Feeling Unsettled: My Thoughts On Interpreting Dreams
Viral Novelty

Some nights, I sleep soundly through the night and there's nothing to say about it. Other nights, the dreams I have feel so real I can't even process them right away, and as the day goes on I slowly remember them more and more.

Some people say there's always meaning behind your dreams; some I believe, some I don't. For example, they say that if you're dreaming of being chased or followed, it means you're not fulfilling some kind of responsibility you have. If there is some type of getaway car, are you the one driving it? Or is someone else? If you're driving the car it means you're in control of the situation at hand. On the other hand, if someone else is driving it means they have control over you in some way, or you're letting them control your decisions. Now in some cases, I'm sure that can be true, but it's also quite a stretch for most people.

I've had so many dreams where I wake up in the middle of the night, heart still pounding or tears running down my face, but still left with no explanation that seems to make sense. I just want a valid reasoning for the things I seem to imagine while I'm sleeping. Sometimes, these dreams are so real that I can't go on during the day without being mad at the person in my dream. I can go a whole day feeling on edge after seeing a gray BMW three times that looks just like one in my dream. If I dream of an accident, it makes me feel afraid to drive -- especially if I have to drive by the area where the accident took place.

I believe people dream things for a reason, but within my research, I have found nothing that seems to make logical sense.

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.

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.
