Always Go Towards The Light

It's important to have goals in order to survive tough times.

Nothing in life is ever certain, and many people feel lost because they don't know where they are currently going.

College students often feel this way, and are unsure of their path in the future or what they event want their future to look like. The uncertainty of what young adults want in their future can make it seem like they aren't going anywhere, which causes them to feel lost.

Understanding what we want, who we want to be, and what we want to do can make it possible to find our end goal and stay on the right path no matter what happens in the middle.

Seeing the light ahead can make it easy to know where to go, but the darkness around us is still a terrifying reality. The path towards the light may be clear, but making progress on that path can seem like an uphill battle. No matter what happens in the darkness, it is always possible to reach the light.

People often fall away from their sight of the end when they begin to experience trying times, but those times are temporary. Goals can always be reached, whether it is in five days from now or five years from now. We can always get to the end, but we must stay committed to our path for it to be possible.

Anything that happens can knock us backwards, and these instances are what makes the journey hard. However, by pushing through the tough things in life, it is possible to realize any goal we set our minds to. While we may not always be moving forward, we are always on the right path: the path to the light.

Remember that even when you want to give up and things may seem dark, it's only temporary. Follow the light, and you'll be alright.

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.
