Why Being Your Own Best Friend Isn't A Bad Thing
Facebook

In life, we come across many people and we have a multitude of friendships and relationships, but the most important relationship of all, is the one you have with yourself.

You can't truly find yourself until you really know who you are. If you take some time to find yourself, it will allow you to start to really understand how your mind works and what you really want in life.

As we all know, only we know what we want, and once we really know ourselves, we can finally figure out who we are and what we want out of life. It seems that this theory actually goes hand in hand with loving yourself before you can love others.

If we don't take the time to discover who we really are, we can never find those people who are truly kindred to us, because we aren't allowing ourselves to reveal who we truly are.

From personal experience, more people will accept you when you're yourself, because it shows them that you're not afraid of being who you are, quirks and all. It's rare enough to find people who are who they say they are.

As soon as you start to really know yourself, and embrace who you are, those who are kindred spirits will come to you, as if the stars are aligning.

It's fascinating how life can come together, and with this simple idea, we can work towards being more confident in who we are and what we are doing with our lives.

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.
