We Are The Hero's of Our Own Stories

I think it was interesting to hear that we are the heroes of our own life story. Every day we go on our own journey to see where it will take us, so when it comes to creating our pieces of work it is hard to not think of a part of your own journey while creating a character. The character that I create in a story is going to have flaws at the end of the day, so some of the flaws may or may not intertwine with flaws that already exist in my life or someone else that I have come across. The first step of the hero's journey is the call to adventure.

The call to adventure is something that we don't realize happens in our daily lives in society because we define adventure in different ways. My call to adventure this summer was to work as a host at Olive Garden. I realized that there might be more to the job when I started working one of my first shifts, I learned that there are other things that have to piece together in order for me to survive a shift, including rolling silverware. The guests, the atmosphere, the moments, and my co-workers all come to mind too, and they have become a part of my hero's journey. I think that is what call to adventure means, you have to look a little deeper than what actually is sometimes and that can be tricky. It may seem like the stars don't align every time for the call to adventure, but it is there to help guide and teach so that the journey can continue on the same path.

This is something that I have learned in life and in my summer class that I have taken most recently. What is something that defines your journey?

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
