I'm ready to shock it back to life!

I’ve reached a point in my life where I feel like I’m flatlining.

From day to day, I’m happy. I wake up, go to work, come home, eat dinner, cuddle my dog, and do it all over again. It’s my routine. I’m used to it.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my routine. I look forward to going home and cuddling up in bed with my dog to watch the newest episode of my favorite shows.

When I do go out, I miss my routine.

I have to force myself to go out half the time.

I’m passed the point of wanting to go out just to get drunk every night.

I’m passed the point of going out to meet a new guy.

I’m content with the people in my life, and the way things are going for me.

But that’s the problem… I’m content.

That’s my biggest mistake.

I go to church every week and feel like I leave all of my faith there.

I’m content with where I’m at in my faith.

Even though I know that I need to grow.

I know that I have so much more to learn.

I hang out with friends and feel constantly on guard.

There is so much that I know I could be so much better if I would just take the time to grow.

I need to make the time.

Not only for myself but for the people around me.

I’m content and I feel like I’m flatlining.

There’s not much sense of adventure.

I’m stuck in this rut that I don’t know how to get out of.

I want to be the best version of myself that I can be.

My life has flatlined and I want to shock it back to life.

I want to pursue my passions, get out of my comfort zone, and just live my life.

Life is too short to not enjoy it to its fullest potenital!

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
