Always Remember Your Happiness Is Most Important
Start writing a post

It's so easy to forget why you do certain things and why you plug along each day in this thing called life. You can get so caught up in getting to the next level at work, or in getting a project done, or in trying to get a raise that you forget why you're doing the thing you're doing. At the stem of everything, you need to make sure that you're making yourself happy and you're doing whatever it is you're doing because you're happy and not because it's a job or a school that you feel like you need to exceed at.

When you bust your butt to get to that next goal in your life, you need to remember that you had this dream or wanted to reach this goal for a reason. You need to recognize that it's a great thing that you worked so hard and stressed over whatever happened so that you can reach this goal, but you need to remember to take that moment in and be happy that you've made it there. Take a step back and look at yourself and all that you accomplished and be genuinely proud and happy. It's easy to get caught up and want to move on to the next things but always make sure to remember all that you did to get to this moment and make sure to be proud of yourself in that moment before moving on to the next goal or dream.

If you find that you're working or going to school day to day and don't remember why you're there or how you got into this mess, you need to remember that you can change it. Find the thing that inspired you down this path in the first place. Make sure to remind yourself what gave you that spark to enjoy the thing that you're pursuing. You fell into this for a reason and there was something that made you passionate about your schooling or your work in the first place. Take a step back to remind yourself of that everyone once in a while. It'll make you happier when you remember why you set out to do whatever incredible thing you want to do because it'll keep that passion and spark alive.

First and foremost, always remember to make yourself happy. Don't forget why you set out to do certain things and don't forget why you're on whatever journey you're on. Make sure you love it, every crazy step of the way. It's so easy to stress, move on to the next goal or item, and forget why you're doing everything you're doing. Don't do it for anyone else but yourself. It's going to be a long, weird and crazy journey that you're on, but I promise it's worth it and I promise that your happiness makes it so much better.

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.
