Dear Future Me,

I would like to start off by saying that I hope you are a better person than I could have ever imagined. I hope you understand the expectations I have for you. You are the most important person in the world to me.

I hope that you have a heart big enough to hold the weight of life's obstacles. I hope you have the strength to live selflessly. Most of all, I hope you have grown so vastly in your walk with God and that you surpass everything and anything I could have ever hoped in accomplishing through His name.

The thing is future me, it's okay to not have everything figured out. Well, I know I most definitely don't have anything in my life under control. To be honest, lately, I've been feeling lost in my purpose. I thought I was headed in one direction, the right direction, with my degree and plans for my future dream job, but now? I am unsure about it all.

I feel like God is calling me to something. What's the right word? Bigger? Greater? Different? I don't know but I can't shake the feeling that the path I am currently on is not the calling God has for my life. Actually, it's more like he gently guided me off one path and now I feel like I am just standing in the brush on the side of the road.

I trust that He has put me on my destined path, I just cannot see it yet. But, future me, I'm hoping that while you are reading this letter you can see the path.I hope that you can not only see the path, but that you have the courage to follow it, embrace it, and seize it for all that it is worth.

Mostly I hope that you are currently giving everything you have in bettering yourself.

Let this letter be an outline for being one of the best testimonies you have to offer the world. And that you crave the courage and will to share it.

Love always,

Your Past Self

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.
