An open letter to those who thought they couldn't make it.

Dear you,

I want you to know that you can do it. You can do anything you set your mind to. Life is yours for the taking, now go out and dominate it. God gave you life for a reason and it wasn't to just eat, sleep and die.

I know it can be scary but it can also be exciting! An adventure is always waiting for those who are willing to go out and chase it. You just have to be open to change. You also have to be able to fight for what you want. Not everything is easy and sometimes you have to get up and work for it.

Trust me, I know. I didn't want to go to college and didn't even think I could make it but here I am, a semester and a half away from graduating. I am proud of myself for getting up and doing it. I did have help but that is not always bad, sometimes you need a little push and some support.

Need help? Ask for it. There are always resources to be used and found. SO USE THEM. Branch out, ask questions. There are no stupid questions, never feel shy or stupid because if you do you wont go anywhere. You cannot let those things stop you. Do whatever it takes to feel confident and comfortable. Even if that means blaring music that makes you feel good, then do it. Find what makes you shine.

Most of all have faith in yourself. If you can't believe and trust in yourself how do you expect others to?

No matter what stage of life you are in everyone needs to be reminded that they can do whatever they set their minds to. Hard work does pay off. Just think about that next time you feel like quitting.

Now go out and get what you want and don't be afraid of rejection, it's a part of life. Just keep going and don't let anything or anyone stop you.

Good luck and go get it!

Sincerely,

Motivation

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.

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.
