New Year, New Me

Every new year is an opportunity to start fresh.

New Year, New Me

With the new year already here, people everywhere are setting goals for what they'd like to accomplish in 2017. A few weeks ago, I wrote up a list of resolutions I would like to stick to for the new year. So many people write their resolutions down but very few people actually follow through with them (I admit I am often one of these people). But this year I figured- what better way to stick to my new year's resolutions than to post them online for everyone to see! So without further ado, here they are.


Dear Future (2017) Self,

A new year means 365 days to do whatever it is you wish. 365 days to be a better you. In these next 365 days and beyond, try to do the following...

1. Stay consistent with going to the gym and eating clean. Plan your day accordingly so that you do not fall behind.

2. Spend more time doing things you enjoy. Read books, color, drink tea. Schedule time for rest and relaxation.

3. Learn a new language.

4. Continue to do well in school. Study hard & be ahead of the game. Maybe even take a few classes over the summer.

5. Start everyday with the mindset that you will get things done. It will boost your productivity.

6. Strive to be better, smarter, kinder, and more productive each day. Be better than your former self.

All of these things will make you feel great and be even greater. Treat yourself to the best and give yourself credit for all that you do.

Love,

Your 2016 Self

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.

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?

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.
