Why I Can Be Anything

It may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

Why I Can Be Anything
Empowermint Blog

Remember when you were a little kid, and everyday you would imagine yourself to be something different from the last? I remember that one day I would imagine myself as a doctor, then the next as a rock star. I had even tried to be a chef one day. My family encouraged me to play pretend because they knew that one day it would not be pretend anymore. However, now that I am a young adult, deciding on what I want to be has become difficult. I thought I wanted to be a writer. I still do, but I do not want it to stop there.

Out of nowhere I have come to the realization that I have a passion for cooking. It was always a hobby of mine. You could find me sitting on my phone for hours looking at Tastemade videos on Facebook. I did not know that I could actually become a chef, let alone go to school and study the art of food. This confused me. My entire life I have been set on becoming a writer, and once I announced that I want to go into culinary school the first thing people ask is: "How are you going to write?," "You won't have time to write books." I asked them, "Why can't I do both?"

There is this misconception that once you pick a career, you can only do that one career because it is impossible to do more than one. It may be difficult, but it is not impossible.

I love food and I love writing. So, with long consideration and research, I have come to the decision of me becoming a food blogger/journalist.

People should not be limited to just one career. If you are passionate about something, go out and experience it and achieve it. Do not let people stop you from doing what you want to do just because it is not normal.

You can be anything you want because you can achieve anything.

I do not want to be in my fifties regretting that I did not open up that restaurant I always dreamed about and you should not either.

I'm going to become a food blogger and I'm going to be the best food blogger that this world has ever seen. Why? Because I can, and I will.

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.
