Looking Back On Life

Don't forget where you come from

Looking Back On Life
Bailey Ann i

Have you ever just sat and thought about your future?

Not lightly thinking about it but actually thinking and wondering what it holds and how things will change. How you will have a family and friends possibly the job you love and the house you’ve always wanted but then there is also that terrifying moment where you look back.

You look back at everything that has changed from when you were a kid. Family, siblings and now you’re grown and you look back and miss it. You miss waking up every morning and having your parents there, together, having your siblings there and just being together. You miss just having the security that everything would be there every time you came home. But that’s the only sweet thing about change. Even though we always know it’s going to happen and even though nothing can stay the same there is still that comfort that we will always have those memories and will always have those people no matter where we go.

So as things change remember everything that has changed for good.

In my life, it has been a really big change over the past few months. I have moved away from home, my job, my family and everything that I was comfortable with. I had no idea what to expect because I felt like I was losing everything and I didn’t know how to handle it.

But then I just looked around me and remembered that my life is actually pretty incredible. The people I have around me, the love of Christ and just knowing that no matter what I am loved and wanted. So never forget that even though your life Is different and things change that it is still good. There are memories that are so incredibly sweet. Treasure them and continue on.

God bless.

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.
