Hey,

I know it's hard to be in a new environment full of strangers that don't even speak your language. Classes may be easy for you because you're dang smart, but that's likely the only easy thing you'll ever find. No matter how complicated an assignment or a test can be, at least there're guidelines.

Other things barely have any type of "scoring guides." You may not know what to expect even though you binge-watched hundreds of related shows. You may not know how to react because your culture's one friendly act can be poisonous to another's. And then you just stop communicating because it's too exhausting.

Because no one tries to understand you. It's the similar work required of the brain, and people like to do fast, easy things. They have other friends who can understand their jokes and respond quickly in articulated speech, so they don't bother you. You're just like that difficult, boring, and elaborate math problem that mostly everyone will try to avoid.

So sad, isn't it?

But please, no matter how depressed your situation is, don't forget about the friends you have made. The ones that share your culture, your dreams, your emotions, your strengths and your weaknesses. Even though they cannot come to your assistance immediately when you need help, they will give you support throughout the process.

They will help you remember how great you really are, and that nothing can defeat you. They may not understand the situation very well, but they understand you well enough. They know what will help you the most, and to what extent should they give you emotional support so you can stand up again confidently.

The situation might be sad, but keep yourself joyful. Your perspective can change the world, trust me :)

Much love,

Vy

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.

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.
