A Letter To My Life Right Now

I love life, but sometimes life doesn't want to be my friend

A Letter To My Life Right Now
https://jordandetmers.com

Dear Life,

You never told me you that you would not want to be my friend sometimes. I mean yeah, I get that life is tough and it is not always easy all the time. I mean I always imagined that I would be a teacher and I had it all figured out when I was in middle school as to what career path I would take when I reached college and after college. However, Life, you apparently steered me away from that plan. To be honest I am kind of glad you did in a way.

Up until today, September 15th, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, Life. I mean you pushed me away from being a teacher. I wanted to go into Marketing and then someone asked, "Oh what type of Marketing?", then I was lost again. How many times am I going to be lost until I find out what it is that I want as a career after I leave college? I figured it out, and I want to go into Public Relations. What type you may ask or someone may ask me, well the ultimate goal is to move out to Los Angeles and find work as a Publicist for a production company or a celebrity. How will I do such job? Well, I will research more about the PR field and connect with people on LinkedIn from my college's alumni page. So essentially, dream big, start small. Life, I finally learned that I have to start small and work my way up the ladder. So at least I found a potential career option for me. Finally. I might not even make it to LA one day but isn't that what goals are for?

Life, you always create so many problems for me. I mean break out after break out; umm... when are you going stop my break outs? I am using the same products I have used for the past few years and they always do the job. To be honest, I think it was those Tea Tree Oil products that I used because I was desperate that caused an allergic reaction to my skin and caused more break outs to appear. But I am not just talking about using those face products, I am talking once I got home last May after school ended, my face broke out completely. So, Life, why are you doing this to me? Did you really want to see me drop twenty dollars at CVS for makeup?

But enough of my complaining, Life. I do want to say that I have an amazing life minus those imperfections and confusions. I have great friends, I have a great family that I love so dearly. I have a great cat named, Garfield, but he is sometimes a bad cat. So, I cannot be all that made you. Even though things may not go right my way sometimes, I believe that I have to find ways around the obstacles that you throw at me because that will make me a well-rounded person in the long run. So what do you say, Life? Friends again?

Sincerely,

Me :)

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.
