Did You Write New Year Resolutions?

They get harder to write as you get older.

When I was growing up New Year Resolutions were easy. My family and I would each get a sticky note that we'd right them down on.

They usually consisted of helping more with the chores around the house, being nicer to siblings, do well in school, and save money. Those were my resolutions for probably a good six or seven years. Then for a few years I didn't make any and just let what happened, happen.

Now that I'm older, I realize how hard New Year Resolutions can be to make. Of course, you probably have things that you want to accomplish throughout the year, but you want to write down the ones that you know are within reach.

This year I had a lot of things that I knew I wanted to try to accomplish, but I knew many of them may not be that easy to do this year. After many long hours and days of thinking about what my resolutions should be for this year, I was able to come up with a short list that I knew were obtainable.

Most of them obtained to myself, my future career, my relationship, and new things that I wanted to do this year.

This year was actually the hardest time I ever had coming up with New Year Resolutions. I didn't think fully what I wanted to accomplish this year, since most of the time I just went with the flow, but after a few days of thinking about it, I finally came up with a good list that I think is obtainable, and that I hope to accomplish this new year.

I figured that this should be my year to do all the things I have been waiting to, and I hope these New Year Resolutions help me stick to my new goals.

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.

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.
