I Realized That Life Is Empty Without Love And That Taught Me To Love Even Better

The language of love is very simple: love others, and you will get love back.

Sometimes we don’t recognize the love that exists in our lives, mostly we are conditioned to link love with significant others. From what I have seen, the language of love flows even when strangers talk in a polite manner. Love can be found in those who adopt a good manner. Whereas people who talk more and show less often fail to express love and gratitude. Good manners enable a person to automatically deliver the love a person should receive.

Not only do good manners express love, but polite tones of speech do as well. One of Newton’s laws is, “with every action, there is an equal reaction.” Although this is an important theory in physics, it can be applied to all situations in life. Reciprocation is key in expressing love. If we talk politely to people, they will talk politely to us. If we are honest with each other in a relationship, it gives us the strength to feel confident, great, and it makes us feel wanted.

According to psychology, any form of love, from passionate to compassionate, is a necessity for one’s mental health. It is necessary for one to feel a sense of belonging to someone. We are all social animals that crave attention from others. The attention we get makes us feel wanted or connected to each other. However, love cannot be replaced by any materialistic things. Only love can bring happiness and satisfaction in life. There is no value in diamonds with the absence of love. The language of love is very simple: love others, and you will get love back.

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.
