Living with Doubt and Uncertainty

Dealing with Life's Curveballs and Throwing Them Right Back

Living with Doubt and Uncertainty
National Seminars Training

My least favorite thing about the stage of life I'm in right now is living with uncertainty. Not having enough money to cover all expenses and wondering when that time will come. Yes, I'm banking on the fact that I will do just fine when I finish college and have a full-time job. But then I wonder what I should do to make more money until that time comes. It just seems like there aren't enough hours in the day to take care of your house, fiance and children, part-time job, and all the time school.

I do my best to be happy in the situation I'm in, but I can't wait until we can buy/build a house, I graduate, and get started in my career. That is when I will breathe a sigh of relief.

I just want to be able to provide as much as my family wants and needs and to be comfortable with everything. Isn't that what everyone wants?

So in the mean time, it is very beneficial to be happy, relax, and make the most of what you have. I like to have time to myself, play guitar, use lavender in my diffuser to relax, take a hot shower, and read the Bible. I try to focus on who and what are important in my life and that make me happy.

It is difficult, but once you get to where you're going, it'll all be worth it.

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?

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.
