New Year, New Me?

No. New Year, Better Me.

New Year, New Me?

New Year, new me? Nope. New year, better me. It’s interesting how we wait until the New Year to set resolutions for ourselves. To better our health, wellbeing, or self-worth, we set these goals for the New Year.

Interestingly enough, we wait to start changing for the better. We wait until it’s socially acceptable to start over. When the rest of the world is working on a better them, then it’s expected for you to do the same.

Here is the thing, I do set new years resolutions, but this is to challenge myself. To better me, not change me. Although, I do set a New Year's resolution for the start of the year, I also set resolutions for myself everyday. Some days are larger than others, but that’s not the point. The point is that I challenge myself to be a better version of myself everyday, and you should too.

Use this New Year to start a new journey for yourself, and stop thinking that resolutions can only be set at the New Year. That just isn’t true. You can set a resolution for yourself that is specific to your wants and needs, and no one else’s. That’s why it’s YOUR resolution. We can all use some improving, but that’s what makes these resolutions so important. They give you a chance to create a personalized goal for yourself.

It is common for society to view these resolutions as temporary, or has a low success rate. But these statistics shouldn’t keep you from going after your dreams.

So, set those resolutions, whether it is for New Years, or not. It is worth starting today.

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.
