What The men In My Life Have Taught Me

The men in my family play an imporant key role in my life. Their advice is always helps to get through any situation I am going through. Today, I will be talking about some tips and advice, that they gave to me that has helped me the most, to hopefully help someone who is going through a hard time.

1. Don't let loneliness control you

One thing my brother told me before I went to college is to not let loneliness get to you. In high school, I remember a girl who ever knew, who everyone notice. Then I came to college all that stopped and loneliness settled in. I had to get used to being by myself and not to seek attention from certain people. I had to notice that not all attention is good attention.

2. You have the power

In the dating world, knowing your worth is important asset. Having self love is the first important key to have whether you are single or in a relationship. Knowing that you have the power of self-love and self-worth is a game charger. Because this asset lets the person you are interested with or in a relationship know that you will not tolerate disrespect or mistreated; because you owe yourself more than that.

3. On to the next

My father would tell me this, when I would face rejection. Just continue to move on and something else or someone else will come. Just because something did not work out, it is not the end of the world. Something else will come your way, something better.

4. Don't tell all your business to people

Telling everyone your business is a no go. Letting everyone know your ambitions, money amount, relationship problems, or just about your life in general is not good. There are some people in this world that just talks to you just to get information about your life just to gossip and add their two cents; which is unnecessary. Letting people know a little bit about yourself is fine, but not your whole life. Because people will go and run wit you. You will even face some people who will want to be in your shoes, so telling them your next steps, about your relationship or job will only help them try to out do you.

5. Watch People Actions

Have you ever dated someone who promise they will change but their actins do not match? I have. I noticed the words are nothing compared to a person actions. The way a person treats you is how they really feel towards you. Don't fall for words because that can lead to disappointed when not followed through. Try this. Examine a friend or a significant other. Examine how they treat you. You will quickly find out how they actually fel about you. People actins say everything. If a person treats you with disrespect, they have no respect for you. Also, examine yourself why you are letting this person fill up with broken promises. Its 2018, we have not time for broken promises anymore.

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.

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.
