A Letter To Those Looking For Direction

To the person looking for direction,

Everything is going to work out at the end of the day. It may not be ideal or the way you want it to be, but as long as you remain determined and strong, you will be successful.

There are going to be obstacles along the way; I am not going to lie. There will be people who don't want it to work out for you and there will be times you want to give up. Nothing is ever perfect and the situation you are going through is most likely not an exception to that concept.

You're probably wondering what you can do to find the path you want to take or may be curious about the answer to why you're feeling as though you don't know where you are going. It will take time. You'll have to find people to inspire you and an outlet for what you truly want to do. If it's becoming an athlete, you'll have to work at the gym and practice the sport you're interested in. If it's being a better person, you'll have to remind yourself to stay positive and handle things to the best of your ability. There are steps for everything and it's up to you to determine them.

Once you realize what you want to do and how you're going to make it happen, things get a bit easier. You'll have to brace yourself for the criticism and the "haters," but you will make it work if you are genuinely adamant about this. Stay positive and work through what's thrown your way! It's just the world testing you.

If you still aren't sure what you want to do or what your place is, don't worry. You always have time to reevaluate and figure out what is meant for you. If you're a believer in "everything happens for a reason," go with the flow and you'll find yourself figuring out that plan in no time. It's important to remember that you will find direction and your true path regardless of what is happening right now.

Sincerely,

A person on her way

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.
