Don't Let Anyone Dull Your Sparkle

Shine bright like a diamond.

There will be someone out there that will see your smiling face and want to tear you down. They are going to see the positivity radiating off of you and call you fake. They'll see your happiness and be threatened by it and do whatever they can to knock you down to their level.

Don't let them.

Life is too short to not smile and laugh and have fun.

Life is also too short to let others negativity get to you. There are just too many amazing people on this Earth to pay any attention to people that are trying to bring you down.

Be passionate about the things you love and go for every brilliant opportunity that presents itself.

Let your passions fill you and propel you to where you're meant to be.

Don't let your dream, or drive ever fade away because those are the things that really matter.

Chasing a dream or accomplishing your goal is what makes life worth living.

The joy you get from doing what you love will make all the failures and hardships you've met along the way worth it.

Go through life with joy in your heart and inspire others to live the same.

Don't let the world determine who you will become, because that choice is only yours to make.

Stop questing yourself and your abilities and relying on others for reassurance. Often times when people see you doing well they do what they can to even the playing field. Don't give them that opportunity.

Believe in yourself and there is nothing you can't do.

Open your eyes to the endless possibilities in front of you and go for them.

Have trust in the known and the unknown, meet them both with a smile.

Shine bright, and don't let anyone dull your sparkle.

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.
