Men, We Are Trying To Capture Your Potentials In College And Somehow That Might Be Ok

This is something that has been on my mind recently with Danielle Bradbery's Song, but I have noticed some of the things on my own on top of the song. I think that as a female in college, you come to realize that males don't exactly have everything put together. Granted, there are moments that we as females don't have our shit together half the time, but as I have recently discovered they may look like they have everything together as we do but at the end of the day, they could use a little construction. This construction to me means potential, who men could be but who they aren't quite yet.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not trying to say this about all the men I come across. But, what I do know is that it sometimes feels like a carnival ride being around some men. Every day, you are trying to feel out if the ride is going to be bumpy or not, even before it happens. So when there are times that do shine the light on them in a unique but still confusing way, you analyze everything a little bit deeper. You try to figure out why they may be clueless about something or why they won't text you back in a timely fashion.

But deeper than that, you may think you know them better at times and can see their true potential and where they may be going in life. They may not be on your whole journey, but they will be a part of it soon. But you still know deep inside that they can work harder and get out of their shell a little more once they let their potential shine. My point being is that its ok to be a work in progress but at the same time being aware of the progress that you are making as you are navigating through this thing life. We all are trying to figure out where we are meant to be, but it just may take a little bit of time.

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.

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.
