20s

"It is in the twenties that the actual momentum of life begins to slacken, and it is a simple soul indeed to whom as many things are significant and meaningful at thirty as at ten years before." ― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Beautiful and Damned

20s

Being in your mid 20s are much complicated than experiencing adolescent stage.

Why? Because you're not that old yet you should act like one.

You're still young yet you already have responsibilities of an adult piling up to you.

It's quite pressuring isn't it?

It feels like a battlefield – more likely an assessment.

In that era you can tell if you could survive the future, or not.

It's like an investment, so that you can be more prepared for tomorrow's sake.

You can be responsible and irresponsible, at the same time.

It's like a trial and error stage.

You could make wrong decisions and make it right after.

You may lose something – it could be old friends from your teenage years or things you've treasured the most, or maybe someone that is special in your heart.

You'll cry a lot until you'll cry often.

You'll suddenly change and then became distant to everyone.

You'll realize that time has to be managed wisely.

You barely have time for everything you wanted to do,

You barely have time for your friends or family –

Even barely have time for yourself.

In this age, things could be more tiring.

You'll feel more intoxicated each day.

You'll be wiser and have your own words of wisdom too.

You'll barely have fun because you're busy focusing in other things that are more important than that.

Whatever it is – 20 should be limitless.

You can still be spontaneous just like when you're still a teenager.

As long as you're responsible in whatever consequences after – you can still do the things you wanted to do in life.

And most important, don't stop dreaming even if you're done being in twenties.

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.
