Follow The Rules, Break The Mold

Obey the law, defy the idea of conventional.

Follow The Rules, Break The Mold
Preservation Of Moments

So, in between doing my mipoint project, I actually found some time to think about something other than work. Here's this week's ponderings.

This week, I've been thinking about rules. Now and then, we all want to break a rule, but despite this yearning, there can be repercussions.

There are always times when you'd love to break a rule, but you don't. This can lead to a sudden feeling of a denial about why you didn't or couldn't. Deep down, you didn't go through with because you know that it's the right thing not to. You know better than to fall into the trap.

There are certain times when it's worth taking the risk, and there that is isn't.

Freedom is an amazing thing, but it must be used wisely, because it is something that is abused all too often.

IF you want to break something, break the mold. Smash the idea of societal norms. Individuality is worth it, opposition to the rule isn't.

There's no better way to make a statement quite like just being yourself. Something that so many people look over for excuses to look cool, when they are afraid to be themselves. There's a truly fascinating aspect about being different, because it's one of a kind, and no two are alike.

There's a form of safety there, because you're breaking a figurative mold. When wrongful things are done, you are breaking a literal law.

We always try to find common ground, but all the little differences are what make us want to dig deeper.

So, if you really want something to do, you can go right ahead and follow the rules and break the mold. Be a true original.

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.
