In A Perfect World
wallpapersafari.com

Sometimes when you have a bad day it is easy to wish a lot of things in your life were different. A lot of times you get hard on yourself and wish that the world was a little "less-sucky". So here's what life would maybe seem like in a perfect world.

In a perfect world you would get out of bed every morning and not look like you were hit by a truck. You would wake up with straight hair and a fresh complexion like a Disney Princess. You could roll out of bed and throw on a sweater and pump some T-Swift and just be flawless.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world you could eat all the guac and chips you wanted and never gain a pound. You could eat Taco Bell, McDonald's, and wings all in a day and never get fat--or a tummy ache.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world he would message you back like it was his job. He'd know you were interested and not leave you on read every single night. You would be loved so much and you'd be on top of the world. He'd compliment you and take you out on Fridays. He would kiss your forehead just because he loves you.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world no one would ever leave you. Your best friend wouldn't decide that the world no longer needs them. That boy you talked to for 3 months wouldn't all of a sudden decide that you are no longer relevant. That girls dad wouldn't have walked out on the family when she was starting high school.

The world isn't a perfect place.

So what though? We all know the life can suck sometimes and it would be nice for things to be 100% perfect but how fun would that be?

If something would have been just slightly different from what it is now, your life would be so much different. And it would have changed your perfectly imperfect self.

•.• •

In this imperfect world you wake up every morning with a lion's mane of hair, a shiny face, and morning breath. But someday someone will love you even more when you look that way.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world you ate a whole bag of potato chips and maybe had McDonald's twice today. Your little bit of extra chunk only makes your curvy jeans look that much better for date night right? And besides--you'll workout tomorrow... Or the next day.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world he left you on read last night when you finally confessed your feelings. You mope around for a month or so and finally move on, only then do you find someone new who understands all your awkwardness and loves it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world they left you. They left you alone crying in the bathroom at 2 A.M. They left you at the football field wondering how the last 6 months meant absolutely nothing. They left you and the rest of your family to figure out life without them. But eventually you move on and eventually you turn into a stronger person because of it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

• • •

You in your entirety make up an amazing and imperfect human being and there will never be anyone else quite like you. So the next time you wish life were working out a little bit better, just remember that the world is not perfect, and that's okay. It doesn't have to be.

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.
