To My People In Life

These are my people, they make me whole.

To My People In Life
Stocksnap.io

I never was the girl with the "tribe." Don't get me wrong, I had friends, but looking back they were more like friends of convenience than friends of substance. They were more like writing in the sand and when college came, like a wave they washed away. I'm thankful for them, but I'm even more thankful that their exit brought me to my true blue, good vibe tribe.

My life is full of the kind of people that will go above and beyond to cheer me up when I've had the day from hell. They know based on a single text what kind of mood I'm in and what kind of cheering up I need. They push me to continue pursuing my dream because they know better than to let me quit. I can talk to them about all the messed up, complicated, dark parts of my life without fear of being judged. They know how much I hate crying and being touched, but know that sometimes I need to be held when I feel like my whole world is falling apart. They're the kind of people that will take me on a late night drive in hopes that it'll clear my mind.

They're the kind of people I can rely on, no matter how many hours away they are from me. They're the kind of people that push me to go to the gym, but understand that sometimes a girl just needs some ice cream. They're the people that drive me to be the best person that I can be. They're the people that are always there for me, because I'm always there for them. They're the kind of people that can talk me off the cliff because they believe in me when I can't believe in myself. They're the kind of people that may not understand what I'm going through but try their best to put themselves in my shoes.

They always have my best interest in mind, even if I don't realize it. They're right there when I hit rock bottom, when my heart breaks and it feels like I've hit rock bottom. These are my people, my good vibe tribe, but beyond that, they're the people that get me through life and I will be forever thankful.

"Be around the light bringers, the magic makers, the world shifter, the game shakers,
They challenge you, break you open, uplift and expand you. They don't let you play small with your life. These heartbeats are your people. These people are your tribe."

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.
