There Is More To Being Just "Okay"

The world: an ever-evolving place that one can never hit the pause button on. It fast forwards before the blink of an eye and at times we are left asking ourselves, am I making the best use of the present moment? Am I being the best version of myself amongst the hustle and bustle? The most lingering question of all that recurrently ponders my mind is: how many people are settling? With 7.6 billion people inhabiting the earth one can only assume there must be a lot. Whether it be settling with okay friends, an okay job, okay relationship, or life itself why is it that we feel the need to settle? The reason behind this is that being okay is to be comfortable. And honestly who does not want to be comfortable? After all, being okay may pay the bills, and allow us to rest our heads at night. Many people are fine with living an okay lifestyle and guess what? This is okay. However, to be okay is not living a life of passion and thrill; it is not unforgettable or life-altering. At the end of the day we do not just deserve okay but so much more and although it can be scary to take risks we should be able to get to a point where we sacrifice what we considered to be okay for a small chance that something more amazing can occur.

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.
