11 Things That Are Easier Said Than Done
Marilyn Palmer

We all have something that we wish we could do or say in the snap of a finger. But often times, they’re much easier said than done. Whether it's something that you don't have the confidence for or something that you’ve tried before and just can't seem to stick with. Believe it or not, a lot of us are in the same boat. So in hopes of one day having the confidence, courage or whatever it may be to take action, rather than keeping quiet, here's 11 things that are easier said than done.

1. "I’m going to worry about myself and my own decisions instead of focussing on what everyone else would think.”

2. “I won’t hold any grudges.”

3. "I won’t care what others think of me.”

4. "I’m totally going to stick with the gym...for real this time.”

5. "I’m over him/her I won’t be sad anymore.”

6. "I am DONE with the junk food.”

Okay, maybe one more donut wouldn’t hurt.

7. "I’m done overthinking everything, I’m just going to let life take its course.”

8. "I'm going to walk right up to him/her and tell them exactly how I feel.”

That is, after a couple of drinks first.

9. "I won’t get emotionally attached to fictional characters in my shows that I watch on Netflix.”

Try watching Grey’s Anatomy and then tell me how you feel.

10. "I’m not going to sleep away my life.”

Ugh but sometimes it's just so hard to get up after a long week of school/work or a late night out with the girls.

11. "I won’t stress out.

Ha ha, right. Wouldn't that be nice?

But as some of my favorite girls from school would say, “It’s fine. I’m fine. I’m going to be okay. I’m not worried.” We all run into things like this at one point or another, it just comes down to being able to take action instead of keeping quiet or staying frozen in our bubble of safety. Trust me, all of these things up here are things that I do/have struggled with, I guess it’s just nice to know that I’m not alone.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
