Do you hear these all the time "Can you stay late and do this?" "Oh you know what you're doing" "You're a natural born leader"? Are you used to taking on resposibility without asking for it? Do random people look up to you even when you're trying to blend in? Well you might just be a natural born leader if this sounds familiar.

1. You find yourself accidentally leading the group

"Umm sure I guess you can do that part of the project? Why are you asking me again?"

2. You've become the go to gal in situations you're not prepared for

You've become really good on the fly...

3. People you don't know are asking you for advice

"No, you should probably break up with him if it's the eighth time he's cheated on you...You will find someone better I'm sure!"

4. People are surprised when you don't have the answer

"Bread might be in aisle 3 maybe? Ma'am are you aware I don't work here?"

5. Being volunteered and "volun-told" by others is normal

I mean we would have probably volunteered anyway...

6. You are always elected to deliver bad news

You're always losing at "Nose Goes"...

7. Free time is rare and precious

"Can you help me with--" "Sorry can't got a meeting!" *Goes home to watch Netflix*

8. You're known to be "a little intimidating"

But underneath your terrifying exterior your just a ball of fluff.

9. You have been dubbed as the mom of your group

You're the one teaching them to make soup and reminding them to drink water!

10. Jealousy is super awkward

It's not like you trying to make them jealous! You're just doing what your told!

11. Strangers compliment you on having your life together

You're really good at keeping it together in public! But in reality, making your bed is still a daily struggle...

If you know these struggles then you might just be a natural-born leader. Don't worry most of the time it works out in your favor! And well when it doesn't? We do what we normally do, and fake it till we make it!

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.

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.
