This Life Is Yours, Go After What You Dream Of

"The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today."

This Life Is Yours, Go After What You Dream Of
Audrey Camino-jara

Something that's always going to be for sure is that life is way too short. It is too short to be second guessing. It is too short to be regretting. It is too short to not go after your wildest dreams. Your life can change in a minute. You are capable of changing your life and going after everything you've always dreamed of and that's what makes life beautiful.

Think of all the impossible that was accomplished in your lifetime, whether it's in your own life or what you've been seeing on the news. Think of someone who was told they wouldn't amount to accomplish their goals. Someone once told those people that their dreams weren't going to happen. Someone once told those people that what they want is impossible. Look at them now, they hold the highest seat. They now hold the grandest prize.

Life's too short to not go after what you want. Go after that new job, go move across the country, join that club, go to your dream university and don't look back. Make a plan and go for it. A brilliant person once told me "if you stop to think, you're dead". Think about that statement in every situation you can possibly be in. You need to act quick or you'll stay stagnant forever and while you may be comfortable where you're at, that's not always a good thing.

Sometimes you just need that push. Sometimes you just need that boost of confidence to get you going. I understand if your mental health gets in the way. I understand if it takes time to get you out of bed. I understand that sometimes everyday feels like you could've done more but you did less. I suffer from that as well. You need to be your own motivator. You need to take baby steps. You need to brush off the negative energies and thoughts because they do chain you down. Praying and staying occupied works for me, do whatever works for you but never give up.

If you needed a sign to get you going, consider this your sign. You need to make the most out of your life while you're alive. You can be alive but not be living. The people you look up to went through difficult times and rose up. The key is hard work. If you're putting the work into everything you do, it's going to show. You won't get anywhere and accomplish anything if you think that success is going to just find you. All it takes is passion, risk, and believing in yourself. You can have everyone on your side or nobody at all but if you really don't believe in yourself then you already lost the fight. Never believe that what your dreams are is impossible, trust me, EVERYTHING is possible.

If you need more inspiration, check out these people who proved that the impossible was possible.

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.
