For a good life

Patience is Key

Life can be very challenging at times. There are weeks that are so horrible. It seems as though nothing is working out the way you were intending it to. You complain your week away and repeat it over and over again. While you're complaining, you're also working and pushing yourself. Changing your perspective on your life as you go along. Finally, one day you wake up and your life seems so different. Everything seems to be working out for once. All of your wishes have become realities. All of your late night thoughts have come and gone and some have even happened. Life changes before our eyes.

Although, it's difficult not being able to force things to occur the way we want them to, patience is key. I've had these bad weeks before. Where nothing goes my way. I remain patience even though it's really tough. But then my bad weeks turn into a couple good weeks and I stop complaining as much. I stop complaining and I just soak up all of the good that is happening around me. I laugh a little more and worry a little less.

You see, we need both the good and the bad weeks in our lives. Because if weren't forced to go through the bad, we would take the good for granted. We wouldn't know what patience and perseverance really looked like.

Try to take the bad weeks and turn them into good weeks. Because with a little patience it will really happen.

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:

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.
