who haven't and have remained by my side: Thank you. 2017 will be the best strolling in with you all by my side.

To Denver, Colorado:

You've changed my lie for the better. Who knew I would be the one as a full-time student? I am now on my way to accomplishing something so beyond anything I could have ever imagined. I will make an outstanding doctor one day and I have this state, school, and friends to thank as well. Coming back to Las Vegas is sad, to be honest. Moving to Denver was the best decision of my life.

In 2017 I will be a turning 21, will be a Junior at Colorado Sate (hopefully), and will be getting a house out in Fort Collins to further my education. This year was one wild freakin' ride, but I found myself and my happiness.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
