Sometimes what scares you may be the best thing for you

Moving out of your comfort zone and into the unknown is probably one hundred percent scarier than halloween night. In fact, it might even be more horrifying than watching all three chapters of Insidious by yourself in the middle of a dark room.

It's hard to step out into the real world and try and find what you really want to do and stick with it. That's a big reason why I decided to transfer schools but I thank the heavens above everyday that I transferred. The school I was at was not a terrible school, but I knew it wasn't for me and I wouldn't have prospered the way that I have been at the school I'm at now. I have forced myself out of my comfort zone and by doing that I've made forever friends and found the career that I can't wait to start.

I used to be a little socially awkward and not as comfortable in my own skin but in the past two months of being at my new school I've had to really open myself up to new people and experiences that I never would've done in my old school.

Here I was able to join an acapella group that has shown me nothing but pure love and support and given me the opportunity to continue to do something that keeps me happy. Being here I've been able to join best buddies where I'm paired with a girl with down syndrome who is a pure ray of sunshine.

Being here I've found my home and found the person that I want to be and am working towards improving. I'm beyond blessed to be a bull and to be able to study my dream career.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
