To The Woman Struggling To Get Through This Rough Patch

"You can't have a rainbow without a little rain."

You made a mistake, you fell off the wagon, you let someone down, you let yourself down — but it isn't the end of the world. You are still the same person you were before you let this fear of not being good enough wash over you.

You deserve so much more than you allow yourself to believe, just because you have hit a rough patch doesn't mean that you are unable to bounce back from that.

If you are currently fighting through something and are not sure how to come back from that, let me tell you that you are never alone. Someone, somewhere, is waiting for you to need them. Maybe it isn't your family, and maybe you don't want to "bother" your friends (which is crazy to think. That's why they are your friends!) but there are people waiting in chat rooms, facebook groups, and on the other end of your phone waiting for you if you need them. They want to be there for you, so let them be.

Never doubt that what you are feeling matters or that there are people out there just waiting for you.

Another thing that you need to remember is that you are only temporarily going through this. This pain you are feeling won't be around forever. You are going to grow from this, and this will be a meaningful lesson for you later on in life. You can't have a rainbow without a little rain.

Lastly, you are stronger than whatever is hurting you. Think of all of the things you have gone through up until now. You have lost family members, friends, maybe even a job, and you are still strong and handling everything that life throws at you.

Don't let this be the thing that breaks you — you may not be at your best right now, but that just means that your best is yet to come.

Make life yours, and you'll see that the pain you are going through now is nothing compared to the joy you are going to feel later. You deserve more than you are settling for, let yourself heal from this and you will be the best version of yourself in no time.

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.

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.
