As the stresses of life endlessly pile up, we often forget to remember what life is really about. We weren't created simply to exist, work and wither away. Rather, we were created out of love, as perfectly imperfect beings. We shouldn't then be striving to reach mere earthly goals. Because the truth of the matter is that for every goal we reach, there is another right around the corner. Instead, we should be reaching for a life that has meaning, to be the best version of ourselves, to be better friends, to be better disciples. A big part of this is remembering the innate qualities we were given by simply being human. We were crafted for some bigger purpose, and have been given the tools to do so.

So the next time you are struggling to keep perspective, stressed, or simply down on yourself, remember these 20 words that make you simply and beautifully human:

1. Worthy

2. Enough

3. Beautiful

4. Intelligent

5. Happy

6. Blessed

7. Fulfilled

8. Willing

9. Purposeful

10. Joyful

11. Holy

12.Good

13. Better

14. Possible

15. Pure

16. Unique

17. Creative

18. Soulful

19. Imagined

20. Loved

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.

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.
