7 Tips To Become The Best Version Of Yourself
Wall Devil

There are many versions of yourself that you will find throughout your life. However, there is only one best version of yourself -- only one version where you reach the highest point you can be at. Here are a few tips to help you be that version:

1. Love hard.

I know this sounds cliche but try it. Love others even when you don't get the same amount of love back. It is going to hurt sometimes -- nobody promised it wouldn't -- but when you love others first, you will find a sense of peace in it. Pain may be the price of love, and that's what makes it beautiful and totally worth it.

2. Push your limits.

Push yourself to your maximum -- not to the point where you're filled with anxiety, but where you are doing all you can. There are boundaries that I feel we hold onto because we fear what the other side has to offer. However, we can never fulfill all we want to while staying within our comfort zone. So, as you push your way through the boundaries you've put up, remember the ending will be worth it. Keep pushing.

3. Dream big dreams.

Dream [dreams] bigger than others can see happening. Sometimes, you will be dreaming a dream nobody can see but you. Things won't go your way all the time, but they will go the way they're suppose to. You will have setbacks and hard times, but with those come new adventures. You get to experience the beautiful things that come with your dream.

4. Be yourself.

Don't walk around trying to be someone your not. Be you. Be exactly who you were created to be -- not a fake. Be extraordinary and be unique. There is only one person like you, so shine bright. Shine so that others see the beautiful person you are.

5. Live with purpose.

Your purpose was born the second you were. The reason you are on this earth is to fulfill that given purpose. How do you find it? Find your focus. Do what you love the most and fall in love with it more. Reach people with the passion you have for that one thing.

6. Seize the moment.

Every moment you have been given is a gift. Absorb every moment you have in your day and make the most of them. When there are times that you are surrounded by people and family, put your phone down and just be there. Be present. Make what you want your priority, but in my opinion, people should be one.

7. Be bold.

In all that you do, be bold. I know that sometimes the thought of that is nerve-racking but there is freedom that comes from being bold, because boldness produces determination.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
