No More Resolutions For 2020

I love striving for my #goals.

No More Resolutions For 2020

Along with millions of other people, I would make a list of resolutions at the beginning of the year. Also like many others, I added "losing weight" onto that list. I don't know about you, but I have never attained any of my resolutions. None, nada, nilch; every. single. year. This year, I wanted to change this pattern. I originally had no idea how I was actually going to accomplish this, but I knew I had to try my best.

For all my list makers, oh have I got something for you.

I myself LOVE to make lists. If you ask any of my friends, they will let you know how I make a to-do list for every day, a weekly to-do list, and lists on my desk calendar. I also like to keep short term goal lists in the notes app on my phone.

For this new year, I decided to make a list of goals instead of resolutions.

The word "resolutions" carries such a heavy weight for many people I know, myself included.

Every year, many of us have this list of resolutions that we want to complete over the following year, and some of us (me...) forget about those resolutions after a few weeks and don't remember about them until December.

The word "goals" carries a positive connotation, at least for me. With this idea in mind, I figured this would be the best way for me to strive to complete these over the next 12 months.

Here are my #goals for 2020:

Become happier - cutout toxic people and don't put up with others bullcrap

Express myself how I want - get tattoos & piercings

Eat healthier - no pop, less carbs

Lose weight & gain muscle - workout at least 3 times a week

Here is to a great year of attacking my goals!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
