When happens when you raise a strong-willed daughter?

She’ll argue and demand she gets her way as a little girl. Whether it be her getting a certain colored dance costume or how her toys should be put away, your little girl will make sure that things are done her way. You will wonder if she will grow up to be a business major and if one day she will be a Wall Street shark.

When she hits her teenage years, she will argue with you. She will insist that you see things from her point of view. She will tell you that you are not listening. She will try her best not to be disrespectful, but when she believes something isn’t right, she will stop at nothing to make it right.

You will love her for this. Yes, she does argue a lot. But you still managed to instill good morals inside of your little girl. She knows right from wrong and wants to make sure the rest of the world does, too. She will spend time talking to teachers, and even the principal, because they aren’t doing something right. They are letting too much slide. You will be proud of her when she yells at her friends for underage drinking and for getting recklessly drunk every weekend.

When someone wrongs her or one of her friends or family members, she will not back down from a fight. You told her to never raise her fists unless it’s absolutely necessary, but she will raise her voice when she feels someone is being attacked.

She will take a stand against bullying in all forms. She will tell someone they are being offensive. She will absolutely not allow any jokes about mental illness and suicide. She will not let someone tell her that her political or religious views are wrong, nor will she tell someone that their views are wrong.

She will not give in to peer pressure. When her classmates are drinking, she will not join in. She will not accept the party invitations her friends extend to her. She will not be one of the idiots drinking on her senior trip. Nor will she go with her friends to buy a vape kit on that same senior trip. She will not do anything she does not want to do.

She will be the one her friends turn to for advice. She will tell them not to go back to their cheating boyfriend. She will tell them they are never to start smoking and she will describe how painful it is to die of lung cancer because when she was 13 she watched someone die of lung cancer. She will tell them to work hard and achieve their dreams. For it is in her personality to stubbornly keep trying something until she achieves her desired results.

It’s hard raising a strong-willed daughter, but one day, you will look at her and thank her for always being herself. You will be so happy that she never changed herself to please somebody else. You will be proud that she will always take care of the ones she loves and that she fights for the causes she believes in. It takes strong people to successfully raise a strong-willed daughter, so know that she is proud of you, too.

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.
