I'm So Blessed To Be Living The Life That I Am

I never thought I'd make it this far.

I'm So Blessed To Be Living The Life That I Am
Rachel Neal

If you told me years ago where I'd be right now, I'd think you were insane.

I always used to have such a pessimistic outlook on life. I believed that nothing good ever happened to me, I would never have amazing life experiences, I would never sustain good relationships with people, and I would never be happy.

It sounds completely dramatic now that I'm thinking about it, but it's true. That's what I thought, and nothing and no one could've made me think otherwise.

But right now, at this point in time, all of that turned out to be untrue. I can't exactly pinpoint the time in which this change in my life happened, but I'm so thankful it did.

I'm the happiest I've ever been at this exact moment.

I've made the most amazing friendships, and I have so many people that I can go to for anything.

I have had incredible opportunities, whether it be getting on executive boards for clubs I'm in, joining a sorority that's changing Greek Life around my college, attending endless concerts and music festivals, going on trips to the Poconos, Ireland, the shore, etc... it really feels like I'm living my dream life.

I do something new almost every single day.

Sometimes I can't even sleep at night because I'm excited to get up and start a whole new day with endless possibilities.

This all might seem cliche to say, but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. Things are only just getting started, and I still have the rest of my life to do more. To be more, to create more, and to simply live more.

I'm so blessed to be living the life that I am, and I hope you feel the same way too.

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.
