Why These Are The Best Days of My Life
huffingtonpost.com

Being a college student, quickly entering my twenties, you would think I'd have a lot to complain about. Maybe how I have no money, or how I have too many responsibilities to handle- but I find it is quite the opposite. When I think about where I am in my life, I feel completely and utterly at ease, because it is quite simple to see all the things I am blessed with.

In this walk of life, I am overcome with the realization that I have the freedom to go where I want. There's nothing like going on a mini adventure around the city, whether you're with friends or just alone. I have an adventurous spirit and two working legs. To discover the ability and the desire to roam is one of the things which makes this time in life so exciting.

Another thing, is I have friends everywhere, who love and support me. It is so easy to find yourself surrounded by people who relate to you in college. They care about your story, and they want the best for you. What's not to love about that? The pictures I have will depict times spent with my friends and remind me later of how supportive and fun they were.

As a young adult, there is so much potential for a great future. I could wind up doing just about anything. The suspense is wonderful, because your future is not set in stone. You realize just how capable you might be, and your future could never look brighter.

I also don't have to worry about my life, because God is with me. It would be a pain to go through life alone- but that isn't necessary. Because I have decided to invest time into God, I have been able to understand what He desires from me and how I can honor Him. There is no better feeling than to know you have a Father that will never let you go, no matter how tough life gets.

I'm a confident, young individual. One thing I love about being a young adult is learning to take control of your insecurity and take risks. Although society tends to look down upon our over- confidence, I could never feel more free from doubt or anxiety.

The final thing I love about this time of my life is my family. Even though I moved out of my house to pursue a college education of my choosing, my family still loves and supports me. They constantly ask about me, wondering if I'm going to stop by soon. Just knowing that I have a house nearby with people who know me and care about me is a wonderful gift.

I hope I remember this feeling. When I have a real job, a real house, and real responsibilities, I hope I look back and remember that I had four amazing years I cherished. I hope I remember just how happy I was, and how good it felt to be alive.

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.

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.
