Live For The Now

You will only live this day once. Make the most of it.

In the crazy lives we all live, it's so simple to get caught up in the thought of tomorrow. It's easy to stress over what happened yesterday. It's habit to run into the cycle of overthinking about the things we cannot change in the past or future. It's time to start living for now. Today is in our hands.

You have control over this moment. So, what will you do? Will you waste your time worrying about why you failed an assignment yesterday? Will you fall into a pit of worry thinking about if your plans will work out for tomorrow? I have one word for you: Don't.

Live for Now.

Right now, you are living. You are drawing the picture of your life, in pen. This meaning, mistakes you make, you must work with because they can't be erased. You can't create for the future, only now.

You will only be this exact age once. You will only live this day once. Make the most of it. If you want to eat that extra piece of chocolate cake, do it. If you want to text a long lost friend, do it. If you want to buy that shirt, do it. If you want to go for a run, do it.

Relax.

God has his plan and everything will work out. All you have to do is live. Take your decisions one at a time. Live one day at a time. Walk one step at a time.

Make mistakes you can learn from. Make memories to remember. Meet people to never forget. Learn things to help you grow.

Hold your pen confidently and keep drawing the picture that is your life. Have no regrets.

Live unapologetically.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
