To The Quote That Hit My Soul

It was just one of those things.

To The Quote That Hit My Soul

As I was doing my daily routine of scrolling on social media while laying down at night, I came across something on my Pinterest board. I remember staring at the screen and feeling like a giant hole went through my entire heart as I read this one quote.

It read..."If you've ever laid in bed and cried so hard to the point where you had to cover your mouth so you didn't make any noise, I am so sorry."

Now, you may be confused about why I'm writing this. However, that's why I'm here.

When I read this quote, a whole bunch of memories from my past floated around my brain like a giant school of fish in the sea. I remember these nights.

I remember feeling lost. I remember feeling sad. I remember feeling weak. I remember feeling down. I remember feeling confused. I remember feeling frustrated. I remember it all.

Pain is something we can't control in life at times. Sometimes, we as human beings go through pain to make us come out even stronger. Our minds and bodies are changing every day of our lives, and it is our choice whether or not to take control of this pain.

I am writing this for those of you who have screamed and cried into your pillow despite whatever reasoning, I am sorry.

When you wake up each morning, go food shopping, stop to get a sandwich at a lunch place, or even just walk down the beach, you are facing people that you have no idea what they are going through on the inside. When you are out and about, you are focused on you, not those deep, internal feelings of others.

That is OK.

Many teens are so overwhelmed because they keep everything bottled up inside of them due to their parents being strict. Strict or not, rich or poor, nice or naughty, no one deserves this feeling.

Whether it's a significant other. Whether it's a bully, a family member, or best friend, do not allow this. You are better than this.

I am sorry.

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.
