It's Never Too Late To Chase A Dream

Our dreams have no expiration date.

It's Never Too Late To Chase A Dream
Favim

I don't believe there is anything sadder than a dream that goes unlived. All the time, we hear people tell us of the dreams they had when they were younger, but they just never went for it because they were afraid of failure or assumed it just wasn't for them. Call me unrealistically optimistic, but I am to tell you that nothing is impossible, and that it's never too late to get started on the things you want.

So what if you didn't go to college right after high school? So what if you haven't moved to the place you've always wanted to live? So what if you never started that band you've always wanted to jam out with? So what if you haven't started that diet and workout plan yet? So what!

I feel like too often, we wait for the "perfect time" to begin something. The truth is, there is never going to be a "perfect time" if all we do is wait for it. Everything in our life is never going to be perfect- not in this galaxy at least. There is always going to be something pulling us back, but nothing gets in the way of our dreams like ourselves.

Instead of considering all of the things that go wrong, excite your mind with all that could go right. We at least owe ourselves the satisfaction of giving our dreams a chance.

We can do anything we set our minds to at any point in our lives. Our dreams have no expiration dates.

We are given just one life to live, which is kind of scary if you think about it. The cool part however, is that in this one life, we are given endless opportunities to do every single thing we've ever wanted. We just have to take the initiative, have a little faith, and just do it!

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
