Everybody is given a different life, but that's what is unique. We are all different humans. The reasons wanting to explain why I am who I am isn't to entertain you, but it's to embrace the person beneath us all.

1. Personalities

Everybody is defined in their own way. I am defined within my personality. I am wild, but exciting. I have an open mind, but a warm heart. I know how to love, but be serious too. I am okay with my traits because this is how I grew up becoming. I grew up with struggles and challenges; don’t we all? Overall, your personality is what makes you, you.


2. Having Energy

Without energy you can be sadder, than happy. I am full of energy. I am always making others so excited that they will want to get up off their feet all the time. I think of it this way, why be so down all the time when life is just too short? Living your life, full of happiness, and excitement will keep you moving forward.

3. Making Your Own Decisions

While being you, decisions come into your way. You make decisions on what next step in life you are going to take. Whether getting a new car, or move away from home is a good idea or not. Either way, without a support system, you will be sitting right where you started. That’s when the person you are comes in. You use your skills, talents, and personality to understand if that decision is going to be okay for you or not. I make decisions off my likes and dislikes, others may be different.

4. Your Body Is Beautiful

You were given this body to love, and to embrace. Just because social media tells you otherwise doesn't mean you can't show the true you. We all need to love our bodies, they are all sorts of different shapes, sizes, and colors to show our true beauty. Our bodies help us understand the person we are, and that's amazing.


5. This Life Is Yours For A Reason

Everybody is given a specific life but making it your own is going to shape who you are. You become the person you are by learning and understanding the life you were given. You make your own decisions, you make your own traits, and skills, you are the one who makes your life the way it is.


If you don't learn the life you were given, then how will you ever be okay with the life you are given?

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.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
