¿Quien soy? ¿Tu lo dirás?

Niño, niña. ¿Que quiere decir? Si al final del día, solamente soy yo.

Se me hace cómico que dentro de nuestra sociedad existan limitaciones en las acciones que alguien puede tomar. Algunas cosas se entienden. Por ejemplo, no es bueno matar. Otras parecen hechas simplemente para limitar. Por ejemplo, a un niño se le enseña, desde muy temprana edad, que sus emociones no son algo que se deben enseñar. La sociedad les habla y dice que las deben esconder. Que esas cosas no son de machos, solamente de la mujer. Mujeres y emociones se pintan de mano en mano, pero sentir es natural y parte de ser humano.

Se miente a uno mismo si dice que nada siente. Siempre tenemos opiniones, ahorita mismo se están forjando, solo que no es evidente. No encaja en mi mente que la identidad se distribuía como prescripción. La gente escoge ser hombre o mujer tanto como a su nación. Cada minuto de cada día tenemos que escoger, si seremos como queremos o como el mundo nos jusga por ser.

La opción esta en nuestras manos, y aun así nos limitamos. Por ejemplo, yo por mucho tiempo no quiera decir “Te quiero.” Si me preguntaban porque, diría que yo no puedo. Mi madre me lo decía y se me hacia hasta raro. Tanto me enfoque en el sentirme raro, que al fin del día, aunque quisiera, no le hubiera contestado.

“Quiero hacer esto — pero es que,” es una frase familiar. Nosotros mismos nos paramos envés de buscar superar. Llego el día que finalmente lo pude entender. Decirlo seria raro, si eso fuera lo que escogiera creer. Otras maneras de pensar son posibles, si uno las adopta. ¿Si una idea nos limita, porque no buscar otra cosa? Una cosa si me queda clara, nuestra vida es nuestra y así debería ser expresada.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
