To Those Who Never Got Their Second Chance

There are just some people who deserve so much in life. While there are others that randomly get so much when they aren’t the greatest person on the face of the Earth. The rest of the world, they just don’t see anything good or bad about themselves. What I’m speaking of are those who never got any type of second chance.

For the good that got their second chance, I feel your pain in most cases. Sometimes we are too good and we don’t realize we made a mistake. We aren’t told right away, we have to figure out ourselves on where we went wrong with certain people. Begging for answers is all we can do just so we know where we went wrong. Apologizing some odd number of times is all we do until they decide to forgive us. However, they never do and get rid of us completely and we always wonder why.

Those who are not the kindest people in the world, why are you even trying? Do you not know how much damage you caused some people? Whether it was so bad you had to be punished in every way possible or it wasn’t bad to the degree you still did a terrible thing. You believe you’ve learned from your mistakes and you won’t do it again, but at this point you really shouldn’t expect anymore chances for yourself. People won’t ever get the bad in you out of their head, it’s all they will see out of you.

For the people that just find themselves average, it’s because we don’t know if you’re even trying. Sometimes we believe you are while other times you look like you don’t know what you’re doing. You have to know what you are doing and what you are capable of in order to get that chance. If you don’t, then bye bye second chance.

Second chances are very difficult to receive. You never know if you’re going to get one at any point in your life. If you do, then congratulations, you’re surviving life and just remember to hold on to that chance. If not, then you are probably shot out of luck and you will never get any type of chance again.

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.
