Psychics and signs - are they helpful or just a waste of time?

I have been extremely superstitious all my life and believe in signs that life throws in my direction.While I have some people in my life that believe in it as well, I have others that think it’s completely made up and inaccurate.I personally choose to make some decisions in my life based on the signs that I see.But the non-believers always have me thinking – is being superstitious all just in my head?

For example, I, like a lot of people, relate songs to the people in my life.If I’m talking about someone and that song that reminds me of them starts to play – it’s a sign, right? A sign of what, I’m not sure.But to me, it’s still a sign -maybe it’s a way of saying that they’re thinking about me as I’m thinking of them, or it’s confirming something I’m thinking about them.

The other day, I was running errands with my mom and we were going to a place that was close to where my ex-used to live.So sure, naturally there was a slight chance I would run into him there, but it was the middle of the day in the middle of the week.My odds of running into him were low, or so I thought.We walked through the doors and I ran smack into his brother.He was the first person I saw and made eye contact with.What are the odds?I mean, sure, I was hoping I would run into him, but I never thought it would happen.

My mom and I got back into the car and she looked at me and said, “That was a sign, but it’s not a sign.” She’s not the biggest fan of my ex, so of course, she didn’t want me to take that as a sign of anything.I got my superstitious ways from her, after all.This happened recently, so I’m still kind of marinating what to do with what happened.

I’m also a big believer in psychics.If you’re open to it, it works.If you go into it thinking it’s a scam, it doesn’t.I’m no fool, I know the difference between being read by someone who knows what they’re talking about versus someone who goes around saying “you’ll grow up to be very happy and successful.”That’s not what it’s about.

I was a skeptic the first time I was read, but I was more than open with the woman who was reading me.The moment I knew I was 100% a believer was when she told me that my mom still had feelings for my dad, at the time they had been divorced for years.I thought she was full of it, my house was a war zone when my parents were together.A couple months later, my mom told me that her and my dad were going to try being together again.Fast forward to today, they’re stronger than ever and remarried a few months ago.

So, call me strange, but I fully believe that being superstitious is real.You can’t force things to be “signs” but, when they are right in front of you, believe them.It might just help you get the answers to things you’ve been looking for.

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.

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.
