It'll happen eventually.

How To Know You've Reached the F*** It Point

I'm not going to cut corners anymore and say that things are ok. As of right now, everything in my life is the most chaotic it's ever been. College has not been kind to me these past two semesters and I know now that it is truly taking its toll on me.

There are too many things I am doing and too many obligations I have that I can't abide by all of them. To make everyone happy is impossible but what happens when you no longer can make yourself happy?

I believe that everyone reaches this point. When you suddenly realize that half of what your doing in life is not worth the majority of your time; where you are so drained that you no longer can stand the basic routine of your day to day. It's the point that you here about in Internet humor and peers all around. You guessed it: the f*** it point.

It doesn't just happen after one bad day. You can't just reach the f*** it point from getting a bad grade or having some sort of embarrassing moment. That's just simple frustration or anger that things didn't go right. Sure enough you'll bounce back again.

No, the f*** it point is a long and continuous stretch of mental and emotional exhaustion. Sometimes it spans entire weeks or months, where one thing after another hits you like a ton of bricks. You find yourself taking continuous L's and not even being able to enjoy your day.

You begin to feel self pity and wonder if it's just been a bad year or if it borders on serious mental illness. You begin to neglect people you so desperately want to be with because you're too busy with everything else. Class is more difficult than ever to keep up with and every week feels like you're losing more and more control.

When you begin to truly reevaluate things that are supposed to make you happy, reflect on the past few months and what you've had to do, this is when the f*** it point begins to be reached.

College is short. It's the first time where you realize how fast life goes by and how much you don't want to spend most of it being miserable. It's the first time where you realize this is your chance to make it better.

So to anyone who feels this same way, embrace the f*** it point. When you start to live a life that is fulfilling to you, that is when things will turn around.

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.
