2019 Mood

This will be my year.

2019 Mood

Don't get me wrong, 2018 was a fabulous year with so much that happened but this year will be even better if it's up to me. Last year involved a lot of changes and growing and along with that was a few growing pains.

This year I plan to eliminate some of these growing pains that I've experienced. And while some will naturally cease, some others need to be ended.

I have often struggled with my body image and my ideas on what I can achieve. Last year as I began my first year of college, I proved to myself that there's no room for doubt when I was able to get the GPA that I achieved. I have very low expectations of myself for the first year and surpassed them.

To get into the master's program I intend to complete, a competitive GPA. This is a must so this mindset of being able to achieve above and beyond needs to be my mindset to keep powering through my classes.

My struggles with my body image are nothing new to me. Since my freshman year in high school, I have never thought my body was good enough. I played a lot of mental games with myself which led me down some dark paths but eventually I made it out, for the most part.

This year I want to be able to exercise and not obsess about the calories I'm burning but the muscle I'm gaining. I want to strengthen my mind and my body and these goals can not be achieved with the mindset of “I'm not good enough"

I plan to make all these changes and not just for a month or even a year but for a lifetime. This will be my marathon to a healthier mind, body, and soul.

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.

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.
