Don't stress over the things you can't change.

A lot is on your mind. The pressure is too much to deal with. You can't even think straight. There is so much going on with your life that you can barely take a minute to breathe. But do you really have a lot to stress about?

Girl, I am just like you. I stress over every single detail about everything. The second I wake up, my brain starts flooding with countless thoughts, most of them negative. I don't know why this happens. I guess I'm just naturally a worrier. Sometimes you can't help that.

But guess what? It IS your mind. Your mind is playing dirty little tricks on you to throw you off your path. It happens to me daily. You're worrying way too much for no reason at all.

Why are you worried that it's busy at work and you're lagging behind? Only do what you can. Do your best, and follow at your own pace. This will pass by before you know it. Keep your head in the game with a smile on your face.

Why are you worried that you won't pass the class? This class does not define you anyway. Okay, so you overslept or you got a bad grade on that one tough exam. This too shall pass, and it goes by so quickly. Just keep a positive attitude and you'll be golden.

I know that money can be a big issue. Let me explain that I can get a little anxious when anything involving money is in the equation. I know there are car loans, student loans, credit card bills and more haunting you every single minute. And we both know it isn't going to pay itself. Money can be limited, but you will get through it. When I thought my world was literally burning down around me because the money was tight, I made it through the rest of the school year. I started working again for the summer, and I'm above the water again. Keep pushing through! You'll make it out alive.

Why are you stressing about your appearance? I'll give you some advice. You are perfect, no matter what anybody says! Don't worry about what you eat or what you look like. Do what you want. I realize that society can be really judgmental and brutal these days, but I have no doubt you can shake it off! Go get some ice cream, or go get a salad. Do what makes you happy!

Why are you worried about not getting a job after college? Everyone has a journey they take in life; but sometimes, things don't go as planned. And that's okay! Not everyone gets a jump start on their career immediately after receiving their diploma. But it will happen for you. It might take some time.

Why are you upset over being busy? Take a day off, because you deserve it. Working a lot can tire you out, so you need a day to sleep and catch up. It's perfectly alright to give your body a rest! Life is too short!

Why are you upset over not being busy? Find some activities that suit you. Make your summer, and the rest of the year, memorable. Again, life is too short!

Why are you worrying about worrying?

You get what I'm saying? There is nothing to worry about. I know it can be super difficult trying not to think of the "what ifs". What if you run out of money? What if you fail a class or two? What if no one likes you and accepts you? What if you don't find your way?

I think about this stuff all the time. That's my mind forcing me to think negatively. This is what you need to avoid. It's so much easier giving yourself some negative advice, but it's healthier to think positively. If you practice that, you'll generally feel a lot better. You'll be motivated, you'll be happier, and you'll be more confident! You can do it!

Yes, everyone worries. But some people worry a little too much. It is okay to worry, but don't stress excessively. Try not to, because it's unhealthy. Don't stress over the things you can't change.

You are doing just fine. You are great, you will succeed, and you will be alright!

No worries.

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.
