New Year, Better Mindset

Have a different mindset this year.

What do many people say when a new year arrives? "New Year, New Me." This is an incorrect statement to many people who do not go through with their expectations and goals for the new year. Everyone wants to change for the better, but some people do have a full grown plan to change themselves or the positivity around them to help them reach that goal. People want to see you change, but many people say actions that they never act upon. It makes many people think what people are really serious when they say, "New Year, New Me." I would never say that saying because I will not change physically, but most likely have a better mindset to put up with the problems I may have to deal with in the long run. A new year should be new problems and mistakes, but better solutions to get through those obstacles in your way. I want everyone to know that a new year can be a restart button for everything you had done in the past year and changing for the better, not for the worst.

As the new year of being 2017, people must realize that to start off changing yourself in the right direction setting goals is necessary. When you are setting goals do not say you will do it, but make the actions to complete it. People love to say words, but when no action are put into thought, nothing is done. You will make a few mistakes, but actions are what will make a huge difference whether you do it correctly or not. Mistakes are good as long as you learn from them after committing them. The new year is just a saying for people to "change," but not many people change because they'd rather state change than do it. Meeting expectations is great and most people must always begin from small steps. Small steps need to be taken before taking large steps and goals must be obtained before ever trying to jump to conclusions. People must realize that a better mindset for the future is far more important than a mindset that no one ever imagined they could have. Think before you act upon something.

Alright guys, to wrap things up, the message I am trying to send is a new year can change you efficiently. It is up to you to change yourself and not that "New Year" mentality that comes across. I want others to know that life comes with boundaries and leaps you must take before falling. I love that everyone has ideas, but no action leads to failure of ever making that idea bloom. A person must fall before they can get back up and find out why they fell before progressing. A new year may or may not benefit, but it's up to you.

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.
