I'm the Outsider moving forward
picture quotes


Outsider, I used to be that, wait I still am that, but I'm that outsider that is living life and moving forward with my life. I never saw my life moving forward. I couldn't see anything besides living at my moms and staying there forever, and yet I feel that way sometimes still, she won't let me do more things that would help me out in the long run. I know it's silly to say she will not let me do anything. But sadly it's true. I don't have a car and I only have a permit but no one will teach me how to drive. My friends and family are like you can just take the test and then be on your way, but honest I don't wanna be like every person out there that don't know how to drive on the main road. But even when I ask people don't wanna help me out when I have helped them out more times then they can count. The other thing is I have a learning disability but my mom treats it as I can't do anything.....I am a lot smarter than you think, I'm more independent more then most people that have it. So I try to do something to better my life but I get held back, Like always.....Then I get treated differently so much it's not even funny.

Now it's not bad living at my mom's I don't have to pay rent I just have to pay my cell phone and gas money to get places. But when I ask for a ride somewhere they get upset that I am asking this, well if they would teach me how to drive then I wouldn't be asking them I would be getting the car from them. So it's 2017 now, I'm sick of living here with my mom, and not having things how they should be since I don't get treated right here. I got a new job, that has more hours and it's more pay, it was time to change my life to get myself out of the place I am with, it's sad to leave my friends at my work now but I know it will be better for me no matter what. Even josh has told me it will be better for me and for us with us trying to move out and getting our lives together. I never was able to look forward in my life until I met him, he has changed me so much for the better and I am more ready to get my life started with him. we both have come along away with our lives and I am proud of him as much as he is with me. I know we will able to do this for ourselves.

Outsider, I am still that, I think I will always be that outsider that says around herself and stays away but I'm going to be that one outsider that makes it good in life.

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.
