Yes, I Am A Loser

So have you seen my phone? Or my keys? Or my laptop?

Yes, you saw the title. And maybe you thought, "aw poor thing. I bet she wins at some things!" Well the truth is that I am a loser. But not in the sense of winning and losing.

I am a loser of things.

Ever since I was little, I would go into a room in the house looking for something, only to forget why I was in that room in the first place. I would leave toys around, and put things down, only to forget where I put them.

I have lost my keys so many times, without fail. Don't even get me started on locking myself out of the house or even locking my keys in my car. I can lose things even while they are in my hands.

As I write this now, my phone is currently lost in the business school. I've become so accustomed to losing my phone that "Find my iPhone" is one of the suggested websites I visit when I first open my browser.

I have lost diamond earrings, homework assignments that I worked tirelessly on, and even people. I am known by my friends as a "wanderer" because more often than not, I get myself lost places. It does not mean that I have no respect for my things, or that I do not care. It is quite the opposite in fact.

Luckily I have people who are always helping me find what I lost, and someone to always keep me on "Find my friends" and hold the spare key. And people who get frustrated with me or angry because I lost something... I don't mean to, so you getting angry will fluster me and it will take much longer for me to find things.

What is interesting is that I have a very keen memory. I can tell you exactly what I was wearing when I went to go get my license (A lime green Madrid jersey, black sweats, and orange shoes) 3 years ago, but if you ask me what I did with my new bracelet, I couldn't tell ya.

(This is a picture of my best friend saving me, per usual, because I locked myself out of my car in High School)

Some things will never be found, and some things are way more fun to find.

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.
