To The Girl Who Helped Me Find Christ

You were there for me from the beginning, and you helped me jump the gap to take him into my life.

Even though it has been less than a year since I took Christ into my life, I feel like I am years ahead of the person I once was. I never knew that God could make such a positive impact on my life, but he did. He did this because of you. You showed me the way into the light by guiding me step by step.

All my life, religion had been on the back burner. Not prevalent in my life at all. I had zero interest in it and honestly didn’t want anything to do with it. It wasn’t because I didn’t believe in God, it was just that I didn’t understand. For 19 years it had been that way. Then, one day, you asked me to attend a campus ministry with you. At first, I was apprehensive, but I did end up going. I more thankful for that night then you will ever know because it started me on the journey with Christ.

I didn’t know what I was doing in the beginning. I didn’t even own a Bible or know what a prayer journal was. I got what I needed, and got started. From there, you gave me a reading plan and showed me how to pray and from that point on, everything blossomed. I was finally seeing why so many people had so much faith in God. He is always there for you, no matter what. He really can be your rock, when everything else seems to be going wrong. You gave me someone to lean on when I needed it the most.

You were also there when I took the jump and fully accepted him into my life. That has been one of the most prominent days of my life thus far. I can honestly remember everything about it. From the weather to where we sat at in the coffee shop to even what we talked about. That day was big, and I would never have reached it without you.

You showed me everything about Christ, and you believed in me on my journey. Never doubting my commitment or love for him. From small group to church, you gave me everything I could ever ask for to follow him devotedly. I prioritize God and make time for him daily. Everything I do falls back on him and his path for me. I don’t know how I went so long without following him. As much as I love God, I love you just as much. I'm thankful our friendship grew out of Christ. You made a big impact in my life, and I can’t wait to follow him again with you in the fall.

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.
