It's more than just a choice.

Choices can be tough, but being indecisive doesn't necessarily mean one doesn't make choices. Sometimes it can take longer to make a decision. Even if it's a decision as simple as choosing a movie to see or what kind of soda pop one desires. Here is a guide to thoughts that often cross the mind of an indecisive person.

1. It's more than a choice.

It's a life changing decision.

2. People might judge you.

What if you pick the wrong answer?

3. Some decisions are easy.

Deciding your future is simple. But, when it comes to picking between chocolate ice cream or vanilla problems arise.

4. Other times you can't choose.

Sometimes there are just too many choices, they end up passing you by.

5. Yet, many choices could change your life.

With decisions come pressure and it can just be way to much. So, it's time to take a step back.

6. Which choice is the right choice?

Often it feels like there has to be a right and wrong choice, however, neither the right, nor the wrong choice is apparent.

7. Then, there are those rare occasions you don't care or don't know.

What do you want to do, they ask. In this case it really doesn't make a difference to you.

8. Sometimes you want to choose both, but you can't.

Can I pick two, does it have to be only one? Or why not just choose all of the above?

9. Why can't someone else make the decision for you?

Wouldn't it just be easier to have another person choose for you. But, then again it may not be a decision that you like.

10. Decisions can be so frustrating.

If only it could be so automatic to make a decision.

11. Being indecisive isn't necessarily bad.

While it can be hard to be indecisive, it can often lead to better decisions in the end. Thinking through decisions can make the best decisions for you.

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:

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.
