Having Vivid Dreams Can Really Suck

Having Vivid Dreams Can Really Suck

When you wake up from sleep, you either think "what a weird dream I had" or you don't remember your dream and you start to plan for your nap in a few hours. But once thing not everyone experiences is vivid dreaming. Vivid dreaming is this weird state where you can remember your dreams, you feel as if it was real life and sometimes you wake up and you're not sure if the dream was real life or not.

Vivid dreaming can come from a variety of things such as a side effect from medication. While it sounds like in a way it might be cool, it can actually really stink. Sometimes you wake up confused as to if something really happened or not. Which depending on your dream, can really throw you off. You could dream of eating something and feel as if you actually did eat it. Or you could dream that you finished all of that homework you had but unfortunately, you didn't.

In a way, it might be cool because you can actually remember what you dreamt of. But for someone who experiences these types of dreams once in a while, boy can it throw you off. I woke up this morning for example and was convinced that whatever meal I had seen in my dreams, I actually ate. You think you had these conversations in real life but, you didn't.

There's not a way to really explain what it's like to have these dreams. It just happens here and there. While it especially can stink when you have nightmares, you just have to remind yourself when you wake up that it wasn't really and it was just a dream.

We all love sleep but sometimes we can get really thrown off. But everyday is a new day and not every day is the same. We have good days and bad days. We just have to take each day by the minute as you never know what can happen. Pray for the best outcome in each day and remember life isn't easy. We all have those moments of struggling. But we can get through it, and that's a fact.

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.
