Hope For My Future

"We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope."

Hope For My Future
Alexandrea Dedrick

Hope is something that everyone needs to have in their life, whether it be a lot or little. For me, hope gives me something to work towards and more importantly something to look forward to. I am a twenty-year-old college student who is already in debt, and I can honestly say if I did not have hope, I probably would not make it through the day. Having hope for my future is something I want to have for as long as I am living because, without it, I would stop trying. So these are my hopes for you, Future Alexandrea:

I hope you are making a difference.

I hope you are doing something you love.

I hope you are surrounded only by the people who help you be the best version of yourself.

I hope you have seen more of the world.

I hope you have learned to forgive others, but mostly yourself.

I hope you are in love (or at least have been) and someone loves you just as much.

I hope you still appreciate Grey's Anatomy.

I hope you are healthy.

I hope you failed a lot (and learned from the failures).

I hope you laugh daily.

I hope you are still reading.

I hope you know how to deal with death better.

I hope you have a dance party once a week.

I hope you waited (and know what this means).

I hope you are happy.

I hope you love yourself as much as you love other people.

I hope you talk to your family weekly.

I hope you have 2 dogs (at least).

I hope you still wear your heart on your sleeve.

I hope you are still someone'sversion of innocent.

I hope you are still fighting for the things you believe in.

Hope is my one constant. I can find it in the biggest and littlest things. It is what keeps me going when I feel I am just going through the motions. My biggest hope for my future self is that I have not lost mine.

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.

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.
