You’re the only person who has to live with you forever.

Dear Me, Pritorize And Love Yourself Unaided

To the me who struggles now, your love of self should be fierce and unconditional. Life is short. The body in which you were born will be the one that dies with you. So, love it abundantly and with joy. Learn that there is a bold line between self-love and self-obsession. Self-obsession is self-awareness to the point of exclusion of everything that doesn't revolve around you.

Contrastly, self-love is an appreciation and mindfulness of who you are that aids you in surrounding yourself with what complements you and your growth.

There is assuredness and comfort within you when you love yourself.

Prioritize and love yourself and see the difference it makes in your growth as a person, in relationships and life in general. Truly find joy within yourself first without depending on something outside of you for completion or validation. Watch how this makes you all the more successful in pursuits of romantic, professional, and spiritual gratification.

Romantically, be able to offer someone your already complete self. Professionally, believe that you are capable, teachable, and ready for challenges. Spiritually, seek what brings you the most comfort even if no one else understands it.

Know within yourself that your journey is intimate and sacred only to you. No one will treat your body, mind, and spirit with the same amount of care as you, the possessor.

Know that you are deserving. You will only pursue happiness that you feel you deserve. You can't offer what joy you don't have. You can't appreciate beauty that you envy.

Appreciate who you are raw and uncut. Appreciate who you are when alone without pressures of conformity or influence. Know who you are and stand in it. Know why you shed tears. Laugh abundantly, loudly with your head thrown and eyes closed tight. Dear me, love yourself with your eyes wide open.

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.
