How to stay happy evening when everything around tries to make you do the opposite.

It took me forever to understand why people called me "Sparkle". But once I realized it was because I like to spread good vibes at work it made things a bit more clear. I start to focus on actually doing this on purpose and it made my job even better.When people would begin to complain about how bad the work was or how much they hated being there I found myself walking away. And when some start speaking how bad the night is going to be I would speak out that it was going to be good. This really did annoy some folks. Sorry not Sorry guys.

Now while all that sounds good, everybody has their bad days. I have really bad days like everyone else but when I am I actually tell myself, "you're not feeling well today but it will be better soon." At some point in the course of the shift I still find a reason to smile because bad days don't last forever. Everyone gets tired, everyone works like a dog sometimes, everyone want to scream at some point. If you don't then I think there might be something wrong with you. Robot much? The really i\mportant part is how you handle it.

I can't stand drama. While that has been said by me in my own words, my life is full to the rim of drama. It really can become overwhelming. What do I do about it? I force myself out and around people. Not always 'with people' but just around people Somewhere public where I am most likely to see some smiles and maybe have a conversation. Somewhere like a coffee shop. How could anyone be depressed with coffee?

I take my day off and fill it with things to do but sometimes I start it by going to a coffee shop and I bring a notebook or even a new novel and I have me time. It may seem silly but really time to just do nothing and relax is important. Sometimes you need to just do nothing. Reading and writing are probably the two most favorite things I can do alone. It always gives my brain a little bit of a vacation from the stress of life.

The next day when I go back to work. I try and see it not just as a job but as an opportunity to be that smiling face that I was looking for the day before. People can say energy is not a big thing all day until they are blue in the face but I will still tell you it is the biggest part of everyday. If you purposely put yourself in good energy you express that same energy and vice versa.

Now, I get working with the same people everyday you get to see the bad and the good days. Even good energy expressed in the wrong way can turn bad. So what do I do when Everything is not going well at work around me? I tend to go into a bubble and just try and focus on the costumers. Thats why you're there after all.

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.
