You Are Special, Stop The Bullying

I still get bullied. But I'm getting better at letting it roll off my back. It's a battle everyday.

You Are Special, Stop The Bullying
TUHS Digital Arts Blog

I have said this in the past in many articles. I cannot, I repeat, CANNOT stand bullying. I have been bullied most of my life. It has only been in the last few years that I have tried to stop myself from caring about what others thought about me. But it is still hard for me even to this day.

I won't go into much detail about what has been going on, but I have been getting bullied at work by someone above me. She has insulted me and made me cry quite a few times. And for a person of management, that is wrong. I have done nothing for her to behave this way towards me. She just continued to pick until I had enough and had to report her.

I am writing this to let you, my readers, know that it is okay to stand up to your bullies no matter who they are. They may be an older classmate or student in another grade higher than you, a family member (because sometimes it happens), or it could be your boss or someone like your boss. They have no right to bully you. You are a person. You don't deserve to go to work or go to school and feel miserable.

I have felt miserable for a few weeks now because I kept my mouth shut. I don't like conflict. But my bully kept picking until I could no longer handle being silent. Silence isn't always the best way to go. Like my situation, she kept doing it. She didn't stop. And she won't until I say something or her own boss says something.

Bullying has become more deadly. Kids and even adults have become meaner, doing everything they can to make everyone else feel smaller and unimportant. The truth is if they are bullying you, they are just trying to make themselves feel better. They are no better than you. You are important. Everyone is special in their own way. And it took me years to learn that.

We need to stop bullying. If you or someone you know is getting bullied, don't be afraid to tell someone or stand up for yourself. It just takes one time for you to show them that you are no longer their victim and they should leave you alone. (I hope, if not well keep pushing it on them.)

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
