Ever feel like you may want to try something different career-wise or you are stuck in a major that doesn't necessarily feel like you anymore? Although you may be hesitant to change your major, it is more than ok to do so. Actually, believe it or not, you may even feel like a whole new person in a positive way once you make that step to changing.

I was one of those people who was scared but in need of a change come sophomore year of college. Was I good at my first major? Hell yes. Was I feeling a little lost in seeing a future in the profession that I had worked towards for since high school? Yes. After a while, I noticed that I wanted more. I wanted more knowledge and information about other majors that I may have looked past before. With that thought in mind...

Is it worth changing your major? Will you experience regrets?

If you feel like there is more to you that your major may not be matching then make the change. You will always question whether or not you are making the right decision with ANYTHING! There are always the back and forth thoughts of contentment or a craving for something new.

I'm not saying that it is a simple yes or no question when answering "Should I change my major?", because it's not, but overall, the end game is greater. Feeling that you are challenged yet enjoying the 50-minute classes each day, you have succeeded in your decision. There should be no regrets because you are only adding more knowledge to your inner self and opening more possibilities to your potential career. If you really are not sure what to do, seek out a school counselor or career advisor; often, they are able to put your thoughts into perspective giving you a second view apart from your own.

Definitely, think through your decision before approaching your Dean. Gather all the information regarding requirements of courses, what may already cover requirements in previous coursework that you have done and make the decision for yourself not for anyone else. It is your life. Regardless of others support you or not in your decision, the only being that matters in appreciating your change, is you.

Go kill the school game my loves! Everything will fall into place, it is just about finding the right path and taking the needed detours that may follow.

Be safe. Party hard and kill it my loves.

Much love.

xoxo

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.
