To The Funny Friend, Who Goes Home Empty

You pour everything out, only to feel like you have nothing left.

You're with your friends out at a nice dinner, or at their house spending time with them. Everyone's having a great time and so are you! Mainly because you're racking off the jokes quicker than they can pop in your head and everyone is loving it! They're laughing and you feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that there's something you're really good at. But when it's time to go, you're exhausted and just feel...empty. Why is that? Why are you the life of the party but you go home you just feel alone? It's probably because there's a little thing nagging inside you that all you are is the funny friend. You're not Rebekah or Noah to people...you're just funny and that's all they'll see.

Not true!

Think about it from your friends point of view for just a moment. You're going home just thinking how they were laughing at your witty jokes just having the time of their lives and you wish that they saw you as...more. Well, let it comfort you when I say, it's not always like that, assuming your friends are good people because if they aren't, then it's time to get away! But while you walk away feeling so alone and empty and helpless, they're walking away laughing and thinking about how much fun they had with you!

In my friend group, we're all the funny one. So we're always trying to one-up one another and just dig at each other with everything we have. Sometimes it leads to the funniest things ever. Like one of us is funny, but every so often, he spits out a nugget of gold and we all know there's no way we can top that. We even bring it back up regularly because it's just so memorable and funny.

You got this!

All of this to go and say, your friends do care about you. It's hard to believe sometimes because they aren't always there telling you that or trying to make you feel better, but sometimes you can actually help them for a moment. Some of them may also be having a hard time with a certain aspect in their lives and they feel refreshed listening to your jokes. They may wake up every day anxious or stressed, but you bring a sense of relief into their lives even if it's for just a moment. Keep it up! Keep your chin high! And keep that brain racing finding the funniest thing to say to your friends! Keep living life and keep laughing!

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.
