Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Never give up on yourself, your dreams.

Don't Give Up On Your Dreams

Flashback. We are all little children and we had big dreams. We wanted to be so many things. For me it was a singer, actress, a vet, and a dentist. Each one was a phase and I loved every minute of them. What were your dreams? Think about them.

At the age of 19 going on 20, I have an idea of what I want to do for the rest of my life, and that is becoming a psychologist. My dreams are to be successful and have a beautiful family, live on Long Island, and raise my children as close to their family as I am to mine.

At the age of four I had big dreams. I wanted to be anything and everything. What happened to those dreams? Well I grew up and I learned to be more realistic, which I guess is a good thing but I am not 100 percent certain.

Looking back at my childhood, I regret not pursuing my passion for singing. I can't help but wonder every time I go to a Broadway show that maybe it could have been my name in that playbill, me singing to thousands of people. At the age of 19, I learned.

I learned to never give up on your dreams. I learned that my future looks bright if I work hard and keep up what I am doing now. School is hard, the work is hard, and classes are boring. You need to take the fluff before you can really get down to business. But in the end it will work out, right? Stress is a common thing in college students nowadays. We work hard and we keep working to the point where it seems like it never stops. You want a semester break? Well good luck with that because it comes down to having internships and working, or even both. But you also want to see all of your friends who go to different schools.

The time we put in now pays off. Look at the people who are successful because they worked hard like we are doing now. Maybe you want to be a doctor, look at your own doctor and realize that they had to do the same exact stuff that you did now.

I wish little me realized that the singing lessons would have been great, even if they were super boring. It could have lead to something great and I could have been something. Now I am not saying I won't be something because maybe I will be. Maybe I will come up with theories and become a well known psychologist but that's besides the point.

You don't have to be famous to become something. You just have to do what you love and pursue your dreams. You do not have to agree with me but you definitely can become something. You can be the best you that you could be. Just never give up, don't just drop everything for a boy or because you don't think you are worth it. You are.

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.
