Living In The Moment Of Your Emotions

Have you ever met someone and just knew, knew that this person was meant to make an impact on the rest of your life? The hard part I feel like for me is trying to figure out whether or not to let them stay or let them go. Too many times someone will sneak up on our lives. A co-worker, a friend of a friend or even a random person you meet at the bar and while we find comfort in them we become content and suddenly someone that was only meant to be a friend is now your partner in what you would classify as a crappy relationship.

More times than not we mistake seasonal people with the permanent. How would your life be different if you never got the two mixed up? If there could be this sign magically hanging above everyone head. "I'm seasonal, don't fall for me" or "I'm permanent, come get to know me you won't regret it." How much heart ache would you of saved yourself, but isn't the beauty of life not knowing? I mean there's always the saying people like to throw out there "well everything happens for a reason," but does it or is that the way of justifying our actions and our current situations? Last time I checked I am in charge of my life. I make my own choices and if I don't like something then it's up to me and me only to change it. I can wallow in misery, deep in the words of "oh this was gonna happen no matter what" or I could change it. Upgrade my mindset, differ my life choices and stop living in the moment of my emotions. Yeah, you read that right. Stop. Living. In. The Moment. Of. My. Emotions. I know I have personally made this mistake too many times. What ever happened to thinking about things before we made a decision? If we're happy we are gonna make a decision based on the fact that we are happy in that moment, we are blinded to what is really going on. Same thing happens when we find ourselves scared, sad or even angry. We make decisions that effect the rest of our lives based off of how we feel in that exact moment. Nine times out of ten it's probably not the best option for your future but yet we do it anyway, there has to be more logic to that. But life would be so boring if we knew; if we had the ability to know who we would grow up to be, who our friends were and who we'd end up marrying.

Life is too short for us to hang on to those "seasonals." Yeah it's nice to have them, yeah it was good while it lasted but if someone is willing to walk out on you, willing to put you through hell and back for there own personal needs, then let them. Trust me you will come in contact with many other "seasonals" and one day you will find that permanent. Just enjoy the ride to and mystery of figuring out who is who, just maybe take some time to really think and if you're like me try not to maybe make all your decisions based on the moment. Live life not only for today but for what tomorrow may hold.

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.
