The following eleven women I have written about have personally inspired me over the past few months to share my passion and to follow my dreams.

1. Elle Luna

Artist

She is an artist, designer and author with the most beautiful soul. Her book, The Crossroads Of Should And Must is something I highly recommend reading.

Check her out on Tumblr http://elleluna.com

Or listen to her Do Lecture called The Importance Of Doing What You Love. It made me cry!

2. Rupi Kaur

Spoken Word Artist

Her spoken word is everything. Her strength and passion is clear to see in her work.

3. Elizabeth Gilbert

Author

Writer of Eat Pray Love and her latest book Big Magic- another must read. She actively pursues her dreams and is 1000% living in her truth. Her work is empowering.

4. Jolene Hart

Nutritionist

Author of Eat Pretty. This book is life changing. It helped me change the way I eat.

One of my favorite jazz artists of all time. Her latest work Emily's D+ Evolution is riveting. She is a goddess!

6. Sara Barellies

She has always been one of my favorite singer songwriters but her work for Waitress The Musical is out of this world. I can't stop listening!

She is the founder of Strala Yoga, a revolutionary approach to healing movement and is the author of Make Your Own Rules Diet and Cookbook!

She is "the face of natural medicine of the 21st century". I have been fascinated with herbal medicine and ways to heal one's body and mind naturally. I found her work and was inspired.

11. Emma Watson

Actress/Activist

She is such an inspiration. Most recently she went to the Met Gala with a dress that was made of sustainable materials. Emma's work for HeforShe on gender equality is beautiful.

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.

Knowing any swimsuit that you own with white in it is best left for the pool or the ocean.

The momentary fear for your life as you get launched from the tube.

You're able to go to the restaurants by the water wearing minimal clothing.

Having unexpected problems with your boat.

Having a name for your boat unique to you and your life.

There's no better place you'd rather be in the summer.
