This Is Me And It's No Where Near Good Enough

What to know the real me? Here it is

Who Am I? Well, you are about to find out.

I used to like sunsets but I am obsessed with surprising now. The sun just rising up with the orange and yellow horizon. The bluebirds singing with the rising sun.

I am obsessed with tea now, I used to be obsessed with coffee. It used to my drug. I would not be able to walk out of the apartment without a cup, I would drink one at night. I would not go a day with at least two cups of coffee. But suddenly I can't even drink one cup of coffee. I drink at least three cups of tea every day now.

I used to know like bright colors like pink blue, mint green, yellow, etc. I used to not like spring or summer. But now every time I go shopping I can't leave a mall without a bright colored item!

I can not stay up past 10:00 anymore, I am in my PJs by 9:00 and cuddling with my sheets watching Netflix. I wake up 6:00 every morning no matter what I have going on that day.

I am so much confidence and I love showing my curves, I know that I am beautiful and smart and I am made for something big.

I am a survivor of anorexia. I am now confident that I am fearfully and wonderfully made because I am a child of the one true king. I can call the Lord of Lords and King of Kings my father.

My family is not perfect but I know my mother and father will do anything to protect me and no matter what they are always looking out for the good of their daughter. I love them and would not ask for any other parents to raise me.

No one is perfect, I am not perfect.

I have let God down.

I have done sins behind my parents back. I have disobeyed my parents.

I have gossiped about my friends. I have lied, cheated, stole. I have said one thing and did another.

All have fallen short of the glory of God.

What counts and what God looks at is if we are completely transparent with him and we are honest and confess that we are sinners. It counts if we get back up or not. It counts if we are truly repetitive and turns from our wicked ways and change from the precious blood of Jesus Christ that he sent to die on a cross for us. It counts if we turn our hearts back to God.

God loves us but just hates the sin that inches its way into our heart that is designed to love him and only him.

I completely depend on God's strength. Time and time again God has shown me that without him I am nothing. Without him, I have no strength, hope, vision, purpose. God is my everything. No matter what he is always there with open arms.

I am a child of God.

I am an overcomer.

I am not perfect.

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.
