A Quote That Inspires Me To Chase My Dreams
We Heart it

My laptop is literally like Hoarders: Buried Alive;

I think I can call myself a bit of a hoarder in that aspect because I've had my current laptop since I was a freshman in college (I'm currently a senior), and I've collected a fair share of files. I was cleaning my files on my laptops like old papers and such and I stumbled across a piece of writing from like 5 years ago. I mean I was like 16 about five years ago so how that got on my laptop is a complete mystery to me to this very day.

I assumed by the quote on top of the writing was what inspired to write this short inquistive piece. But it's not just the quote that just inspired me recently, it's what I wrote underneath the quote. In a way, it's a short story but in other ways it's just something to think about when you're out there making big life decisions.

I'm pretty sure i'll be using this whenever I need some sort of insight. I'll have to hand it to myself I was actually pretty wise.

"Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever remains to them?"

- Rose Kennedy

Did you know after a storm that birds sing? Each bird has a different rhythmic tune to sing and every song has a different meaning that makes it special. Perhaps humans should have their own little song to sing after a storm like a carefree bird.

But humans aren't like birds. We as humans are tethered down to something that holds us back from doing what we really want to pursue in life. Birds are free to do as they please. Nothing holds them back from doing what they want. What holds us back from doing that one thing to make us truly happy?

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.
