To the Person Who Wants To Be Independent But Is Too Scared To
Ten Thousand Places

Leaving the comfort of your parent’s home is one of the scariest things that any person can do. It forces you to grow up. For some people, that could mean going to college, near or far. That could mean getting their own apartment. Whatever being independent means for you, you should try your best to make it happen. Will you get scared? Sure, of course you will. But in order for you to be successful in life, you have to do what is necessary for you. Try, and if at first you don't succeed, try again.

Never allow your fears to prohibit you from doing something. If you don't try, you will always be filled with regret. If you want to become independent, you will do whatever it takes to make it happen.

I get that not everyone has the strength to do this, though. You may want to always be with your parents, but that is not realistic or practical. You need to learn to be on your own so that you can grow into the amazing, confident, strong, independent person you can be. Sitting around and complaining will get you nowhere in life. You have to get out there.

Don’t throw away good opportunities just because you’re scared, or because you don't want to leave your parents, or whatever else might be preventing you from doing something that could potentially help you in the long run.

At the end of the day, you have to do what is best for you. Really take all of this into consideration. Don’t be like those other people who just sit around and complain and don't make changes. Get out there and be the best, most independent person possible.

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.
