To My Current Self

Your greatest blessings will sometimes come in letting go what's familiar and being willing to accept that which is here to take you to the next level.

Dear Self,

I want you to know that you are the best you've ever been and the worst you’ll ever be again. Each day is a new opportunity to grow and challenge yourself to be better than you've been and to do more than you've ever done. You are necessary. No, not necessary for the future, necessary for the NOW!

The Greatness you have inside of you can and will change many lives right now, if only you would begin to live your best life. Everyday you have the opportunity to live your best life by changing the way you see things and changing your mindset. You are more than enough. Everything you are is just right for you.

You never, ever have to compare yourself to your friends, family, foes, etc. You are worth every bit of Love that you give out to others. You may not always receive it and that’s okay, but when your life is blessed with people who love you unconditionally with no strings attached, embrace them.

Never allow your past hurt to hinder you from moving forward. You are a gift to not only the future but you’re a gift to the present as well. Continue to allow your smile to light up every room, your hugs to be filled with so much love and your presence to Make a difference.

You are still useful even in this state you're in right now. There is nothing wrong with this place you're in right now. No, you aren’t at your final destination but this place is just as meaningful as your purpose-filled destination.Trust God’s plan for your life fully! Never undermine the power you hold.

You are powerful beyond measure! Never let anyone or anything take the power you have away from you. You can change the world right now just by being an advocate of change and justice for things that matter to you. Life is not measured by the minutes but rather by the moments... unforgettable memories.

Make each moment count. You’ll find that one day those moments will be all you have left to remember. Don't be afraid of loss for it is just as much a part of the process as gain.

Your greatest blessings will sometimes come in letting go what's familiar and being willing to accept that which is here to take you to the next level. Keep shooting for the Stars and Chasing your dreams. Your Success depends on you! I Love everything about you! Always remember you are the most important portion of your life!

With Love,

Me

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.

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.
