You will be genuinely happy... I promise.

You are probably reading this because you are discouraged, confused, hurt, along with many other feelings. And that is okay, we have all been there. But I just want to take a moment and encourage you to keep your head up. Sometimes in life we have speed bumps that may seem as big as boulders. We sit and wonder will this ever pass? Will I ever smile again without hurting on the inside? For many years up until this point I was broken, completely shattered on the inside. I always found myself trying to help others when I needed help myself. I would always try to make others feel better when I was at my breaking point. Nothing seemed to turn around for me until I realized how important self care is. I removed myself from toxic relationships and environments. I took a step back to see what it was in my life that was making me feel less than. When you do this it really will open your eyes to see what is causing you so much pain. Once you see where your pain originates from. Change your path. Whether that's ending a toxic relationship with a significant other or distancing yourself from toxic family members. Do it, just simply do it. From personal experience I distanced my self from the source of my pain, and now my life is flourishing. I have rekindled relationships with family members and friends. I am working a job that I enjoy. I am also so in love with my best friend and we are about to get our own home together. So when you feel stuck just know it won't last forever. You will be genuinely happy. And this quote is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. "There comes a day when you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world - because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on." Therefore, it is important to do what is best for you whether people approve of it or not. This is your life. You know what is best for you and remember self love takes strength.

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.
