From the girl who's always wanted it all

STOP Waiting And GO After What You Want

Why wait on Friday when you dread Monday's? Why wait on something when you can just have it whenever you want! This is an important lesson that I believe we should all note. Instead of waiting on something to come to you, just go out there and get it NOW! Why settle for less on something when you know you can do something about it. My parents would constantly tell me over and over, if you do not like how things are going right now, go do something about it NOW! I know that sounds like such a parental thing to say, but they never lied.

If you truly do want to go after something, you shouldn't just wait for an opportunity to do something about it. If you're unhappy with the current situation that you're in, why are you waiting for that ONE thing to do something? You should be taking in what you have control over instead of focusing on what you WANT control over. This is also important to note. I think by taking each day step by step, you will get exactly where you want to be. I know little words may not be a lot, but at least it's the truth. Just because you see someone else achieving at something does not mean that there is something wrong with you.

I believe that everyone has their timing on everything, just because your timing for certain things is not here yet does not mean that there is always something wrong with you. STOP IT! It just means that you're not set out to do everything that you want at the moment. With everything that happened last year, I realized that by having everything you want at the same time, it won't always bring you happiness. It will actually overwhelm you with unnecessary stress that you don't need.

Never make regrets, anything that you want because, in the end, you will certainly thank yourself in the long run. As I'm still going through that process on a regular basis, I know that I will certainly be satisfied in the end.

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.

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.
