See your world differently

Get Your Life

I think sometimes we have to step back and remind ourselves that we're only human and maybe that's the very superpower every one of us obtains. That the superpower of actually being human is powerful enough as it is. I mean, think about it: We have to deal with things in our lives that we don't necessarily don't want to face. Obviously the first idea is to run and deal with it later because you have something else to get done which you originally pushed back in the first place. Or, if you’re one of those that actually think twice and face it full force, kudos to you 'cause that’s mad maturity right there.

What I'm saying here is, maybe our lives aren't as perfect as we wished them to be. That waking up, going to work/looking for work, maybe even loving our jobs, hating our jobs, catching the train, sitting in traffic, going home, preparing food, doing laundry, eating the food, recognizing that the only idea of a workout you’ll accept is walking from one room to another, and trying to do as much work as you can so maybe, just maybe, a little load of stress is off for the next day, for the next second. I mean, isn't that what we do? Try to make today better for tomorrow?

Try to remember who are the ones that make your life just a little bit more dope. Try to remember what you can bring to the table of your own castle. You're the queen and king.

If you ask me, that takes a hell of a lot of energy. What takes even more energy is trying to decipher and eventually choose if the things we do every day, the people we are surrounded by—are they worth it?

From the many things we need to get done (and that’s all depending if you’re in a good or bad mood), to saying “f*** it all!” everyone tries, in their own ways. To say the least, life is horrible, like it’s really bad, no doubt. But it’s also pretty sweet, and we should think about those moments a bit more. That's an even bigger superpower we all have to face—willpower—and which world we're going to wake up to the next day: a world that we conquer with positive outlooks, kicking butt on a daily basis? Or a world filled with our drained ideas, thinking that we suck and everything else does too?

You choose.

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.
