To The Heart That Is Not Ready To Settle

"Go explore, travel, find yourself. Please your soul and fulfill its needs."

The thing about life is that everything is supposed to fall into a certain order. Society has a particular idea of normal or expectations you are assumed to meet. You are presumed to graduate high school, go to college, settle down and get married, have children, and live happily ever after. If your soul speaks differently of this stereotype you may be considered peculiar or weird. After all, humanity has too many expectations.

Why must everything be planned or rushed? Life is too short, why not live it adventurously? There is nothing wrong with not wanting to get married or having children. Don't get me wrong- anything can change. You may not want a baby today but you may want one next week. That is one of the curses of life (baby fever).

Who made the standard for life anyways? Be free. If your soul belongs on the road, in the air, or at sea, follow that urge and never let it subside. We only have this one life to live. Live it courageously. All we have is time, we must spend it wisely doing as our heart desires. Do not listen to society's expectations, they are nonsense. If you want to ride solo, then do it! If you are unsure about wanting children, then by all means, wait until you are positive you are ready.

Go explore, travel, find yourself. Please your soul and fulfill its needs. Do not rush life, let it play out. It is okay to want to be alone, regardless of what everyone else believes. This is your life - live it to please yourself, not others.

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.
