You are given two choices. One choice is going back to the past and doing things that you used to do. The second choice is to stick with the present. Sometimes, I think of going back to the past. These days, the world has been changing. The world is getting more dangerous. The world is dealing with a pandemic. There are a lot of changes that we have to do to make the world a better place. However, these days, I think it is better to stick with the present. There are many reasons why sticking with the present is better than going back to the past.

One reason why is that you will have to use a lot of stamina again. You have to retake long and hard tests and exams. You passed them once, but this time, you will fail. What about redoing the whole grade again? You could stand the whole school year, but this time, you cannot stand the whole school year.

Another reason why is being someone that you do not want to be again. In the past, you were immature. You know that being immature is not right. You have worked so hard to change yourself to become a better person. Even if you go back to the past as your present self, you still have to go back to your past self. What happens if you cannot turn back into your present self?

The third reason why is fixing your mistakes will change your future. Some people have some regrets from the past. The regret makes them want to fix the past. Fixing your past will change your fate. You will not get what you have in the present.

No matter how many things have changed in the world, keep going and do not go back.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
