Laughing Through The Mistakes

Sometimes we all just need a healthy outlet

Laughing Through The Mistakes
John Grieve Photography

So I have discovered one thing about my future and let me tell you, it is difficult. It teaches more than I would've ever expected to know from studying a language. It teaches me that I am making a huge impact on the world and that I am an intelligent individual. However, I have one fatal flaw in me as a person.

I am constantly judging myself because of my mistakes. I see those errors as not being good enough at what I do or even being able to achieve my goals for the future. This, however, is not the case.

I am enough.

I am intelligent.

I am going to graduate.

One error does not make or break the rest of my future. One error does not determine what my future employer is going to think about me. All of us understand that we are human and mistakes can occur on a day to day basis.

I am however extremely thankful for the support system I have in my future endeavors. It allows me to openly express my issues, allows me to work through my errors, and allows for continual growth and improvement in my field. I seem to have this one fatal flaw that I continue to fall back on. I continue to think that I am not good enough for my future, I think that I am not intelligent enough for my job, however, this is NOT the case.

I have proven my knowledge and worth time and time again. The one goal I have for myself for this last semester is to smile and laugh through my errors. To laugh knowing that I will be that much better in the end. To laugh knowing that these errors are the smallest of things. To laugh and know that my worth is not determined by one bad day. My worth is far beyond one error. My strength is beyond one fight and that I am above a bad day.

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.
