What Is A ​Secret?​

Se·cret

adjective

not known or seen or not meant to be known or seen by others.


When considering something to be a secret, think what the statement holds. Is it personal to you or to someone you love? Is it dangerous? Are you willing to accept the consequences of telling that said secret?


Whether you choose to tell this secret to get ahead or because you think it will help someone. You need to realize that it's not yours to tell. No matter how big or small, a secret is a secret for a reason.


When someone tells you a secret they only do this because they have an unlimited amount of trust in you. By telling their secret you've lost something you will never have again in the same way.


The person may choose to forgive you. If they choose to do that, you will never know them as deeply as they were hoping to let you in. You've lost a friend.


If the secret is yours, be careful who you tell. You never know who is actually on your side or who is trying to get ahead of you.
Before telling someone something deep and personal about yourself think about how the person will react. Will they treat you differently? Will they tell everyone? Will they use it against you? Depending on how you answer these questions should tell you if that is the right person to tell your beloved secret to.


Secrets are meant to be kept. They allow you to have a connection with another person. Something that only you and that person know. It makes the bond tighter. It makes you feel as if you have someone to rely on.


A secret is an inside look to who you are, what you like, and what shaped you to be you. With that being said, who will you tell your secret to?

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.
