New Faces And Places

Experience all you want in life. There’s a big world out there!

I believe there comes a time when it's crucial to step out of your comfort zone and live outside of the opinions of others. If there is something you want or have wanted to do, but it may be different than what others think you should be doing, do it. Don't be afraid to push the boundaries a little.

You have to be willing to throw yourself out there and experience what you want from life. If you never open up to experience what you want, then you'll never know what could be out there waiting for you, even if you try something you wanted, and it turns out that you don't like it that much afterward. You still allowed yourself to experience something new.

When you are eager to learn more about life or yourself, you start to understand things better. You can put things together. You become aware of certain things that might trigger you in positive or negative ways.

You're able to control your reactions towards certain situations in life. Things that may have affected you before, are now a thing of the past. You learn to live your own life, positively.

I recently took a chance and I decided to go out with a new friend to a new place. We went to Woody's, a club and bar in Philadelphia. It was crazy to me that I even decided to go. I don't go out to places like that much, and also, I hadn't been out much with this particular friend before.

I didn't know how the night would go, but I hoped for the best and tried to keep zero expectations. I went into the night with the idea that nothing would deter me from having a good time. No matter what, I was just going to kick back and let loose. Whatever happened during the night happened.

The whole night was new in a sense. I wasn't out with my regular friend group. I went out with a guy that I have only met a handful of times. For growing up so close to Philadelphia, I never really went there much for the nightlife. I took the train and I've only been on a train a handful of times throughout life. I socialized with a few random people, but usually, I don't really try to talk to anyone random when I'm out. Lastly, I haven't been to many bars since I've turned 21 a few months ago.

I went out wanting a new experience. That is the only idea I had in my mind about the night, and that's what I got. I enjoyed just existing in the moment with new faces and places. I took a chance and I had a great time.

Could things have been different or more interesting? Yes, definitely! But that's not what it was about, to me at least. It was about trying to explore a new side of life.

Go experience something different.

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.

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.
