Yes I'm Going Ghost, But This Is Something I Have To Do For Me

We all need distance sometimes.

There are days when people don't want to be bothered. The vibes that are surrounded by them not only trigger isolation but a breather that is vital to their sanity. Life can move faster than our minds sometimes and the only solution for that is separation. This may cause your loved ones and friends to question your loyalty because you've gone ghost, but that's fine. We all need to be selfish sometimes and put ourselves first.

Distance heals the mind, the body, and makes the direction more clear. It's more than beneficial.

1. You can finally relax

If you're like me, you're always on the run. That go-getter mentality is naturally within you but sometimes it's necessary to just have time to actually relax.

2. Focus on what's important

Our minds can easily get bombarded with any and everything. With distance from everyone, we're able to arrange those thoughts and/or ideas that we weren't clear about at first.

3. Learn more about yourself

We never really know ourselves, even if we think we do. We just need to take the time and know more about ourselves that we may not be aware of.

4. Find your purpose

The feeling of being lost has to be the worst feeling ever. Everything that seemed clear is now blurred and that only leads to frustration.

5. You have time now, use it wisely

That agenda that is full of to-do lists, create one distinctly for you.

6. Do something for yourself for once

There's nothing wrong with taking care of others but we need to take care of ourselves as well.

7. Don't feel sorry about it

No one should ever have to apologize for putting themselves first. Even if it means that you have to remove yourself from everything for awhile.

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.
