Figuring out your future as a young adult is bad enough, but picking your lifetime job and career can be terrifying.

Some people come by it naturally or through their family. Some people have absolutely no guidance or influence at all when it comes to a career. Whether you are attending a 4-year college, attending a trade school, or jumping right into the workforce, there are many ways to know that you are going down the right path.

You actually enjoy attending classes

Now, I know for many that math class can be boring, but that is not my point.

If you look forward to any sort of training or class regarding your career, then you probably have a true passion for that field. This is much more than just liking the teacher, or enjoying the class because you don't have to do anything.

Classes or training that allows growth and presents challenges but also brings joy and excitement are some of the most impactful courses you can be a part of.

Even if the class is not a direct necessity for your career, but it could bring a new perspective or aspect to your resume which could help you in the long run.

You spend time looking into the career for fun

Research doesn't sound fun but doing it on your own without any requirements or guidelines can be really beneficial. Simply looking into the benefits or even opportunities with your career can help you to further understand and deepen your passion for whatever you plan on pursuing.

You talk about it a lot

When you can bring up your career in any conversation then you probably really like your career.

Talking about what you are passionate about is definitely not a bad thing. If your families or friends tell you to stop talking about it, then you must really really like that job.

The best thing you can do if your friends are tired of hearing the same things over and over again, find people that share your passion.

People that don't know anything about your career may not understand everything you are talking about, but once you find someone that shares the same career interests as you, conversations will flourish and go nuts.

Once you are away from it, all you want is to go back

When your passion is so pure, it is hard to take any time away from it. If you ever go after another job or for some reason take a break from your career, it can constantly make you think and reminisce your original plan. In some cases, it may get to the point to where you actually do go back and are better than ever.

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.
