I know what I want, and I know what I don’t want. I don’t want to play the games, I don’t want to just go with the flow. I have dreams, and I have a plan… and that’s all I’m going to chase. Although I’m not sure of everything in my life, I know what I deserve, and I won’t stop until I get it. But, I will give you another chance time and time again. The reason being each time I give someone a shot, I learn a little bit more about myself. I start to see the flaws and weaknesses that I have.

I’m in it to win it. My life is in my hands and I will control it to the best of my abilities. I don’t “need” anyone in my life. I will not let the judgment of others affect the way I see my future. I will not just listen to the words that you have to say. I need the actions to back it up. If you give me a reason not to trust you, it will not just be given back, it will need to be earned back. Prove that your words will have an effect on the way our relationship will progress. Whether it is dating, schooling, career, friends/family, take a step back and see where you struggle, and you will know what to look for. You will find the path that you want to take.

I went through a period of time where I have absolutely no idea what I wanted in any aspect. I was lost and had no plan. That was the most terrifying point in my life. But slowly by giving not only others chances, but yourself a chance you will learn what it is that you want. Surrounding yourself with the right people, who believe in you, and are willing you help you and have your back when things get rough. As you go on you will start to find things that you want, things you want to do, people you need and don’t need in your life. It’s definitely a process. It will not come in one day, but you will start to find your way and don’t settle until you do.

Knowing what you want, is a powerful weapon that can either be intimidating or inspirational. Not everyone knows exactly what they want, every second of the day. We all have moments where we get caught up and plans change. As much as we all have these plans… you have to accept the fact that we ultimately can’t control our fate. But know what you want, and shoot for the stars, because you can reach them!

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.
