Attention To Detail Is So Important

From what people have said about who I am, most would describe me as a hard-working individual with a solid work ethic. Those same people would describe me as willing to help whenever I can, perhaps to a fault. Being the person that comes through whenever I am needed in big ways, the biggest downfall that comes of it is my lack of attention to detail in the shortest, simplest ways. I can do really well on some big essay or test, or save people whenever in they are in big trouble. However, the fatal flaw in my game is that I let a lot of little things slide that I shouldn’t, and it costs people their sanity when these little errors build and build to a point where they get driven insane.

Sometimes, the lack of attention to detail can be funny, but the truth is often said in jest. Recently, the Yahoo Finance Twitter account tweeted out: "Trump wants a much *igger navy: Here’s how much it’ll cost." From the reaction of “Black Twitter,” you can fill in the blanks of what that asterisked letter was. The letters ‘b’ and ‘n’ are close together on the keyboard, that’s a given. However, the social media director should double and triple check all Tweets sent out in this era of fake outrage, that goes double for ‘that word.’ Mistakes are made, but that, unfortunately, that is a big mistake.

As somebody that has made his share of mistakes, no matter how big or little, I hate to die on the “he/she/they/you/I should not” hill. I hope nobody interprets me as the guy who sits on a high horse/on a soapbox pointing people out for their mistakes. I’d like to say that I’m perfect; far from it. We are all a work in progress, just learn from your mistakes, and you’ll be okay.

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.

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.
