How to live an amazing life in just four steps

The Definition of Life

The definition of life is different to every single person on this planet. Some people believe the definition to life is to go to school, get a job, find a partner and live happily ever after in a white house with a picket fence. My definition of life is completely different; to be genuinely happy, to laugh endlessly, to truly love everything and to be at one with oneself. How in the world can we achieve these goals while being stuck in a cubicle, in a library or in the routine of the american dream. You can break free from the expectations of your life. Break free from the duties of everyday life. Break free from the grips of social media and just live. Life is about being genuinely happy, and i'm not talking about finding a toy in a cereal box happy. I am describing the happiness that consumes you from the inside out and makes you want to improve every aspect of your life. The happiness that makes you spontaneous, and a thrill seeker. The happiness that has to laughing at 3 in the morning with your best friend for no apparent reason. Happiness and laughter go hand in hand; to be genuinely happy is to have your stomach in knots from laughing uncontrollably. To laugh endlessly about a stale joke that wasn't funny but after hearing it you can't stop the laughter. To laugh at the worst of situations because you know deep down things could be worse. To laugh with the person you love on a daily basis. Love is incredibly pure and a crucial element of life. It can make certain unfortunate situations whole. Love can make new born babies stop crying. Love can make enemies friends. Most raw aspect of love is it can heal a broken heart. The most important component of the definition of life is to be at one with oneself. Many people have low self-esteem, and critic who they are every single day. These people critic what they look like on the outside and who they are on the inside as well. People with low self-esteem face demons through their entire lives. Whether those demons are anxiety, depression or any other mental illness. One of the things about life is that we need to stand up to these demons. We need to overcome adversity and stand strong. Once you have overcome the obstacles in your way, than I believe you will be at one with yourself. The reasoning behind my definition to life is simple. Life isn't easy all the time, but it is beautiful, and it is what you make it. If you are unhappy in life, than the solution simple. The solution is either to be genuinely happy, to laugh endlessly, to truly love everything, and to be one with oneself. I believe if you find just one of these elements your life will improve. You only have one life why wouldn't you want to make the best out of it?

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.
