College Can Be Hard

But it is okay.

College Can Be Hard

College is hard. The movies hype it up to be partying, fun, and shenanigans always. I personally have always been excited to go to college and have the ultimate college experience. I love Villanova and I love college. But I struggle to do well and stay on top of my work often. My friends are all very smart. I somehow ended up in the honors dorm by chance even though I myself am not in honors. They are all so intelligent and I envy it. I wish I could do as well as they do on my exams.

I study and I go to tutoring. I'm open about it because I think using your resources is smart. Some people find tutoring is embarrassing but I think it's helpful in furthering yourself when you need help. I definitely try my best and strive to do well. A lot of people who know me think I just fool around but I do care.

College is hard. You want to spend time with your friends when they do fun things. You want to slack off and nap. It is important to learn that at a point, you are becoming an adult. School is helping you reach your job aspirations or graduate school. Your parents are not around anymore to nag you. You need to learn to be trying your best for yourself.

People joke that being a business major is easy. I know it is supposed to be but I still struggle with it. I think every major should be treated with respect despite their presumed level of difficulty. Classes can be a struggle. Homework can be hard. Exams can be mind-boggling.

College is hard and I think that admitting that is okay. It is hard to stay focused. It is hard not to slack off. It is hard not to only want fun. College is a learning curve that we all can get past.

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.

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.
