Just like every other college student out there, I seem to say this a lot...I am so busy. You can find me hourly writing new lists I need to accomplish and trying to figure out how to balance a crazy workload.

Recently, when I should be studying, writing, or sleeping, I have been thinking a lot about my life and the people/things that make it great.

I have come to the conclusion after lots of thought, that I am a person who needs an abundance of love to survive each and every day. But how is that happening?

I have openly admitted that love and happiness make me feel whole, but where am I getting it from and why am I not constantly saying thank you to the people and things that get me through my day?

What love is forever?

Jesus's Love

I have found my biggest love is something I cannot touch or see. Finding/working on my personal relationship with God has created a faith and happiness didn't know I would ever have or feel. Especially in this busy time of need, I know that I can find a daily ounce of love through prayer, thought and talking to Him. Knowing I have someone to hear my true voice each day is a breath of fresh air.

Our Family's Love

Yes, we are away from our family during our time away at college, but that is something that can bring us closer to our families. Having an outside perspective, a familiar voice, and someone to always lean back on is not only comforting but an amazing love that we should never let go of.

The love we find in friendships

As we continue to keep adulting, people are coming in and out of our lives for a reason. People you have met in college or elsewhere, hold on to the relationships that challenge you to be a better person, make you feel radiant, and continue to love you as you grow individually.

Our passions hold our greatest love

If you have found a passion, hold on to it, that is your small niche in this large world. Having something that gives you love and you give love to it, is irreplaceable. We were put on this earth to be different, creative and have unique traits, it is time to embrace them and showcase your love to the world.

Coffee is love we should never stop feeding ourselves

Why would we ever say, "goodbye" to our bodies biggest love? Coffee...yes sounds silly, but true. Coffee feeds our body which makes us as sometimes grumpy and exhausted humans happy. Nurturing our bodies with caffeine is filling our hearts and souls with an unconditional need and love.

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.
