What is my purpose?

The sun may be out today, it may storm tomorrow, but the sun will always return.

What is my purpose?

Why am I here? Not here in this seat, with my Macbook on my lap, sliding my fingers across the keypad: but here on this Earth. What is my purpose? We all have so many we will come across understanding at different times within our lives.

I am here bearing gifts, we all are. I bring gifts of smiles, happiness, acceptance, awareness, and truth.

What my main purpose is, is to #ShareASmile.

Life tests us enough, there is no need for us to test others. It is a waste of time and energy to do so. You never truly know a person, or what they have, or are going through. Each of us hold secrets. We hold words and thoughts in our minds to, as we believe, protect not only others, but ourselves as well. However, it is sometimes good to keep certain things private from the public eye.

My purpose is to be accepting, to hush my mouth and open my mind.

Purpose is strength, love, and motivation for troubles yet to come. We are meant to have gone through hardships. These are what shape us into who we will be today, tomorrow, and in the future.

Most of us have not found our true purposes. That's alright. Stay open, stay in touch with yourselves, and be willing to accept what things may happen. We may have extremely rough patches, but they do not define us, nor do they last. It may be sunny now, and it may begin to storm, but the sun will always come out another day.

Our purpose is to stay strong during our struggles, find the light, and to help those if we can.

Each of us have a purpose. If unknowing, start by being accepting, to hush our mouths and open our minds.

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.
