Authenticity Leads To Your Destiny

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss

I believe that the most important thing is to always believe in your authenticity; believing in your true self. If you do this you will end up where you are destined to be. You can’t get to where you are meant in life without staying true to who you are. I don’t think we can get anywhere in life without waking up every morning and doing what we love because it means something to us.

Not because it means doing something that the beautiful and famous people do. But, because being yourself feels so much better. If you want to look up to famous people then think about how they got there. We see so many successful people who are so unique and considered “one in a million.” But, that’s not because they wanted to be just like the person next to them. They knew who they were and pushed to be the best version of that person. They stayed true to their beliefs and their authenticity. If we live our lives based on the motives and styles based on someone else, we will be living for that person, not ourselves. We can so easily get wrapped up in this and start living a life that isn’t what we truly want or what we are supposed to have. Doing this ultimately comes in-between us and our destiny.

Most people find the concept of staying true to yourself difficult because of the fear of what people will think of you. That’s when you have to remember the good saying by Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” You must learn to only surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are and support what you do. Besides that, there will be some people who aren’t rooting for you, so along with the people who are rooting for you, you must root for yourself.

Some people may not have the same thoughts and actions as you but, that’s what makes you different from everyone else. That’s what makes you your most authentic self. Everyone has their own personality. Everyone has their own self. Everyone has their own destiny.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
