It is not just a word.

To Me, This Is What Love Is:

Everyone in the world hears about this word. However, there are so many meanings behind it. It can be difficult to describe, and it can be filled with mixed emotions. I want to be able to describe in my own words, thoughts and feelings about what this word means to me. And that special word, is called love.

Love is not just a word, it is an action. People to this day throw the word "love" around like it's a baseball. Someone can say that they love you, but will treat you like a punching bag in the next second. You can't just say it and show poor choices of action. That's how people get confused with love. It's easy to say words, but it's very important to treat that person right. Do you care for that person? Do you show affection? Do you try your best to put a smile on their face? If it's none of these, then this isn't love.

Love doesn't hurt. It shouldn't be filled with constant sadness. Love is suppose to be a powerful/magical feeling you get whenever you see someone. It should make you feel like you're on top of the world and that you're appreciated. There are also people who are just not worth your tears. However, love doesn't involve pain, it involves happiness.

Love takes patience. There are many people who are in love with the idea of love. People will try to force it to happen and in my opinion, it shouldn't work that way. I believe that God has a plan for everyone and He is busy writing everybody's love story. When it comes to relationships, it will happen when the time is right.

Love isn't just about relationships, but with family members and friendships too. Love develops in many shapes or forms. Love should involve with family and friends that you love being around with. Love makes the world a better place and it conquers all evil.

It's important to talk about the word "love" because it needs to be cherished more. It is the opposite of hate and no one should learn to hate. Love should be the most beautiful thing there is to offer in life. Yes, it is defined in many different ways but no matter how someone defines it, it should take your breath away.

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.
