To The One Being Bullied

Dear Bully Victim,

You may have asked yourself what you you did to deserve this. What did you do to generate so much hatred? What's wrong with you that someone does not like you so much that they goes out of their way to harm you? Nothing.

As difficult as it is to ignore a bully, it is the best option. As much as you want to combat their nasty comment about your outfit, bite your tongue. It will only take the situation to the next level. I know you don't want to be a tattle tale, or a rat, and you just want all of the issues and this person to go away and leave you alone, but they won't until you seek help. You're strong, but you can only take so much. Everyone can only take so much abuse. This is why it's important not to retaliate. The moment you do, you're guilty too and karma will come right back at you.

You know you're a better person than this bully. You know that they bring out the worst in you. My best advice is to block them on all social media. Virtually remove them from your life. You will no longer have to see the passive aggressive Instagram captions, the subtweets claiming how annoying you are, the malicious text messages. You know it's all stupid, but you know it gets to you. It would get to anyone.

Never forget that this bully has chosen you because you threaten them. A bully shows their insecurities, and they are most likely the very same things they pick on you for. They know you're the better person. You probably didn't worship them like they wanted you to. You didn't give them the attention they craved. And that's what did you in. But this is not something you should regret.

You should never fight to be friends with someone. It should come naturally. You shouldn't feel forced to be friends with someone who makes you second guess yourself; who makes you doubt the things you love; who makes you feel silly or inferior for being who you are; who puts you down to build herself or himself up. You are better than this.

It's hard to understand a bully. So, don't waste your time trying to. Shut them down. Shut them out of your life. Never let on that they bother you. Once you do, they have won and gotten exactly what they wanted. You have your own life to live. Don't let someone pathetic enough to be cruel ruin yours.

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.
