Falling Into Place

Appreciate the moments

Falling Into Place
1966 Mag

When was the last time in your life everything almost seemed to good to be true? Was it when you passed the test you barely studied for? Or maybe it was when your crush texted you first and you could barely hide your rosy cheeks? No matter what the moment was, you felt like everything was right.

Savor these moments no matter how colossal or minuscule they may seem. Also remember to thank the people who made them happen. Take pictures to capture the beauty of those experiences and flaunt them. Why do all this? The answer is simple, when your life is the opposite of falling into place, what do you hold on to? What do you remember?

We are constantly blessed with amazing experiences and relationships but we forget so easily when the slightest bit of chaos hits our lives. What if instead, we stepped back from whatever situation we may be facing and we breathed. Are things as really bad as they seem? Probably not. Are you gonna live to binge watch another show on Netflix? The odds are probably in your favor. So relax, and surround yourself with the familiarity of all the things that make you happy.

For me, happiness consists of cookies, dancing and the people who make me...me. My family and friends bring me the most happiness and the greatest memories. They're the ones I choose to share my dance floor and cookies with. They are also the first ones I call when the pieces of my life seem to be falling out of place. Without them, I would feel lost. So, I tell them, "I love you," every chance I get.

The funny thing is when everything seems to be going right you can find yourself "too busy." Same with when everything is going wrong, but if you are honest with yourself, you're most definitely not! Clear up that schedule and make time for the people who matter, the people who make you...you. Cause if you don't, you will be a hot mess! I don't think we are meant to do life on our own. Matter of fact, I know we aren't. Have you tried to be self-sufficient for everything? (So tiring!)

Time is everything, so spend it wisely. None of us know when our time is up but we can choose how to spend that time every day. Why spend a majority of your time stressing and worrying about every little thing? Don't get me wrong a little stress is good to help motivate you to do amazing things. However, when the stress starts to overbear you and strip you of the time and memories that living life can give you, is it really worth it?

Once you come to a realization of how you want your life to be and who you are going to spend it with, things will always feel too good to be true because life is bigger than yourself when you choose to experience it with others.

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.
