To The Person Needing a Push

You may feel trapped, but you can continue to strive in great ways.

To The Person Needing a Push
Justin Gammill

I'm going to keep this short and sweet...

Have you ever felt as if you are always alone? Never good enough? Like nobody on earth gave a damn about you? Yeah... I have too. It sucks, but you wanna know what. It's all gonna be worth it, and I'll tell you know.

I may only be 19 years old, but I have been through quite a bit. No.... I am not saying I have had the worst life, because I know I haven't, but I've gone through a great deal of trauma.

You may feel as if you are doing terrible right now, and you're never going to get anywhere, and things aren't going the way you want them too..... and that's okay! We have all been there and we all are set-back from time to time, but you have to push through those negative thoughts and remember the positives ARE there.

Failure after failure is true success if you continue to try and get better and not give up. You are succeeding without even knowing it. You are doing great things and again without even realizing it. So, take a step back and think about all you have accomplished.

Never forget about your friends, they are there. Its not about quantity, its all about quality. Never forget your family, because trust me, they are there, and last but not least, don't ever forget about yourself. Stay strong, stay happy, and be confident.

Never forget who you are, and never forget where you came from, because you wil always grow from it.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
