The Way Love Applies To Our Lives

The purest of all.

While growing older and going through life, I realized that love keeps the world spinning. Times get tough, but love keeps the difficult times bearable. Love does not just include romantic relationships. Truly, we show each other love every day of our lives. Mothers, fathers, siblings, friends, coworkers, teachers, pets, and strangers care and love so many people, but sometimes we do not notice the hidden love.

Love to me is when someone creates a spark or passion in another person. They give them a desire and will to live their life to the fullest, rather than mere exist. They pass on their love which motivates them to give their best efforts to the world. The lover cultivates the beloved’s mind with new thoughts, books, music, and feelings. Sometimes we measure love in the amount of attention, gifts, or dates that occur during the relationship. But I think that is a terrible measure of love because love cannot be measured. The heart and soul feel love and then display these pure feelings to the world. How the beloved treats others and the world is a great measure of the lover because love should create a kind heart and soul in the beloved.

Love is the care that one gives another during a tough time. Love is the feeling of pure joy by just being in the presence of the person you care for. Love is the “Did you get home safe?” text and the “Good luck on your exam” text. Love is the small compliment you give your classmate when they look pretty/handsome or say something intelligent in class. Love is the smile you give a stranger when walking past them. And finally, love is the solitude we all experience because the love we give ourselves motivates us to give the same love (or greater) to others.

If anyone feels lonely or not loved, just know that you can find love anywhere. Love is within us and once you find it, go and spread it to everyone you meet. If you think you are not loved, love the world even harder. What you give will eventually find its way back to you, so why not give the best and most pure love you can give?

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.
