To The People Who Have Ever Doubted Me Or Put Me Down

There are always two kinds of people in your life: the ones that support you and the ones that doubt you. To the people that have ever doubted me, put me down, or didn't believe in me, enjoy, because this article is for you. But this article isn't to put you down. Instead, I want to thank you.

All in all, thank you for letting me prove you wrong.

Thank you to the people that know so little about my life, but still find it their place to tell me how bad of a person I am and how I deserve everything bad that comes my way.

Thank you to the ex-friends that constantly saw it as a competition, doing everything in your power to make sure I wasn't successful.

Thank you to the ex-boyfriends that didn't find it necessary to encourage me, but instead, belittled me because you didn't think I could do it.

Thank you for telling me I wouldn't make it through college, but here I am with a decent GPA that has suffered from more major set backs than you can count on two hands. Look at where I'm at now though: I've been working hard to do good and graduate on time with a degree that I have been dreaming about since I was a little.

Thank you for making it your favorite hobby to bring me down. Maybe you were too jealous of what all I was capable of accomplishing, and I am sorry. I'm sure you had people to doubt you too, but instead of using all of the negative comments to do good, you took their input in all the wrong ways. Because of this, you ended up doubting yourself and this behavior has made yourself a doubter.

Do you know what your doubts and put downs caused? Pain at first, yes. But you gave me the motivation to be a better person, to be a successful person. Without all of the people that didn't believe in me, I definitely wouldn't be where I am now. If it wasn't for you, I probably wouldn't have pushed myself nearly as hard to be as successful as I can.

Whether you doubted my friend choice, college choice, or career choice, or just doubted me in general, thank you.

Everything turned out to be okay because through all of your doubts, my God believes in me 24/7.

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.
