The 'It's Going To Be Ok' You Always Needed To Hear, For Every Stage Of Your Life

When you're 4 and you're scared to be on a softball team for the first time, it's going to be OK. You'll end up crushing it and being one of the best players you know by the time you stop playing 14 years later.

When you're 5 and your grandma forces you to stay inside and study all day, it's going. to be OK. You're so far ahead of everyone else in your age group and that set you up to stay ahead for the rest of your life.

When you're 10 and you start at the new scary Catholic school, it turns out OK! They bully you for a while and no one listens for what feels like forever, but you end up getting the help you need and finally get to go to school with your friends!

When you're 12 and you finally get your first boyfriend ever and starts pressuring you, it's going to be OK. You stand up for yourself and it's empowering.

When you're 13 and your depression and anxiety get really bad, it'll be OK. It takes a long time but a doctor will finally listen to you and that helps a lot.

When you're 14 and softball begins to make a rift between you and your dad, it's OK. You guys bond over other things later in life, and you find out that he's great with advice.

When you're 15 and get your second real boyfriend only to find out he doesn't love you and was cheating on you during the two-year relationship, you'll be OK! Trust me, you do so much better, with people that actually care about you.

When you're 16 and no one believes that your injured, you'll be OK! It takes a year or two but finally, someone will tell you it's your MCL

When you're 17 and he ruins your life, you're eventually OK. Right now, we're waiting for the nightmares and fear to stop but I know one day we'll be OK.

When you're 18 and you and the boy you thought you loved break up, you're totally OK. You realize you didn't need to be dating someone and that you're OK alone.

When you're 20 and the guy you do love leaves you, well you're still OK. It hurts right now, A LOT, but we're going to figure it out.

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.

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.
