To the friend that's struggling,

It's hard seeing you like this but I can promise you that whatever is bothering you will definitely pass with time. Patience is difficult as we envy the pain it creates which is temporary yet feels almost permanent. I know how hard it is to talk about how you feel because you don't want to express your emotions to people in fear of getting hurt. It's understandable and many people go through the same thing which is hard to even think about it.

Just try to remember that so many care about you and are ready to listen and help you with whatever you're struggling with. I understand that it feels like you're stuck but I promise that it's going to get better with time and your future is looking so bright. These moments are building you up into the strong person that we both know you are and you'll look back on this time and be so glad it happened.

Everyone goes through times like these that shape us into who we are in the present and who we will be in the future. Without the rainy days and the cloudy times, we don't grow and flourish into who we are which makes it difficult to progress in life. But, your rainy days will clear up and the sun will shine again just like I know you will. Be thankful that you're going through your rainy days because you're going to have so many happy days in the future that are going to make up for these not so great ones.

Always remember to remind yourself that so many people care about you and want you to be happy in general. These people are so important and it's so key that you are aware of them as you need to do your best to keep them by your side. Unlike this temporary feeling, your friends will be with you forever in some type of capacity. So, do your best to thank them for their presence and just listening to what you have to say in your darkest times. These friends are going to bring a little bit more light into your day which will make your transition into happiness a little less difficult.

Laugh a little bit more tomorrow, and smile all you can today because these moments that you're creating with the people around you can make such a difference. Your struggles will drive you to do your best work and create goals to accomplish in the future that you are more than capable of completing. Use this time as a positive pause in your life to figure out how you can make yourself happy as well as in the future, those around you. These struggles will introduce some of the best things in your life as you overcome the negatives just in time to see the positives coming your way.

"Some days are just bad days, that's all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that's just the way it is!"
-Dita Von Teese

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.

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.
