To The Girl That Always Says "It's Ok"

It's ok not to be ok.

To The Girl That Always Says "It's Ok"

To the girl that always say "It's ok,"

It's not, and it doesn't have to be, even when they say I'm sorry.

Forgiveness is crucial in life. None of us could make it a day without it. None of us would ever amount to anything without grace and mercy, and we know because we are given it daily, it's our job to share it with others. Never stop doing that- offering forgiveness we all need- but stop saying "it's ok" when it's not. It doesn't have to be.

The last time I checked, God's response to our sins has never been "It's ok." That's not to say he doesn't and won't forgive us every time. He does, and he will always, but he never tells us that what we did is okay, because then it'd be okay for us to keep doing it again and again.

God doesn't say "it's ok" because it's not. He wants us to know when we hurt Him and that we shouldn't do that again. He forgives us and lets us know it's going to be okay IF we live our lives differently and turn away from those things.

So it's more than okay to forgive them, you should. It's also okay to tell them you're hurting, you should. But it's okay not to say "it's okay" because as long as you continue to hurt and get hurt in the same way, it's not okay.

Forgiveness says it's going to be okay, but it's okay not to be okay.

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.
