Change Is Always An Option

From the mundane to the extravagant, you are in control

We've all been there, stuck in the routine of life and just plain bored of what has been coming our way. Whether it be at work, school, or something in our personal lives, we could all use some spice and a nice shake up now and then.

The stage in your life that you make a change is important, regardless of what that may be: getting a new job, moving to a new house or even a new city, or something as simple as changing your shampoo in the morning and the sheets you're sleeping on.

If you change while you're a teenager, it's considered angsty rebellion against The Man, which let's be honest, who hasn't had their own little revolution against the system?

If you make a change when you're in your 20’s it's considered finding yourself and growing up a little, and doesn't that sound great! Who couldn't use to find themselves a little more?

If decide to change something any later than that, but before you retire, you'll be accused of having a midlife crisis and attempting to find your youth again. Which come on Dad, buying a house on the water and getting a boat seems a bit too cliché, doesn't it?

And if you've made it all the way to retirement and finally make some changes, however grandiose and out there as it may be, everyone seems to be okay with it. You've lived your life and if you want to retire and move to somewhere exotic, who's to blame you!!

However, you shouldn’t feel limited by your age, whatever it may be whether you’re young or old, you should always feel like you have the power to do something that you want to do.

Now obviously this isn’t an ultimate “do whatever rash thing you want” sort of thing, you shouldn’t be getting a tattoo of your celebrity crush when you turn 16 because by the time you turn 17 you probably won’t be feeling so strongly for them anymore.

But if there’s something in your life that you desperately want to change and you would be living life all the better for having done it, you should by no means feel limited by age, or any other factor for that matter.


It’s my firm belief that you should be the one in charge of your own life in every aspect, and that no matter who you are or where you are in life you should always feel like you are in control and capable of being the person you are supposed to be.

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.
