Living In The Moment

I'm not too worried about what the future holds, and that's ok.

It's the end of my sophomore year of college and there's lots to worry about. Summer internships, moving off campus into a new home, preparing for the upcoming school year, even preparing for what lies ahead after college. Yes, all of these things are very important and should be planned out, but how 'planned out' do these plans have to be?

I believe in a happy medium.

I did plan for a summer internship. But I'm not worrying if it will develop into a job opportunity later down the road. If it does, great! If it doesn't, oh well.

I found a new home for next year, but instead of worrying if I'll stay for the next two years I'm just going to enjoy the time that I have in that new home.

The upcoming school year will kill me, but it is also all major classes, which is all I wanted since freshmen year. So i'm not going to complain. I'm going to enjoy it and be grateful for every second of it. Life, I guess my main point that I'm trying to say here is that people worry way too much. They worry about the future and what lies ahead but really, it excites me. Instead of worrying and planning so far ahead I just chose to live in the moment and enjoy what I have in front of me. Will everything last? Will everything work out? Maybe! But if it doesn't, more oppurtunities lie ahead. You know what they say...when a door closes, another one opens. Life opens up when you do, and simply enjoy every second of it. Life, let alone college, only happens once. So make the best of it! Live in the moment.

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.
