Endings and Beginnings.

It is always painful when something ends. Never easy and always hurts. It’s the end of a chapter in this story that we call life. It’s painful because we will never be able to go back to the way things were. The moments of pure happiness, the looks that you won’t be able to see again and all of the memories that are no longer being made but so many people think that once this happens you must write this person off. Say goodbye and withdrawal into themselves and not be a part of that person’s life anymore. That’s not the way it has to be at all. Ending a friendship or a relationship is painful enough with everything that has to change but when it’s a full 180 change it hurts even more. Remember that when things end that people are hurting. There is no need to pick sides, end friendships or cut ties. There is enough pain going around so remember to love on the people who are struggling while going through it and to remind them that they aren’t alone and that soon, they will have a new beginning.

The beginning of a chapter is scary in and of its own right. You don’t know what is going to happen and you hope and pray that it isn’t the same as every other time you let yourself feel or even hope. Three weeks ago, I took a leap of faith and decided to rush and actually pledge a social club here at OBU. I was incredibly scared and honestly didn’t know if I was going to fit in but I ended up finding some of the sweetest most caring girls id ever met. I feel at home already with my sisters of EEE. I cannot wait to make more memories and spend more time with these incredible ladies. Both ending things and beginnings things are difficult but one would never know what might happen if you don’t jump and try something new.

Start the new chapter

Read a new book

Try something new and fail

Never don’t do something based on fear

Trust in the lord and remember that all things are in his plan and in his hands.

God bless.

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.
