When You Think You're The Only One

The Six Step Process

If you’re like me (or 95% of the population) then by this point in the semester, you know someone who everyone absolutely adores-that you cannot stand. There are multiple at every university or high school and perhaps only one girl popped into your head and that is fine, but the way everyone waits on her hand and foot for every move. The mere sight of her is enough to make your skin crawl. But fear not ladies and gents for this wolf in sheep’s clothing has shown her true colors to you and I promise you are not going crazy.

Step 1: Study Them

While the thought of spending any more time with them than absolutely necessary might repulse you, fear not, for the more information you know about them the better. You might not be able to save everyone from her siren-like abilities but you may be able to spare a few you actually care about if you come at them with cold hard facts. If she makes an unsavory comment or sends someone after you, you need to be able to show them.

Step 2: Accept You Can’t Save Everyone

You are going to have people in your circles who are so beyond in denial that will never see this individual as you see them. That never believe that the actions this person did to hurt you were done with malicious intent. You will lose some people to her siren-like persona but do not let this discourage you, you are not aloneStep 3: You are not alone

Step 3: You Are Not Alone

I am 99.999% certain that you are not the only person who she has shown her true wolf self to. All that you need to do is find others who also have an uneasy feeling about her and build on this common ground. There is no easier start to a friendship than a common enemy.

Step 4: Attempt to Distance Yourself

I would like to point out that this is one of the harder and less important steps to achieve. This can be difficult especially if you have classes together or a similar schedule, you are bound to run into each other, but passively create distance between the two of you. Do not immediately walk away if she sits near you, but refrain from making eye contact, sit with people in between you and don’t initiate conversation. This will get under her skin without making you look like the bad guy.

Step 5: Realize That She Doesn’t Control Your Life

Do not allow yourself to be consumed by her. Do not give her the reaction she so desperately desires. She does not control your life, the only one who does is you.

Step 6: Live Your Life

Take control of your life. Do what you want to do. Be friends with who YOU want to be friends with. Go exploring, be happy. She has no control of your life. You are important. No one can ever make you feel inferior without your consent. Go live your best life darling because you deserve it.

I know it can be hard to let go, but do not let anyone else control your life. There are too many other things to spend your time doing than freaking out of this non-significant entity in your life. Too many parties to attend, Netflix shows to binge, cute outfits to buy and charitable organizations to devote your time too. She is not worthy of a second of your time and don’t you forget it. You are beautiful no matter what she says or makes you feel like. You are the hero of your own story, make sure you don’t let her tear you down. There will be many dragons you must slay in your life and she is not worth giving up your fight.

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.
