If Wanting To Be Happy With Who I Am, And Who I Surround Myself With Is Wrong, Damn I Don't Want To Be Right.

I want positivity to ingulf me. I want to breathe it in, and wear it like a cape, because it's who I’m meant to be.

If Wanting To Be Happy With Who I Am, And Who I Surround Myself With Is Wrong, Damn I Don't Want To Be Right.

Every day is a new form of healing; a new layer that my heart sheds. Even when I have nothing to complain about, each day I find myself nitpicking something negative around me. I want to tell my brain to just slow down for a moment. I want my brain to realize that she's in charge of everything. If she's stressed, everything else will be too.

I want my heart to speed up for the right reasons. To get excited over accomplishments, and love, and life. I want my heart to stop stressing over the little things before she ends it all with a dramatic halt.

I want my hands to pick up a pen, and write until they hurt. To do what they love without a second thought because whether it's bad, or great, is only for them to decide. I want my lips to speak only of greatness. To shed light on everything that matters, and everything that needs to be heard. I want my feet to run. I want them to run everywhere, whether it's with holes in their shoes or designer loafers. I want my eyes to see only beauty. To look at everyone they pass with eyes of admiration and happiness, rather than eyes of judgment.

I want positivity to engulf me. I want to breathe it in and wear it like a cape because it's who I'm meant to be. I want to remind people of the sun. Warm, and inviting, and loved. I want to be that shift in my life, and everyone else's. That lasting impression who's words echoes daily in everyone's minds. I want to change not only for myself but for everyone around me. I want a lot of things. I guess I'm just high maintenance.

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.

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.
