5 Childhood Dreams I Won't Give Up On
Prakriteswar Santikary

The only thing I've ever been sure of in terms of my future is that I want it to be full of adventure. I've never been passionate about a specific career or had a set plan on how I want my life to turn out, but I did have many goals that I hoped to accomplish and here are a few childhood dreams I won't give up on!

1. Write a book

When I was younger, I hoped to write the next Harry Potter series. Now that I understand how much of an author's life is dedicated to creating complex characters and drafting the perfect version of a novel, I don't think writing a series is for me. I'd love to publish a children's book someday, though!




2. Live in a castle

Sadly, I am not a princess. But who knows? Maybe I'll win the lottery.



3. Fall in love

...with a philanthropic cause, a hobby, another person, etc. I just want to appreciate the world around me.



4. Save the world

This is vague and seemingly impossible, but if I can make a positive difference in just one person's life, my younger self would be proud.



5. Be truly happy

I used to think that happiness came from money and other materialistic possessions. Growing up has taught me that the little things, like someone showing me a song they thought I'd like or even something as simple as petting a dog, are what makes me truly happy.

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?

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.
